Just did the stadium tour. Apparently the renovations in the concourses cost £9m in total. Also the rail seats were being installed when I was there.

The Highbury screamer passed away today.

Darlow, Fernandez, Ritchie, Manquillo, Murphy. Leaves squad of Pope, Dubravka, Gillespie Krafth, Trippier, Lascelles, Burn, Botman, Schar, Dummett, Targett, Lewis Shelvey, Bruno, Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff ASM, Wood, Wilson, Almiron, Fraser Leaves room for up to 3 signings and a tbc around Anderson who doesn’t count in the 25 anyway.

There’s no need for more than 60k really, 65k at an absolute maximum. If we can extend the Gallowgate then that’s more than sufficient.

Been saying this all summer. Get another 8k on to get us up to 60k and that would be more than sufficient.

Lee Marshall getting the boot then? Or moving to a different role?

"Matty's own personal situation … he will have his own thoughts,” said Howe. “Mine’s to try and keep him, but it's well documented that Matty has been a way from his family for a long period of time. He loves playing for Newcastle – and is very passionate about the club – but, I think, it’s unclear what direction we’ll take this year. But, from both sides, there’s a lot of respect."

Sounds like he’s off based on Howe’s comments today.

Craig No Hope

Harrison, Sesko and CHO on loan would be dreamy. Then next year we can hopefully focus recruitment on 2 or 3 big players only.

Deleting it makes it even more obvious that something is going on

Can just imagine the scrambling of the local journos now trying to be the first to confirm or deny this

Scored as well.

Hadn’t heard of Sesko 15 mins ago but now I’m convinced he’ll be our GOAT striker and nothing can convince me otherwise.

I’d keep him in the squad and let him come off the bench regularly for some minutes in the league, then give him the League cup game(s) to show he should be getting a start

Dummett was a planned change fwiw

Wood

Alexander Hack living up to his name there

5 changes. Pope, Targett, Shelvey, ASM, Wilson.

This time last year we were opening up with Woodman, Krafth, Fernandez, Clark, Ritchie as a back 5. Now it’s Pope, Trippier, Schar/Burn, Botman, Targett. Absolute night and day ain’t it

Confirmed as captain for the season.

Haven’t seen Draxler play for a while…is he still decent?
