@NezihYaman_ @fmeetsdata Make the host nations friendly games of equal ranking value points to that of competitive qualifiers during that period.

@fmeetsdata then how can they accumulate Fifa ranking points to be considered in the seeding? just via friendly games?

We believe FIFA should re-evaluate their practice of putting the hosts automatically to Pot 1. Especially if there is more than 1 host. They already have the advantage of not needing to go through qualifiers + the home field advantage at the tournament. Assigning them to Pot 1 creates unbalanced groups + the knock-on effect on the unbalanced KO bracket.

@Patthecat01 @NornIronFan Ironic

@NornIronFan LoL 😆 the Welsh got no time for you bigoted bastards. How Bradley is playing for you twisted bastards defies belief basically

Absolutely delighted to see this, having uncovered Tom's NI eligibility and passed his name on to the association. Hopefully the first of many caps for Tom. 👏 #GAWA

😂😂😂

@gw850 Obviously he's shit. It's clear as day to see. Abysmal footballer.

How shite must Wissa be in training? £55m fucking quid.

International breaks are better than the Premier League this season

@Magpie_Watch1 @ToonPolls Burn has been our best CB this season. Schar a close second. Because he's from Blyth he gets less leeway than the likes of Botman who has either been injured, or terrible.

@ToonPolls this is why we will never get anywhere, more people want rid of schar than burn? obviously both are on their way out but schar is still 10x the centre half burn is, just cos he’s from blyth he gets princess treatment, have to be ruthless to get to that next level

1. Nick Pope. #NUFC

@gw850 Do you genuinely believe Howe should be beating Man City tonight in the FA cup?

A Managerial change didn’t work 30 years ago, so let’s keep Howe in a job indefinitely!

@DeadlineDayLive Slot admitting he has not evolved or improved as a manager. Continuous improvement is vital in any industry. Maybe LFC need to put him on a PIP?

🚨🗣️ Liverpool manager Arne Slot: “I am the same manager as last season! It’s so hard to create tempo in a game if the other team doesn’t want to have tempo. “It’s so hard to create so many chances in the current Premier League where everybody is so physical and has a certain playing style." This sort of stuff must be so frustrating to read as a Liverpool fan. It's like he expects teams to come and play EXACTLY how HE wants them to play, so Liverpool can have it easy.

@bensprattjourn @NUFCcook And if that somehow was our cup final, we have won 6 of the last 8 cup finals. Reality is, it's just standard win these days.

Seeing Man Utd fans talk about Newcastle’s “cup final” is very, very funny. Newcastle have won a domestic cup final more recently than Man Utd have won a domestic cup match

@DeadlineDayLive @MikeKeegan_DM 22 days of not having to watch the Premier League, big win.

🚨 From next season onwards, the Premier League and the Championship will have a 22-DAY break after Matchday 5. FIFA has merged the September and October international breaks into a single window, which will run from 19 September to 10 October 2026. (Source: @MikeKeegan_DM)

State of the comments and quoted tweets. State of NUFC X "fanbase", all raging we won.

@Jayliverpool78 Only seen until 1-1, thought were were very good until that point. But we only play for half a game now, it's our identity this season. Anyway, Sir Edward was rotating because we're prioritising winning the Champions League instead.

@Plowry89 can we play u every week? 🤷🏻‍♂️ and before u think I’m being a prick I actually mean it was nice to play a proper team instead of a robot 5-4-1 “we want a point” team. 1st half an hour we where lucky not to be at least 1 behind. Eddie Howe has a good team there 😊👏🏻👏🏻

This tweet and the replies sums up our knee-jerk, over the top, reactionary social media fanbase.

@KingDivock3 @ronahhhhhhh It's the handball law, if the attacker handles it, it's a handball. Arm position or intention is irrelevant. The moment it hit the attackers arm, that's a foul. So what happens after, with Miley is inconsequential.

@Plowry89 @ronahhhhhhh But the attackers hand is in at his side in a natural position, you can’t tell me miley is in a natural position there

Why is the commentator saying that’s not a pen in the psg Newcastle game? About as stonewaller as your gonna say

@KingDivock3 @ronahhhhhhh The moment it hits an attackers arm in build up, it's handball. No matter the intention or arm position. Shocking decision.

@ronahhhhhhh Hands in at his body if it isn’t there it doesn’t impact the ball flight

@StevenBeacom5 @WGMac Sideways step and still not enough to merit an international call up

UPDATE: Northern Ireland forward Ronan Hale shone for Ross County...now the former Cliftonville ace is set to join Gillingham. The League Two side have got themselves a fantastic finisher...👇

Delusional, he says. And without a hint of irony. 🤦‍♂️

@NUFCBrace How can a take be so wrong 😂

Woltemade just doesn't work at all for the way we play. You've got 10 men on the pitch most of the time. With Wissa, even if he doesn't touch the ball for a while, he forces them deeper with the in behind threat. Woltemade does the opposite #nufc

@geordiejosh @JoelJackson89 *Barnes 9, Gordon 7 goals.

@geordiejosh @JoelJackson89 Barnes has 7 goals, 2 assists. 1,395 minutes played. Gordon has 7 goals (inc 2 penalties), 3 assists. 1,469 minutes played. "Gets stuck in more" = gets more red cards.

Totally the right thing to do imo. I’ve said it for ages now Anthony Gordon starts over Harvey Barnes no matter what, he brings things to this team Barnes never has.
