@TheMightySteve@MsiDouglas The 4 arsenal players didn't arrive with the squad until last night so they were covering them. Picked 4 young players to give them experience.
@TyneSnapper@ClintScotswood@northumbriana Probably a few footballs ended up on the top floor with them due to the quality of strikers at nufc at that time... Pingel, Rob Macdonald, Tony Cuningham, Mavis O'Reilly etc etc
@rogstephenson@rossgregory9 Don't get this 'set us back years' narrative. For one thing, we were fighting relegation one year and then qualified for champs league the next. And for another, when takeover happened, many fans were happy if we managed champs league qual within 3 or 4 years.
@Ramma_____@SkySports_Keith Hi John. He was ready and waiting at 4pm. Once the clock went past 5pm it tipped from the singular hour, to hours. Thomas rang him at 5.55pm. He was very pleased.
@rossgregory9 I agree. Think lewis hall should have went. But then again, his form dropped quite dramatically after the Barca at home game. Spence is a good player, but think we're better with left backs with left feet. Anyway, I like the way tuchel picks his squads... time will tell
@rossgregory9 Haha. They're just ordinary men!
My feed is full of people saying it's 'wild' that x has been picked over y, or x hasn't been picked at all, or x had been picked. Only 25 spaces. Lots of people disappointed. No right answers.
@yourboykweezy@HoweWayTheLads Even if the comparisons are there, they're pretty neck and neck. Emery has better win %, but they've both qualified for champs league twice. Emery qualified for more euro competitions. Both won a cup, but howe won by far the harder cup. Not much to separate them really.
