Why Jordan Henderson is '100 per cent' in line for England's World Cup squad Henderson's inclusion may be controversial but those who have seen him behind the scenes at Brentford think Thomas Tuchel could be onto something

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 So what's the real reason Jordan Henderson keeps getting in the England squad?

I spoke to people who have worked with him to find out.

⚪️ Training ground 'unseens' revealed
⚪️ 'He even manages the referees'
⚪️ 'Always last in the gym'

I'm yet to find a single (real) person that wants AI music, film or art. And I find the commercially available programmes overrated. I used ChatGPT to check a stat the other day (something about average attendances) and it was next to useless....

It's like Where's Wally... but there's five of them

Newcastle's 'Mr Undroppable' is the best signing of the PIF era At £30m, Malick Thiaw has turned out to be an absolute bargain

🚨 Malick Thiaw is a Rolls Royce driving one of the best defences in the @premierleague.

⚪️ £30m 'snip' after two years of scouting 💷
⚫️ 'Impressed from day one'
⚪️ Botman wants a new deal - partnership is 'future' of #nufc 🤝

Ha ha, stats not my strong suit obviously 😂 It's a good record anyway

5 in 7 in the league, 6 in 8 across all comps.

Well that felt a lot more like the Newcastle we all recognise from the last two years (second half anyway).

Bruno Guimaraes was outstanding but lets talk about the defence. 7 clean sheets (8 across all comps) in the league. Love the look of Thiaw as well. Foundations sound #nufc

Really kind Jeff! Loads of work went into it because I wanted to get an idea of whether it's going to work. The move into data has to work, basically

Thanks Jonny! Totally agree - they're basically into a space they had no presence in a few years ago.

My understanding- from a good source - is Sporting Director soon. Training ground announcement in 3-6 months. Stadium next year sometime. But we know with PIF it can sometimes take longer!

Thanks John! I totally agree and what's interesting here is this transition to data and appointing someone who can do it with Howe's approval. Bodes well
