Well Villa's win has ensured one thing for #NUFC today...
The dirty mackems are still only 4 points away and can be caught 🎣
I'm not saying we will btw... But at least there still something to play for 🙏🏻
I woke up and immediately checked socials and news feeds 📰 which suggests where my head has gone 😟
It pains me to say it feels inevitable that big changes are coming soon.
I hope I'm wrong...
Because it's never easy moving from one successful era to another, and may mean more of the same.
#NUFC
I've really have run out of words right now😶
Same story... different week #NUFC
And how many games as WO played versus the rest?! As an analyst by occupation, I'd emphasize better comps🤨
One player doesn't make a dressing room, but this sort of attitude should not be tolerated
There's been many concerning moments this season, but yesterday was a new low.
After a 3 week break, they offer up that!
Lethargic, shot-shy, naive, and no savyness so see the game out.
Legacies and good-will among fans are quickly being eroded.
Not sure where the next win is coming from #NUFC
A gallant effort from the lads last night, the outcome could have been sweeter 🤔
Hall 🏴 and J7 🇧🇷 were the standouts ⭐️
Trippier’s shift deserves a mention 👏🏻
Looking back, it looked like tiredness was creeping in at times.
All those matches this season is catching up with players and fans 😪
#NUFC
After a positive start we were, once again, taught a footballing lesson by Man City tonight.
Sometimes you have to hold your hands up and acknowledge when you've been outclassed.
With Barca in mind, I’d rather this outcome than see the lads expend more energy.
Tuesday is the main event #NUFC
I wonder if Eddie Howe unleashed his inner Al Pacino in the pre-game team talk last night 🤔
Every player was on their game from KO - first to every ball, every 50/50.
Winning every inch!
#NUFC
▪️A much better performance and super result away from home 🛣
▫️The dynamism 🏃🏻♂️of Ramsey & Willock were a big difference maker tonight
▪️Not all our problems are sorted in one night - Defending a lead still scares me ⚠️
▫️Eddie remains our king 🤴🏼 Great moment for the gaffer after the past week 🥳
#NUFC
We're very quick to write people off, even after proclaiming them to be cult heroes!
Previous transfer windows, and boardroom flux are finally catching us up.
Rather than booing which achieves one thing. Unity and acceptance, through gritted teeth, of where we are this season is needed.
#NUFC
As I've repeatedly said, Howe has to do better and more importantly, can do better... But he's not the problem.
If the seemingly growing minority want change, I'd love to know who they think we'll attract now who can get a better tune out of an exhausted and hobbled squad with this schedule.
#NUFC
Rightly so. He's not perfect (but who is) and has made mistakes this season (who doesn't). But he deserves far more patience than the minority seem to be willing to give him.
Ah I see 💡 no apology necessary, that's on me. I just think some of us seemingly need a little more time to sleep on it, or we could be looking at a 'be careful what you wish for' moment.
I did read it 👍🏻 But it shows how fickle we are and short a memory football fans on the whole have. I don't have to scratch my noggings too hard to think back and remember what constituted as boring in black and white.
Regretfully, I worry we - as a fan base - are already drifting toward this kind of negative energy #NUFC
If Sir Bobby and his team copped it from fans in 2004, why should anyone after be treated differently - including a manager who’s achieved more in less time ⁉️

Totally concur and echo your point. The irony of your the repost is it's a member of the "True Faith" squad! Since the first two transfer windows post takeover, argubly every signing hasn't hit the ground from the off, but some fans are conveniently forgetting that at the moment.
Villa have been the better team, no debate...
But the refereeing performance is driving me barmy 😠 how many times have they got away with persistent pushing, shirt pulling, and ticky-tacky fouling without a booking!
A marked improvement is needed, with quicker interchanges and movement
#NUFC
The calm before the storm at SJP 🏟
A big night — and a big performance needed — against a familiar opponent 🇳🇱 from years gone by.
No time for divided opinion tonight, only full support for Eddie and the boys 🙌🏻
#NUFC #UCL #NEWPSV
While today’s result and performance were poor, a bit of perspective is needed before calling futures into question 📢 #NUFC
Results this weekend — and all season — show how unpredictable this league is 🎰
This season may be comparably disappointing, but patience and a deep breath are still needed.
My biggest disappointment with today’s showing was the lack of creativity in tight spaces. #NUFC
It felt like chances only came from wide areas and crosses — with little technical manipulation of defenders to create shooting opportunities.
This is where a number 🔟 would’ve come in handy 🤔
#WOLNEW
Big opportunity to regain our spot among the top 5️⃣ with three points in the Black Country today. #NUFC
Predicted starting XI:
▪️ Trippier returns at RB
▫️ Questioned❓️ whether Bruno 🇧🇷 should be rested — unlikely
▪️ Miley ⭐️ moved to a more familiar CM role
▫️ Barnes 🏴 starts in place of Murphy 🔄
#WOLNEW
Wolves 🐺 may be bottom and our form improving, but I still feel a level of anxiety 😬 about tomorrow.
Their league position doesn't reflect recent form, and a fearless, free-playing opponent is always dangerous ⚠️
2️⃣ draws from our last 3️⃣ at Molineux — I may be content with another by full time #NUFC
Forthcoming events:
27 Jan, 7.30pm - Backstory, Balham - discussing The Power and the Glory £15 - book here: backstory.london/products/27t...
30 Jan, 6pm-7pm, Cockroft Theatre, Cambridge - discussing writing of football history. Free, but requires reservation: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/footnotes-...
▪️The tie isn’t officially over, however achieving a semi-final berth still deserves applause.
▫️Last night’s performance was good — more clinical and on another day, a different outcome.
▪️I still believe Big Nick & Wissa will come good, but top form will likely come next season.
#NUFC #CarabaoCup
FT: #NUFC 0-2 #MCFC
▪️Valiant effort by a squad looking increasingly fatigued 😪
▫️Missed chances 🚫 punished in the end
▪️Opponents experienced at sucking the life out of contests❕️
▫️Barnes can't allow Doku down the line for the opening goal 🥅
▪️Hall was the star performer, again ⭐️
#CarabaoCup
What's new!
HT: #NEW 0–0 #MCFC
▪️ No thunderous start, both teams in a chess match ♟️
▫️ Wissa should’ve tested the keeper 🧤, but his pace in behind troubles City’s defence 💭
▪️ Hall is an absolute baller — showing poise and composure
▫️ Attacking downhill second half… who breaks first❓️
#CarabaoCup
Another Carabao Cup 🏆 encounter, and another stop at The Dolphin 🐬 — hopefully it brings the same luck tonight as the last time 🙏🏻 #NUFC #CarabaoCup
