He could turn out to be the biggest cunt in the league and his value would still hold fairly firm. Young, proven, talented, English striker = north of £15m until he's 27.

Spot on.

It was outrageous like, probably one of the best ball I've seen a Newcastle player make in years. Remember watching Ben Arfa kill a pass like that stone dead under his boot a few years ago. Nearly came.

That's absolutely fuck all from Shelvey on Valencia. Nothing at all.

Teflon Pardew strikes again. What an utter cunt, man.

His link up play could be out of this world but he needs to start finishing some of the gilt-edged chances he's getting. Forget adjusting to the league, the language barrier and all that shit, he's either missing the target or hitting it straight at the keeper and it's got to stop. I like him, I think he'll get even better but he's got to score more.

Only got to play 3 of the current top 6 in the remaining fixtures too. Little things but it's looking brighter than it was a week or so ago.

Mildly encouraged by what I watched today. Shelvey is a bit of a game-changer is so much as he gives us something we've not seen for a couple of years, he could be the difference. I'm back down to a 4.

Kone has just asked for an extra £10k a week.

Soft German iirc.

Hope Jackie Chan kicks him into the path of a combine harvester.

I think Townsend is decent tbh. I'm not saying he'll come in and transform the team and score/create a load of goals but he's decent enough out there, not sure the £12m or whatever couldn't be better spent but he'd be another option and could mean moving Sissoko and/or Wijnaldum inside a bit or behind the striker. I'm happily admit I'm looking for positives because I'm getting thoroughly sick of hating the club and the players.

Very good money (if the £8m turns out to be anywhere near true) for a 30 year old, way past his best and contributing very little for a long period of time now. He was very, very effective for about a year but unfortunately couldn't (be arsed to?) sustain it. I'm sure him and his wives will love China.

Is it possible to get odds on the 3 teams to go down?

Giroud. Majestic.

Closing in on goal, had at least a few seconds to decide to take a chance and smash it at goal (jesus christ he's only 5 yards away ffs) and he decides he's not brave enough to have a go and waits for minimal contact before collapsing at the Gallowgate End in the hope the ref awards a penalty. That's absolutely fucking shameful, wrong foot or not, to lack the courage to even attempt a shot at goal, point fucking blank, is absolutely horrific stuff. Should be run out of fucking town, the cowardly little wanker.

Draw. At least 2 points are going to be dished out either way, a point each keeps things as they were. That said it's pretty moot if we don't start winning a few to get up and out of the shit.

Pigshit this lad. Weapon's-grade, 24 carat faeces. Gives you nothing, offers nothing to the team and never has done.

Depends what colour shirt you're wearing.

They've found another gear after we've revved the cunt out of it in 3rd.

He's fucking hideous. The spineless little cunt, fuck's sake.

This is where I'm at. I've seen him play really well for Swansea and if he find a bit of form then he'll look excellent for us. Also cautious about the fact the Swansea fans don't seem too bothered and it would appear we were pretty much the only club in for him. Half a Shelvey is better than twice a Colback.

Rooney brace. We're his favourite opposition
