Big Geordie

He played as a right winger against us for Monaco, when he was a teenager. I think Sonny Anderson (ex Brazil) might have been in the same side.

He's apparently been playing with a knock for a long time, which is testament to his attitude and love for the club. That said, he's been found wanting on a good few occasions this season. Perhaps Eddie should have taken him out of the firing line more, but felt unable to? I'm far from a Longstaff hater - he''s a good squad option, but if the club is to progress - better players than him needed for the first XI.

He's been terrific all season and he seems like a really good lad too. Must admit, I wasn't fussed when he first signed, but he's one of the first names on the team sheet at the moment. And - he will only get better. Did really well tonight and as others have said, provided our only real threat - Isak unfit, IMO.

Anderson is still a young lad and may come good I thought he did OK tonight.

If he and Howe have had a falling out, thank the lad for his services, but it's time to shift him on. Having pretty much only one fit striker (Isak) for the whole season has been a real issue and a mistake by the club. Needs addressing in the summer.

Good shift and a great goal tonight, from the young man. Defo can hold his head high.

Looked very rusty tonight - I expect he wouldn't have played, had Tino been fit. The injury curse this season has been almost never-ending.

Just not to be for us, tonight. Again - having Wilson available may have made a difference. Am not hopeful for a win on Sunday - 8ith with still be a good achievement given the luck and injuries we have had this season. No Europe next year may well end up turning out to be a blessing (if that's what happens) Thought Gordon, Bruno and Hall were our best players. Dubs looked really shakey all night - Longstaff had a night to forget and Miggy contributed next to nout when he came on. Plenty to think about.

I wonder if we've seen the last of Wilson in a Newcastle top? Happy enough with the side, tonight. Howay the lads!

Ederson up and ok by the look of it.

Arsenal supporters beside themselves now :-)

Shocking atmosphere - even though I know what the crauc is.

My 10 year old nephew there tonight. First NUFC game, I believe.

Apologies if Giggs;

What a garbage and boring game.

6mins Fergie time

Expected a bit more from both sides here, if I'm honest. Being played like a pre-season knockabout.

Trossard with the goal

Congrats to Gateshead on their win yesterday. How much do they get for winning?

For the record, I would be happy with the ECL next season. Remember where we were 3 or 4 years ago - we'd have jumped at the chance then.

If we don’t qualify for Europe, it’s because we haven’t been good enough. Still in our own habds, IMO.

Double bugger

Finish ??

I'd laugh my tits off at the PL, if the title and final relegation spot is done and dusted before next Sunday. Bastards.
