@agbnufc_ I’d say it’s in the interest of self preservation. Don’t want to be hurt again. If you pretend you don’t care then it will hurt less.

I can't understand how willing the fanbase seems to sell Tonali. He's played 47 club games this season by the way, ran into the ground. How about get rid of the dross players and convince the European internationals to stay, just a thought.

@TaylorandPayne Every green tweet from the past 15 years of this

Absolutely no belief, no pride, no fight, no bravery, no creativity, no game management...nothing of any note in that second half. One of the most tepid and depressing halves of football I've ever seen us play #NUFC

@ChrisDHWaugh Can Ramsdale actually catch? Just stand there and catch it 🙄

#NUFC 1-1 #SAFC It had been coming. Xhaka cross, Ramsdale flaps & pushes it out to Hume, who hits towards the far post, then Diarra knocks it back & Talbi finishes. #NEWSUN

@CharIieBennett I agree. The quality going forward has really been lacking. Bad touches. Bad decisions. Need to be more ruthless.

I haven’t been impressed with Newcastle since scoring the goal. They cannot be complacent here. Sunderland are poor man. Treat the game as if it is still 0-0 and get at them. #NUFC

@amitttrmfc2 Could have held a raffle on La Rambla for the 2 spots the way this has ended....

Let me remind you both Fermin and Yamal shouldn’t have played this game

@TaylorandPayne That stinks. Thought Ramsey had an AWESOME game prior to that.

@ChrisDHWaugh If Ramsdale can punch a cross for once in his life man

#FCB 5-2 #NUFC The wheels look to be coming off, now... Yamal's corner, Livramento misses the ball & Lewandowski heads across Ramsdale & in. #BARNEW #UCL

@CraigHope_DM Ramsdale needs to punch a cross once in his life man

5-2... Lewandowski from corner. Gets ahead of Livramento at far post.

@TaylorandPayne I keep looking at it and maybe he doesn't get there. I don't know. I'm just sad haha. They either blew the red card or they also decided he wouldn't get there.

@Rake_ Would it not be a red if that's the case?

Not even sure if he gets to that ball if Trippier doesn't pull him back. We've gotten back into it twice already, we can do it again. Howay! #NUFC

@1AntY @CharIieBennett That was a penalty all day and punctuates a very poor half from Tripps.

@CharIieBennett Can’t argue against it, it was 100% a pen, same as 1st leg

No penalty… until the Barcelona players surround the referee. #NUFC

@agbnufc_ Punctuates a terrible half from Tripps. Tino on at half.

What a fucking shame. Nobody has took it to Barcelona at home this season, I'm actually stunned how we've approached the game. Superb. They've scored 2 penalties across the tie that has bailed them out, both our own daft defending.

Just had to get to halftime lads.... #nufc

@CharIieBennett Tonali, Burn players need to get in this ref's face about it. Barca chirping to him all game already.

Blatant yellow card for Barcelona. Denied again. #NUFC

@agbnufc_ @NUFC Both Barca goals embarassing. Comical. Men against boys type stuff. Amazing it's only 1 goal difference in this tie.

@NUFC Can you ever just switch your fucking brains on for 5 minutes after scoring a goall faewhjouoip

Bernal puts Barcelona back in front. [2-1] 19'

@agbnufc_ All started by Ramsey in a tight spot

Lewis Hall is the best left back in the world man what a fucking ball son. NOU CAMP SILENCED

@ChrisDHWaugh Started by Ramsey in a really tough spot.....

#FCB 1-1 #NUFC #NUFC had been rocked a bit by Barca's early opener, but have responded well. Hall plays a one-two with Barnes down the left, Hall spots that Gordon & Elanga are free in the middle. He centres early, Elanga lets it run across him & finishes well. #BARNEW #UCL

@CharIieBennett Keep Elanga on lolololololol

@CharIieBennett Willock of Elanga, Tino for Trippier.... Go again

Anthony Elanga… #NUFC

@henrywinter Big clubs with big money get off. A tale as old as time and a reflection of society.

At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.
