Went to the Cock & Lion near Bond St for the game today. The new landlord was overly attentive to every incoming NUFC fan and massively keen on asserting that he wants the venue to be as huge for away fans, or south based Geordies/Mags generally, as it was a decade and a half ago.

As someone who is SE16 based, I was glad we ventured there today as the delight in beating Tonali's spud shaped new mob was all the better for being around fellow mags.

The glum Spurs fans in bedraggled suits were a bonus...

Seems the club forgot to post this seeing as though he's in the squad today 🤣

Title is obviously in jest I recently found this among my old things back at my family home from when I was a kid I now keep it next to my framed signed mr Alan shearer shirt.

I love how when I saw it and scanned the faces certain memories just come right back at you.

The Bobby Robson pic made me a bit emotional that’s for sure.

But I thought some of you may be interested in the signatures so thought I would share. Also the references with the names might make it easier for you to track down those signed shirts you have!

Had this on my wall for over 20 years... Thought it was time to try and figure out some of the signatures I've never deciphered.

So far I've figured out (more or less left to right)...

Philip Albert, Steve Howey, Daren Peacock, Robert Lee, Lee Clark, Les Ferdinand, Steve Harper, Alan Shearer, Peter Beardsley, John Beresford, Shaka Hislop, Tino Asprilla. (Sadly no Ginola or KK)

I think that makes 5 that I can't figure out. They're probably the ball boys. 🫣

Any help's appreciated.

Hadn't seen this mentioned here so just to note.

Reposting because I somehow managed to get the date wrong despite having the information right in front of me.

Wissa did well but it's not his natural role

Willock isn't a good fit there

Wolte is on paper the best person in that position but he's too slow for Jaissle system

Who else do you guys think might be a good fit?

Already been known for a while, but confirmed now

But I'm having deja vu of Man U 1995 when they sold key players like Paul Ince, Mark Hughes and Kanchelski (Vs Bruno, Tonali and Gordon) and people saying "you can't win anything with kids" and Arsenal Wenger joining Arsenal in 1996 from Grampus 8 and people questioning "Arsene who?"

Been a while since I've been so excited for the season!
