we thought the club would splash its way to the top and there wouldn't be boardroom drama and it wouldn't be interesting and we didn't want to be foreign glory hunters hahahaha ahem peeking back in

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

Sometimes we're still Newcastle.

@ARTG44 If only it weren't floating on tainted money. But the fans and the city have deserved better for a long, long time and as an outsider I can't begrudge them. Football-wise, it is truly scintillating.

Most of what's happening with #NUFC didn't require a half-trillion dollars, just a brain

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

#NUFC nearing a PL record for most giveaways in a 4-minute stoppage

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

Familiarly brutal stoppage time

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

You can hear SJP holding its breath

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

What a shift at work from Fraser. He is being transformed

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

Calling Bruno G., calling Bruno G. Please report to the nearest managerial kiosk

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

The back two-thirds just hasn't been stout today against these Brighton runs. Love the ASM sub but need an adjustment behind

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

Instead of bus parking until the inevitable equalizer, we'll put in ASM and go for the jugular. This is like a dream

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

I was just composing a tweet saying we need a change here. Too late

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

Murphy. Fraser. Joelinton. Willock. We all thought we'd just buy a new club. Who knew the biggest difference would be with the players we already had?

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

Agree. Nice to know what we're switching from at least

[Brian Rake @Rake_]

@NUFC_US I was just thinking I wouldn’t mind dropping into a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1. Don’t think our midfield is matching them which is being reflected in the defense pressure.

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

This club is so composed you can even tell what formation they're in

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

#NUFC haven't had the run of play so far, but it beats hanging on by fingernails until Ben Arfa or Cisse can create a moment of magic

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

Yet another perfect setpiece. I don't even know this club anymore

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

First we learned "defending." Now we've moved on to "counterattack."

[Wish I Was A Geordie @NUFC_US]

The stand-and-watch defending on that corner was a throwback and not to the good ol' days.
