Boro are advertising their game with Fulham as Alves' debut on their website. I'd be stunned if he plays. Tuncay definitely out, which is a good thing.

Probably be Aliadiere and Tuncay if they're both fit. Hopefully they won't be. Both limped off midweek, both doubtful for sunday I know. Downing too. If those three and Alves are all out, we'll roll them over. Here's hoping.

The commonly held consensus on Teesside is that Woodgate has had a very public falling out with one of his teammates following a sour end to a relationship with said teammate's sister, resulting in him losing focus and wanting a fresh start, which we couldn't offer him, still too close to home. How true that is I don't know.

Lights to make the grass grow. And credit to whoever came up with the idea. We've gone from having a pitch needing pulled up and replaced three times a season to a near perfect surface all the way through.

who do boro play in central midfield? rochemback and arca isnt it? hardly the most physical pair and neither spend a lot of time going on surging runs upfield. i think we can do without a defensive midfielder for this one so i agree. boateng,cattermole not been playing ? No, Cattermole is shite and Boateng out of favour with Arca the new captain. It will be him and Rochemback, with O'Neil and Downing (if fit) wide.

We should play Barton and Emre on Sunday imo. Let's murder the twats.

The timing was as close to spot on as it could be tbh.

What a shit fortnight. I'm off to bed.

I hate the window at the best of times. Full of mongs posting/printing/talking shite and even bigger mongs taking the first bit of notice of any of it. We've made our bed and now we've got to lie in it. Do these arseholes on Sunday and everything will be right with the world again. Losing doesn't even bear thinking about.

No need for sarcasm, you miserable bugger.

If Smith plays, it's a nailed on cert.

They're playing us on Sunday mate.

http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,1852019,00.html Alves's record is far better in a worse side tbf. I could point you towards a Ronaldo, Ruud or Romario article too if you like. God I really hope he's shit, or doesn't play on Sunday, I couldn't give two fucks after that. You could do yes, but then those three didn't have Lee Cattermole supplying the bullets He doesn't play though. I think if you believe Boro don't create chances, you might be in for a shock Sunday, genuinely. I'm praying Tuncay and Downing don't play. This is NUFC so it's nailed on that they will.

keeping viewing figures up thats all But why Newcastle? They've reeled off a number of Premier League clubs as being 'out of it'. Why mess us about again? If David Craig's on, what the fuck else would he talk about? I've never once seen him report on any other club.

Hmm. So did Ruud. I'm not convinced, I can see him scoring on Sunday for a start if he plays.

Chimbonda would be a piss poor signing tbh.

What the fuck does Alan from Leeds know? Dunno, but I know he's shit at football. EDIT: damn! Too slow!

KK hanging on the Senegal result before selling. "They're out! THEY'RE OUT! TERRY! FLOG HIM!"

Thank fuck. COME ON WHOEVER THE HELL NIGERIA ARE PLAYING NEXT!

I'd love to see him outside SJP in this wind. Bottling tart.

Translation: "Newcastle fans, please don't turn off the telly! You're our main audience! Please! Come back..."
