I'm not sure 3 CB is the way to go against Arsenal. Their two wide players, Saka &SR, would tie back our wing backs to defence. That leaves 3 CB to handle Auba and gifts the midfield to Arsenal. Would rather jetison Clark and play Hayden. A back four means Manqullo and possibly Lewis should be start. Keeper change is a given. Sadly not Shay! Take your pick Willock or Almiron.

Just being pedantic but don't think you should count the war years when there was no FA Cup

...and central defenders ....and full backs

Of more concern is understanding where Howe's covid came from and hoping he hasn't passed it on

Just the SD signs left

I agreed, stop bumping this thread

They are next door neighbours in Portugal

On Smarkets (Exchange) nufc are slight favourites

It's not aimless and often has good shape. The problem is that this is his only attribute when we have the ball.

I think PIF will want one statement signing of the ilk of Coutinho but in terms of business progression we need to be targeting the stars of tomorrow once we are sure we have enough to avoid relegation.

In the eco spirit of re-cycling the signs should be remodeled as urinals so that fans can piss on SD whenever they want.

Four that don't really matter and PIF get the deciding vote

At least he appears to know what he's walking into

Not ethical you say. Requires a shed load of investment but will bring success in the long term. Sounds just like the new NUFC. Sign him on.

I'm guessing this is announced today so he can get going with the players. The formal press conference will follow later in the week when AS is in Newcastle with the new DoF!

Look at the eye contact from Howe and lack of it from Bruce. They both know who is the main man here.

I thought the trials were for a limited area of home fans

My first league match. Went to the Texaco Cup etc 1972-7 as my Dad wouldn't take me to big crowds

I was there too.

Just got my tickets, first game in four years

On the betting exchanges we are third favourites to be relegated behind Norwich and Watford with about 40pc chance of going down. Seems about right.

...and the manager

Even Steve Bruce wouldn't claim 19th as successful

He's going to bring some energy and organisation back to the club. I think he could keep the present squad up but expect us to make key additions in January. Whether he can have us challenging near the top anytime soon is a great unknown but I'm happy to watch him try.

no thanks
