Nothing left to play for, not even pride. Disappointing, tbh. But I suspect it's a prelude for a catalogue of further disappointments in the coming weeks as we lose out in the transfer market and start the pre-season with a ragbag of poor-quality journeymen.

Yup. It's like taking a snail into a cockfight.

Usually, I try to subscribe to this as a central part of my belief system. Not tonight. Ref's bent.

Is anyone else watching this on Sky via NOW TV and the picture feed quality is awful and keeps freezing? About to lose my shit!!

Fingered by the goalie

That's been ongoing since the start of the first half at least.

Feared that might be the reason Gabby Logan rushed off from presenting MOTD midway through last night's episode. RIP.

Proper shite news. Sending my very best to the true Geordie Messiah.

Can't help wonder if Nancy is thinking...

I'm not considering boycotting it, simply because I don't think it's going to happen.

Would dovetail well with the England job coming up after inevitably tumbling out of the World Cup.

The “sell him” shouts are utterly brain-dead. One bad moment and suddenly we’re rewriting a player’s entire career? If that’s the standard, half the squad should be on Rightmove by Monday. Pointing to Woltemade's OG as the reason we lost is just lazy scapegoating. It’s much easier to blame one bloke than admit the wider truth: we were piss poor across the pitch. No control, no composure, no cutting edge, and precious little intensity. Matches aren’t decided by a single unfortunate touch. They’re decided by 90 minutes of collective mediocrity — and that’s what actually cost us.

I just felt sorry for the lad at the end of the match, looked utterly broken - he knows the stick he's going to get and it's gonna burrow into his head big time.
