A Mackem's been nicked in the stadium already

Sunderland can't win by any decent margin man, if they put three past us they'll all be New Monkey dancing on the pitch till the game's abandoned.

Like listening to someone in an abusive relationship, isn't it. "You won't be laughing when he proposes to me and buys me a ring" "My dad is too coming back and he's gonna take me to Disneyland!" Followed by "I didn't want to go to Disneyland anyway, and he's saving the money so we can buy a house together, you'll see!" It'll be "He's being sensible, not letting us be held to ransom, stopping us from doing a Leeds like we would have done under Freddie, we need him" Then if by some miracle we suddenly spend this "loads of money" it won't be "Oh no, he's going to bankrupt us" it'll be "Look! Look! He spent some money, isn't he so great and handsome."

Mysteriously enough, the Irish Garda lost the folder of evidence shortly after he failed the roadside test if I recall.

Unforgivable going into this game with no left-back and having to play Ryan Fucking Taylor there when we've all known Jose was on his way this window for... How many months?

What Caulkin refers to as "the marginalising of senior players".

Give him a go anyway. Then Harper up front and we're sorted. Better than doing something stupid like playing Perch.

It's OK, St Niall can drink-drive them home to their parents before midnight.

You keep your score no matter when you join the league.

Have the mackems not learned a lesson about over-confidence after the way they went on before the 5-1? Apparently not.

You can drag them around to change the order.

Sent one ticket to my dad and the rest to me

Do we hope he picks up some injuries and suspensions so we might keep him?

Yellow cards are an occupational hazard of being that kind of player.

All I can remember about Nicky Maynard is THAT goal against QPR.

Because we've shown we're willing to sell crucial players without replacement, that our transfer policy revolves around resale value, he's quadrupled in value since we bought him, Man United need a defensive midfielder and possibly the only thing which has prevented him going to their rivals is a dislike of London, we've sold our best players around him and stranded him in Ghana in a staggering display of incompetence... Even if it's a rumour that's been pulled out of someone's ass, it's not hard to see why it pushes the right buttons.

There are clubs out there owned by sovereign states, we can't compete with that (Ignoring the fact we didn't sell him to Man City, nor does anyone expect us to compete with them)

All I can see happening is we go looking for players with a desperate hole in our midfield and a big bag of Carroll/Tiote money and people aren't willing to sell to us for below market value, the board won't buy unless they think they're getting a good deal and we can add defensive midfielder to striker and left back on the Newcastle understaffed bingo card. A monster fee could be bad for the club in footballing terms.

Might turn out we've been very unlucky, if he wasn't quite as good we'd have more of a chance of having him actually play football for us than being a financial asset, In a similar manner, Ben Arfa's injury record might be a blessing in disguise because we might actually get some games out of him. If he'd been fit since he got here it's perfectly possible he might not be here at all. Welcome to the upside down world of supporting Mike Ashley's Newcastle United.

14m, 40m, means nothing to the fans if its not spent on the team. Hope we can hold on to him until January. Be interesting to see the excuse machine if he does go, wasn't one of the reasons the Carroll money vanished because it was supposedly to pay for new deals for Enrique and Tiote?

Rather concerned I'm missing out on lower league players, there's only one player in my outfield starting line up that's not from Man U, Arsenal, City, Liverpool or Spurs.

It says any transfers you've made will be refunded, I've been tinkering with my team and clicking ok to spending 30 points like it ain't no thing.

Made 24 points worth of transfers, was quite unnerving even though they say I'll get the points back Shola captain

Yeah. Looks like it'll still say it costs you until midnight tonight but it'll be refunded.
