SNN's take http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/8452020/

Harry Redknapp has compared the current transfer window to "gang warfare" as he continues to chase new signings. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/8447947/

Good work from Toon loanee Conor Newton for St Mirren's shock early goal against Celtic in the Scottish League Cup semi.

Can't say I really know either. In the event of a backpass though, the keeper doesn't just turn into another defender who can't use his hands though, does he? Cos otherwise it'd be a penalty (and probably a sending off for deliberately picking up the ball) every time there's a backpass rather than an indirect free kick,

"Massively overrated with a bad attitude who will trigger nuclear implosion of the entire club" Unless he doesn't sign, when he'll become what would have been a great signing for us.

At a guess Ashley's grown a brain cell and decided he doesn't want us to go down again.

Said before far too stupid to not say something on twitter that will get him in contempt of court., imagine that's just the start. Does this give him more arrests than goals now?

Newcastle United have abandoned the idea of signing Saint-Etienne striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this month, according tobeINSport.The Magpies have been raiding French football as they bid to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.Mathieu Debuchy, Massaido Haidara, Moussa Sissoko, Yoan Gouffran and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa have all landed at St. James’ Park, bidding farewell to Ligue 1.And Saint-Etienne striker Aubameyang was also on the Magpies’ hit list. http://www.insidefutbol.com/2013/01/26/newcastle-united-abandon-pierre-emerick-aubameyang-interest-as-winter-raid-on-france-ends/77946/#KkaAEbAyTLoC01Tr.99

By the way, has anyone suggested we just cancel his contract?

Need all the new lads to hit the ground running and immediately get us out of the shit before it's too late. No pressure

Every time I see his twitter profile his description saying he is 'da realist' pisses me off. Or maybe it's not a spelling mistake and he's just come to terms with the fact he doesn't have the skill or aptitude to be a footballer and is just going to take what he can get from his contract before he ends up in prison again, who knows.

This sounds like far too cunning a ruse for one of Nile's mates, are we meant to believe they took his phone and did this rather than posting "im a batty bumbaclart brrap lol"

How come people who bang on about the bible all the time have less clue what's in it than a heathen like me?

It's OK, they can spin that as well! http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=757080

Going to be like Jimmy vs Timmy this one.

Getting shit from these cocky wankers on Facebook again, although I certainly dished it out last season

Don't understand what his problem was, he acted like we'd been giving him shit all game.

This might get lost in the shit storm of how rubbish we are, but what was with Readings celebrations? He acted like we'd been giving him shit all game, cupping his ears to the crowd, sliding on his knees to the corner etc

OK, there's one, where are the other two going to come from?

Last time we went down it meant we got rid of a load of shit like Owen, Viduka, Martins and Duff. The sellable assets we have now aren't ones that would make us better off if they left and were replaced.

If Pardew hadn't chucked our lead away, we'd be on 24 points, 8 ahead of Reading and 4 ahead of Wigan. As it is, we're only 2 ahead of both of them and could end up second bottom after the next match.

Disaster. Unmitigated disaster instigated by the arrogance and incompetence of one man. He's got to go, tomorrow morning preferably, if we're to have any chance to stay up.

Photographer mate in the ground says pitch soggy but no snow and has 'lovely blue line markings'

Don't even bother trying to ring my phone on 0774 42442, and if I don't answer because I'm in the bath or something don't try ringing Mike or Derek on 0208...
