I'm only messing. Need to give you my future tickets!

Delighted for you.

I was thinking that, but there's no inexorable Karmic equilibrium with these things. Could so easily undeservedly lose two games on the spin now. I've become quite melancholy about it after a very mature and philosophical outlook last night

Yesterday was a bit of a missed opportunity for him on reflection. A few moments where he was put through, and he couldn't do anything with it, or show anything special.

Yup, includes some goalless draws.

I know it's more than a little self-important but I genuinely feel guilty for attending yesterday.

Surreal trip continues. Ghodoussi and Staveley are on the table next to me at breakfast. They thought we played well second half but that CL is ruthless.

Sorry everyone. Probably the best I've seen them play IRL though. Seemed more vulnerable from our own set pieces than Dortmund. Thought we were a bit too direct first half, not really taking care of the ball. Have to give credit to Dortmund, they were really fluid on the break. And showed a bit of incisiveness even when we were set. Second half was good. Couldn't believe we didn't score, but haven't seen the replays. Feel completely fucking cursed tbh. Convinced I'll never see them score. Each chance seemed more gilt-edged than the last. Didn't leave feeling that despondent but injuries and fixtures don't bode well. Think there was a lot of unwarranted disparaging comments about Dortmund before the game. They were the better team IMO, although a draw would have been a fair result.

Got a ticket. Utterly horrendous record at games (must be an aggregate score of circa NUFC 0-13 opposition), apologies all.

Thought so. Dudes in the lift didn't seem like fans.

What hotel are Dortmund likely to be staying in?

Well that was class. Still very unnatural to feel so comfortable throughout. Not sure if it's because we have a group of players with more animated facial expressions than in previous years, but it does seem like they get properly pissed off with each other when someone fluffs a chance, or misplaces the final ball. Gordon and Wilson in particular seem very impassioned

Bruno is in top nick.

This is the shittest derby going.

West Ham were decent, and unlucky with the ref decisions. Kudus looks a player!

Fair result. Not the best performance, but understandable after a huge midweek effort. Missed Gordon. Need a few more playmakers next year. Useful point overall, even though it never feels that way when you get a draw from having held a lead.

Very flat first half. Difficult to mentally transition from counterpunching to being the team that has to break down a team looking to play on the counter. Isak having to drop too deep, no one in the box. Chuck on Wilson to play up top with him IMO.

Yeah was happy for them to win in Europe last year. They also seem to like Newcastle (based on a small selection of Twitter accounts). While they have some terrible fans, all clubs do. I'm sure we'll both have more gripes with one another by the day's end, and particularly if we enjoy continued success

Pardew on Bruno signing extension:

They should have gone straight to Local Hero IMO.

Back to despising England after a brief respite. Henderson and Philips ffs. They'll waste Bellingham's golden years, you can put your house on it.

Proper 12th man. The club should be funding this, tbh.

Oh yeah! He's like the new Bellamy. Everyone else fucking hates him.

Just beat Man City and PSG. Deservedly.

Proving me immeasurably wrong. There's gonna be nothing left of him by season's end, he's running so hard. Hope he gets a game off soon. Won some crucial fouls second half too. Class.
