It looks like we are going over to the USA for pre season.

He had a right go at Henry quite early on as well iirc.

Yes. Although technically not allowed your best bet would be to renew and flog it someone for the season.

Been his nickname since he was at Bolton.

Never thought he would be involved against Wolves after that comment from Pardew and with him not being allowed to play at Villa. Hopefully he will play for the stiffs tomorrow but I doubt it. I'm quite sure we will at least try and buy him at a knock-down price.

Pardew added: “Stephen is on a pay-as-you-play basis because of the fact of his injury. We took a chance he would be back by now, but he is not.” http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/04/01/no-pressure-to-put-stephen-ireland-in-the-mix-72703-28441653/2/#ixzz1IYBeiXvR

It was said yesterday that he was returning to Newcastle today and will be at the training ground tomorrow.

'That's good feeling, we've got a few monkeys off our back and we go to Villa with our reserves, but in good heart'

Carroll was worse than shit in this apparently.

Some cracking saves from Cech there, looked like he got a touch on that free kick.

Must not bite.

Normally when he's got the ball at his feet, not a very good footballer. Good job the boy can defend. I thought he kept it nice and simple today and won every header - with a couple of important ones from crosses. Had a decent game, was pretty solid and nearly scored. Booted it out of play needlessly a few times mind. As long as he remembers to keep it simple he will continue to do well.

Anyone in Newcastle yesterday will fully understand those pictures.

No dress code.

His agent hadn't told him about the £££'s he'd earn at Liverpool then. He didn't have an agent at the time of the deal, represented himself. All very dodgy.

Charlton away, we lost 2-0. Was there, remember Duff having an awful time at LB. One of my worst experiences as a Newcastle fan, that match. His first start was against Charlton, we lost 3-1. He came off the bench at Chelsea in the FA Cup on the Wednesday before. Damien Duff played for Chelsea. and all off the top of his head. hey that charlton game was that when he gave the pen away and parker scored for us from about 30yds ?.....my last prem league away game. I was at both games, pulled a sicky to go to the Chelsea game. The Charlton game was utterly depressing having played pretty well at Chelsea and got nothing, cracking goal by Parker mind.

Give over, the only reason Adam is still at the club is because of a fuckup getting the paperwork signed. There was no valiant fight to reject Tottenhams offer. I gather from that, you disagree? Take it up with Redknapp: “we missed out by minutes... ...the chairman couldn't get hold of two shareholders who had to sign the forms as well. It's just one of those things." I think it's naive to suggest that Blackpool didn't put up a fight to keep him. Holloway, Jan 20th: "Charlie has signed a contract and someone can come in all they like, but it's not his choice and it's not their choice. He belongs to us and he is contracted for 18 months. "You have to behave with respect and not all players do that sometimes, but that is the way the game is. "I think he is still improving, I think he belongs to us and if someone wants to offer money, I think they are wasting their time because we don't need to sell him at the moment." Pardew, Jan 17th. “They can put together whatever they like. He is not for sale. I am going to say it for one last time, he is not for sale,”

Format.

That isn't from 1998.

No.

They're usually at the academy or the Univerisities.

Glad I have foreign commentary.

Who'd be the lass on Channel 1 in the glasses pitchside talk 100mph? Have no idea what this means. I'm on a few beers mind. 160 kph, very fast.
