Kevin Keegan Part 2 on @ItWasPod this week

Featuring an @alanshearer ball boy story and @jonawils unique (completely unbiased) take on Keegan’s helicopter departure from #NUFC

An extraordinary man - I hope we’ve done him justice

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

@DazzerQPR @BushmanQPR Thank you! Thought I was going mad. I was like ‘that can’t be Gary Waddock as the timeline makes no sense? But it surely *is* Gary Waddock?’

[Andy Green @andersred]

Important thread on United's ridiculous ticket sanctions efforts and what @MU_ST have been doing about it.

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

@BooreAlun It was never the same again after that ☹️

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

I have an amazing memoir to pitch in which I manage QPR to a Champions League win before overseeing England’s World Cup victory

Please DM me, Alexandra

Very excited to get going on this

[Matthew Sweet @DrMatthewSweet]

Alexandra Pringle on @BBCr4today saying that publishers have no responsibility to question the facts of a memoir. “It’s not a piece of journalism, it isn’t the New York Times”.

[Jonathan Wilson @jonawils]

Massive breakthrough for Infantino who has had a couple of very good days

If I was @uefa + clutching at straws I would point out to that phrase ‘at this time’

‘At this time SAFF supports the efforts of Infantino to restore unity’

I guess at another time - say, March - they might not?

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

Infantino has the official backing of Saudi Arabia

That’s two of the biggest financial forces in football (and the world!) - Qatar and Saudi Arabia - in his corner

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

@timrich001 @ItWasPod @jonawils Ha! Very much of that calibre!

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

Welcome to the @ItWasPod Book Club for Patreon subscribers

No.1 edition HAD to be *Inverting the Pyramid* by our own @jonawils

A groundbreaking book that utterly changed how we view football tactics

Why did Brits sneer at tactics? (whilst secretly being good at them)

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

@Ben2012_London 💯 can’t deny that

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

Yeah never risk the mean streets of Northwood where I grew up

It’s a real jungle out there 🙄

Seriously 15m view for literally making up nonsense

Have you even ever been to these places?!

[Saul Sadka @Saul_Sadka]

This is the London Banana. As long as you stay within the Banana, you'll have a great time in London. Almost everything outside the Banana is horrible these days, best avoid. Not clear why, or when this happened. But it is what it is.

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

@timinenfield It’s properly mad this. Shouldn’t get triggered (Proverbs 26 v4-5)

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

Coming soon @KuperSimon Football Against The Enemy

Ronald Reng’s A Life Too Short

And many more in negotiations!

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

@Saul_Sadka But why did you even post it? Just for clicks? It’s properly mad if you know London

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

@Saul_Sadka It’s almost like the whole premise is BS and you haven’t actually done the work on this?

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

@Braudrillard I prefer not to speak

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

There is a football club close to the route of Notting Hill Carnival and it’s definitely not Chelsea…

@Daniel_Sugarman You know that bit in McNae’s where he cautions that an apology can actually make things worse? I think we have a contender…

[Rob Draper @draper_rob]

This was a joy to put together for my boyhood hero

Coming on back of @NUFC wonderful tribute, it seems appropriate

Before he was a Newcastle legend, Kevin Keegan was Shankly’s greatest ever find, a #LFC icon
