Pen decision is a smoke screen. Threw away a 2 goal lead. 13 points from winning positions. It’s a welcome distraction for the media and team the pen. Don’t fall for it. #NUFC.

Pathetic from Newcastle. There’s a mentality problem. 15 points lost from winning position, 0 won from being behind. Today’s performance was unacceptable. Outfought all game. Howe needs to address this and stop pretending it isn’t happening. For derby that was embarrassing #NUFC

Lads this continual Liverpool demise isn’t great for business. Howe will certainly be on their shortlist…#NUFC

I need Howe to show some rage here…#NUFC

Hate to say this, but Burn epitomizes the malaise at #NUFC today. Gives it the big one in the press conference post West Ham about away form and mentality. Then scores a worldie in champs league, then gets sent off in the away game he gave the big bollocks about the mentality. 🤷‍♂️

Arsenal deserved that, they battered us lads. Early days, but it’s all looking a very clunky. Five at the back thing feels like we lose exactly what makes us strong. “Intensity is our identity” hasn’t been for a while. And Gordon…when did he last have a good game?! #NUFC

Woltemade in, now if they can get a back up striker, and I sense with Isak money there may be a big midfield surprise…could be a sensational window. #NUFC
Controversial, but #NUFC is building a better, deeper squad. Elanga, Thiaw, Ramsey, Ramsdale - add Wissa, 1 midfielder and someone like Jackson to replace Isak (I know) You’ve a brill squad, with enough goals for top 5. And with isak gone you’ve still 200m headroom next summer.

Glorious.
🚨 EXCL: The Partners and Children have turned down this offer. Newcastle now move on to other targets. Aunties and Uncles have been mentioned. 👀 🔜

The window wash up pieces in September from @CraigHope_DM @ChrisDHWaugh @GeorgeCaulkin @LukeEdwardsTele are going to be absolutely bonkers when we learn what has gone on this window. Time for some hard questions for the club lads, project at an inflection point. #NUFC

Not getting excited yet on Sesko. This feels to me an agent play. Very much now “over to you Man U”. I expect them to bid now and increase their offer to Sesko. A bidding war is exactly what Leipzig and Sesko agent wants. #NUFC

With sesko going to United. That’s it on Isak. You simply cannot sell him. The PIF project is on a knife edge now. This summer will knock us back 2-3 years. #NUFC

This should worry #LFC fans…no way we sell Isak if we don’t have a top replacement. There isn’t anyone else available on the market that works for Newcastle. So selling Isak doesn’t work for Newcastle. I’d expect our resolve to stiffen if we don’t land Sesko. #NUFC
🚨🆕 Manchester United and Newcastle are currently in talks with Benjamin #Sesko‘s management. Both teams have presented their projects and financial offers. #MUFC The decision now lies mainly with the player and his camp. Offers are expected to be formally submitted to RB Leipzig following the verbal agreement. However, #NUFC pushing a lot. @SkySportDE 🇸🇮

Give the man what he wants. it’s 7.8m extra a year. Surely we can find a sponsorship that can cover that. We can’t say he’s a 150m player, then pay him like a 50m one. And give me a break about wage structure - he’s our best player - we need to start acting like a UCL club #NUFC
🇸🇪 Alexander Isak has set his wage demands at £300k a week for discussions over a new contract at Newcastle. @talkSPORT | #NUFC

The Liverpool / Newcastle discourse is pretty funny. The facts are…#NUFC have their first choice striker, Liverpool don’t. Only one winner here I can see.

If this ends with Isak signing a new deal, they’ve played a blinder
