He and Osula barely touched the ball, though Wissa did take Osula's usual role of just fouling people

Yes, I totally agree

They pressed us, we couldn't cope, we lumped it forward and gave it straight back to them

When we pressed, they just played around us

Ramsdale 4

Hall 7 / Burn 6
Botman 5
Thiaw 5
Trippier 4 / Tino 5

Willock 5
Sandro 6
Woltemade 4 / Joelinton 6

Barnes 7
Osula 4 / Wissa 4
Elanga 4 / Gordon 6

Even Ait-Nouri, I think he's fucking excellent. We're just really fortunate to have of the best and most underrated left-backs in the PL

Sandro is important to us because he covers a lot of ground and he's athletic as fuck

On the ball he offers almost nothing in comparison to Bruno, like night and day

His skills are replaceable. To replace Bruno we'd need to be spending world transfer record fees

This is the most mental take I've ever seen on social media 😭

Bruno is up there with one of the best players NUFC has ever had. He's technically elite. Passionate as fuck about Newcastle. Proper, proper leader

Tonali runs around a lot

Yeah, sure, but that final pass is... a bit important 🙂

Tripps knows where to play the ball, how to cause problems. Tino gets the ball, runs with it, plays a short pass and... that's basically it

Ironically we saw more attacking output from him when he was on the left

I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.

There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.

He's one of the biggest victims in modern football. Never his fault. Always crying. And his injury record is horrendous too

In the right conditions, he's a really good player. Unfortunately those conditions aren't found often

Levy isn't involved with Spurs now? They ousted him

They've got a pretty tough run in. Forest and Leeds at home will be the deciding factors. If they can manage to win those, they stay up

But unless they get some of their creative players back, fit and firing, I'm honestly not sure how they win

IMO sacking Frank was a huge mistake

And again, I put it down to arrogance from the club, the players - and tbh, the fans

They were missing 10 first team players. ALL of their capable creative players

And yet they sack the manager because they're not scoring a lot of goals?

Shortsighted as fuck

Just watched the Match Cam video from Manure (I fucking love these btw) and Elanga called Osula "Mbappe from Nigeria" 😂😂😂😂

Absolutely fucking owned

And this is half Spurs' problem - they think they're better than their players actually are

Their best players are currently injured and the rest are awful

Bergvall and Gray are real talents, I'm not arsed about the rest

IMO Simons is actually shite. Good against a weaker team with a bit of space to operate, but looks really poor against decent teams

Yup, I'm inclined to agree. Archie Gray probably the only player I'd be interested in

My mate is a Spurs fan and honestly there's very clearly a cultural issue with the club. The players do not give a FUCK

If they go down, they'll lose their best players, and be left with a bunch of average fucks who think they're too good for the Championship

.. could be a tough time for them

Btw the difference between Spurs with 10 men and us with 10 men was frightening. We fought like fuck, barely noticed a difference. They just gave up and sat back

They're in a relegation battle ffs, arrogant bastards

When he plays well, Tripps is still one of our biggest attacking threats. Tino is a better 1v1 defender but his attacking output is almost non-existent in comparison

He's our best player. Every team struggles without their best player

But stats are also slightly skewed because - another incredible attribute of his - he has played SO many minutes for us

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding.

New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025:

🟢 Green Party: £189,010
🟣 Reform UK: £5,456,000

Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.

I thought Sesko wasn't bad last night tbh he just didn't see a lot of the ball

Mbeumo, one of my favourite players, was canny fucking terrible. He massively struggled against Hall

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either." PLUMBER DEFEATS MATT GOODWIN Photo of Hannah Spencer with speech bubble saying… I've stopped the cock

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

I honestly don't understand this because it was so much better to watch than the Everton game where we got dominated in duels and then resorted to our usual passing sideways against a low block bollocks

Manure gave us a bit of space and we made them pay for it

For the first 65mins, he was the best player on the pitch. Aggressive in the tackle as always, but he was technically excellent - great close control, great passing

Could've made better shooting choices

At 65mins when he started to tire, the entire team was worse as a result. Very impactful

Yeah and that's just not true. We absolutely dominated them until about 65mins where we tired and started to play more defensively, which allowed them to generate some opportunities against 10 men

Since he was signed!!

can Ramsey's one-match ban even be appealed, with it being two yellows?

dropping Pope in particular was a strong decision from Eddie because Ramsdale hasn't been great either

but that and the Osula sub - which most of us didn't want (Gordon was having a good game, but clearly tiring) won us the game

so let's drop the "Howe's subs never help" as it's not always true
