Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against your inability to find the light switch.

Now I've calmed down a bit, I just want to re-iterate that I thought Botman had a really good game yesterday. #NUFC

Stephen Ord isn’t pulling any punches with his match report following today’s chasing at home to Villa - who can disagree that Villa are miles better than us? #NUFC

Ordy's had enough. He's not the only one.

We lost that game for exactly the same reason we couldn’t beat Wolves - complete lack of a cutting edge in forward positions.

See also numerous other defeats.

Forwards are painfully mediocre.

Let's be honest though, based on the PL games we've played so far, we don't deserve CL qualification. And you'd have to be the most hard core of Happy Clapping Branch Davidian Moonie-Toons to believe otherwise. #NUFC

Nobody will shoot. Ever. Because Eddie's mantra is "retain possession no matter what." And it isn't working. #NUFC
Why the fuck didn’t Wissa shoot!? Isn’t that what strikers are meant to do? 😡 #nufc

FULL TIME 0-2
The Toon’s winless run without Bruno extends to 11 games.

Impotent, out-muscled and outplayed tactically.

Injury to Joelinton is worrying given his recent resurgence. Ramsey did ok and Sandro.
Kiss goodbye to the UCL next season, we’re playing like a mid table side.

Eddie is a great coach. But he's working with a squad that lacks quality in depth. Maybe he's too loyal to players? Willock's time has passed but there's no sign of him moving on? Miley is a huge bonus. But he may well get overplayed due to the lack of depth? The kid is only 19 and still growing. 1/

That's what happens who you have an *actual* line-leading striker in your side. Why the fuck we are sitting on our hands in this window is utterly beyond me??? Wissa lacks the stature to lead the line and Nick is a 10 not a CF. This fucking club man... PAINFULLY FUCKING FRUSTRATING!!! #NUFC

There's got to be 20 mins of play left here. Get the ball into Elanga and send him at the fullback. Get Woltemade to play actually on the shoulder of the last defender rather than 5 yards behind him and we'll get a goal. #NUFC

This shit is fucking destroying football mind. #NUFC

Botman has been superb mind. #NUFC

Elanga might just have a field day here #NUFC

58' Goal! Pressure pays off and we get a break, ball is cut back to Oona who digs it home.

2-1 come on lasses!

Dipped after the first fifteen but came back into it towards the end again. Oh for someone who’ll just fucking shoot! Thats the difference basically. #nufc

Yet another fucking abysmal ref #NUFC

World class save from a world cup winner there #NUFC

Watkins literally never stops whingeing at the ref. #NEWAVL #NUFC

Thiaw also looks half asleep at times. I love the kid, but he's definitely got a concentration problem. #NUFC
January 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM
Zero pressure on the ball there. Sandro in particular needs to have a look at himself. #NUFC

Time to prove we can win without Bruno. I back Howe protecting him for Wednesday.

Akpan straight in. I'm gutted that they've scheduled the men's and women's games at the same time. There's a lot I can't do lol. And watch two football matches at the same time and properly follow them is one. #NUWFC #NUFC
