PL: Newcastle United v Arsenal | Sunday, May 2 | KO: 14:00 BST | Sky Sports

Why can't Martinelli or Balogun start up front. Why does it have to be Nketiah? Does Nelson just train now and never play? Why is he being treated like this?

Seems like Mikel is big on hierarchy.

Where have the tricks from big clubs gone for loanies by the way ?

Remember those often not being able to feature against their club, but havent seen that in effect for the last years anywhere I can remember ?
Scratched ?

Will be watching as there is no Alan Smith. He's already done two games this weekend.

Big L incoming pleaseeeeeeee

This is how far we've fallen. Didn't Ramsey get something like 17 one season.

Also note, your attack has never been as good as it could be due to our **** midfield.

I was screaming about atracking midfielders being the main need for the entire transfer window in the summer but also got a bit tricked eventually that an enforcer like Partey could help enough with it as many said so - so wrong, we need 2 creative attacking minded midfielders imo.

My dream: Grealish & Buendia , but given the state of our club, it's going to be pretty pretty poor man's versions of them, we are going to end up with.

I'm guessing Willock isn't eligible to play for them, right? If so we might actually have a chance of winning this.

He's so f*cking weird Can't lie i'm jealous of you boys, wish we had him here.

James Benge has smuggled himself on the team bus.

I am not going to bother watching the idiot... I will sleep. Gonna be epic when Willock scores.

Absolutely no reason not to play Azeez, Balogun, Martinelli and Nelson today. Fully expecting a Elneny/Ceballos pivot though. Willian will probably get a run out as well.

Azeez isn't ready. He would probably give a goal away. He should have been eased into the Europa league group stages but we all know how that went. I thought Cottrel also impressed in pre season and probably should have got more minutes considering he looked capable of playing wing back. He may have been able to cover for left back. Who knows. We spend most of our time not learning about our players till it is too late.

He not available because he on loan from Arsenal.

Not only will it be epic but also impossible, as he is not eligible for today’s game.

Pointless having him in the squad then if he's not ready. Like I say no reason for him not to be involved today as this is near enough a pre-season game anyway.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Only expecting Martinelli start from beginning i hope Bolagun too but he'll probably go with Eddie

 

[Riou]

If Balogun doesn't play today, then why the hell did the club convince him to sign a new deal
