@PercyMainAFC There’s a James Leggett in there!

@Lord_Sugar It’s a shame that the teams always produce poor results. Imagine both teams produced a good product, or money to make your decision difficult. It’s like watching two relegation threatened teams rather than a Real Madrid vs Barca of the ‘brightest business minds we have to offer.’

[Rob Watson @RobHFR]

@RadioTimes Rubbish results, and judging by the preview, it doesn’t get better. For years, Sugar has chosen which team wins in tasks where both teams have produced awful products or low amounts. I can’t remember a task where both teams have excelled and he’s had a difficult choice to make.

@NUFCDeenJam He’s been great second half.

@ChrisDHWaugh @ToonPolls If they changed it back this weekend for the city game, they’d get an even bigger reaction from the fans than what they normally would for a ‘big game’.

Every single year a select few morons cannot understand simple instructions regarding the mins silence and ruin the whole thing. Next year should have the period of silence first closed out by The Last Post. #nufc

@Magpie24_7 I think the formation killed him. There was no supply because of it, aside from the one time Ramsey went down the left and crossed. It resulted in him dropping deep, receiving the ball and passing back into midfield, or running the wings. 433 could’ve been a different story.

[Rob Watson @RobHFR]

@Magpie24_7 433 destroys Leeds and we have the players to do it. Have we tried to be too clever with a formation that works against a team that doesn’t play out from the back?

@geordiejosh @CamNufc20 Wrong

Welcome to NUFC Nick Woltemade! #NUFC

@CraigHope_DM A striker in Isak who wouldn’t have pressed the ball like Gordon has to win the ball back high up the pitch?

[Rob Watson @RobHFR]

@NFFCJRM My friend says incorrect. 42m will have been depreciated to around £18m (3 years into 5 year contract). 60m*90% =54m, minus £18m = 36m profit. Nerd that he is.

[Wembley Stadium @wembleystadium]

@CarlisleCityFC Save Jamo lad!

[Rob Watson @RobHFR]

@PodontheTyne How are these long throws not being pulled up as foul throws? He literally jumps on the pitch!

[Rob Watson @RobHFR]

@The_Looney_Toon No idea why he switched to 442 after 15 minutes going so well. Gordon went central with Isak and we didn’t get a kick. Corrected it second half but why the change?

[Rob Watson @RobHFR]

@ToonMouthTyne Changed to 442 and completely fell off the pace. Don’t understand the reasoning for it.

[Rob Watson @RobHFR]

@ToonMouthTyne Why on earth did we switch to 442?

[Newcastle United @NUFC]

IT'S TWO! 😄

[Rob Watson @RobHFR]

@footballontnt Same as giving a freekick to a defender when a striker slides to stop a clearance which gets cleared and they clip the follow through. Bet we all give loads of those.
