Seriously? I was feeling it was a 50% chance we'd sign at least someone, 50% chance we'd sign fucking no-one

Maybe if we continue this form we could modify "We built this city on rock and roll" to "We pissed this division with half a squad."

SSN trying to push this as the most exciting transfer deadline day ever. "It's all happening!" No it isn't fuck all is happening. "There have been no bids for David James" How exciting.

Eduardo given a two game ban.

Nicknamed Homer by teammates isn't he? As in Simpson, ie big and thick.

This board and internet football chatter in general has a long and varied history of people claiming to know what's happening behind the scenes and in the vast majority of cases it turns out to be placing far too much faith in chinese whispers leading back to someone vaguely associated with the club, which is why anyone posting Da Vinci Code shit hinting at what's happening will be met with a hostile response from at least a portion of posters, especially when everyone's nerves are so frayed.

David Craig on SSN now. Talking about mackem's exits at the mo though.

OK. I'll post this smilie And we'll see which one of us is In The Know.

What a torrent of shite on that blog feed Shola having a medical at Cardiff, we're not getting anyone but Lovenkrands, Beckford wants to come but Leeds want £5m, we're getting Bale, we're getting Vela, Bale's gone to Birmingham...

Anyone really think anyone at the club is closing in on targets or finalisings deals? I don't reckon anyone's doing much more than nursing a bank holiday hangover and playing Pro Evo in their underpants.

Can just imagine that background to that statement. *bring bring* GS: Hi, Mr Llambias? Geoff Sheard. I was wondering if we could finalise the details of the bid we tabled at the end of our meeting. (Llambias rolls his eyes and bobs his head side to side, making a "blah blah blah" gesture with his hand. Ashley giggles.) GS: Good to see the team get a good start to the season, they can go two points clear at the top if they win tonight, can't they? DL: Uh-huh, I... Wait, what? (Llambias grabs his copy of Shoot! magazine off the table and flicks to the championship table. Ashley bats the magazine up into his face, Llambias gives him a dead arm) MA: Ayazz! That was my TB! GS: Mr Llambias, we think the bid we tabled was quite resonable and... DL: What bid? GS: The bid we made at the meeting. DL: No-one told me anything about a meeting. GS: You were there. DL: You were there. GS: That's right, I was. DL: That's right, I was. GS: Mr Llambias, this is childish. DL: Mr Llambias, this is childish. GS: Listen, I was under the impression we were close to reaching a deal. DL: Ah, you have to provide proof of funds. GS: I gave you a letter from the head of Omnicrom's bank. You said that was adequate proof. DL: And what day was this? GS: Thursday. DL: Wrong! It was opposites day, so I actually meant that wasn't adequate proof. MA: Ask him if his refrigerator's running. *click* (Llambias texts you're on Sky Sports saying there's been no meeting and no proof of funds provided)

Please apply for position via email.

Few injuries and a stomach bug going round and we'll end up unable to field a squad.

How the fuck are we in a position to loan players out? You loan players when they're surplus to current requirements so they can get some experience and lighten the wagebill while they're not needed. If we're gonna get rid of him at least fucking sell him, it might leave us with a shit squad but you can see how we'd be forced into it if there was a decentish offer and could try and use the fee to get a replacement.

You forgot about the reverse vampires.

My concern would be that in the current climate there's no such thing as a definite return on anything. I'm not even too sure I trust Prudential to invest my pension stuff without things going horribly wrong, so they'd have to do a lot to convince me it'd be in good hands.

The more I think about this... Fucking hell it's heart wrenching enough to watch Newcastle plummet anyway, imagine if it had the added bonus of "Fucking hell, there goes my pension money." On the plus side, it would be one of the few pension pots not to be effected by the pensions crisis, seeing as none of us would get past 60 before an inevitable heart attack.

No chance, think it's doomed to failure and I'd end up living my final years in poverty.

nufcblog's take on it

Nope, after four seasons of doing it I now always try and use my wildcard in the first month. You quickly see who the big point scorers will be and you can get them all on board early and watch them rocket in value. The later you play your wildcard, the less games you get the benefit of it. Usually at one point later in the season I'll make a whole load of changes again and just take the points hit, but the points you get from your early wildcard play make up for it.

You get 2 free transfers per week. Any more and I think they dock 2 points off per transfer. You get one free transfer a week, but they roll over if you don't use them this season. Just used my wildcard. Any glaring errors or better options anyone wants to suggest before the 11:30 deadline? http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/8076/capturet.jpg

James heel!

His followers have gone up from 9 to 17 in the last 30 minutes

Yeah, twat him or whatever it is.

Quite the opposite of the deluded lot the media portray us as, supporting the toon makes you incredibly pessemistic. Even if we get taken over by rich yanks I'd be wary of celebrating because of the sneaking feeling it'd come back and hit me in the face, like when Ashley took over, like when we signed Owen, like when we were 12 points clearat the top of the league. When Newcastle score with Lady Luck you just know she's going to whip out a cock.
