Big Geordie

He didn't just do the hand in the air. He ran to the corner where the Blackburn fans were punching the air and shouting and screaming. He'd been out injured for yonks mind and had come on as sub and i'm 99% sure it was first time he'd played at SJP in a first team game for anyone. First appearance after his cruciate wasn't it? Was absolutely unaware anyone bore him any animosity over it personally (clearly). I was there that day, and that's correct Was no big deal.

Seems as if that 'Proper Mackem' kid is autistic.

That video - christ almighty!

That video. Remarkable.

By all accounts the lad is a grafter, but lacks creativity - which means he's Pardew's wet dream as well as probably Cabaye's replacement.

Just switched on. Classy from ITV again?!

I think the lad has to be given a chance - aye there's that photo which was ill advised at the time, but to write him off before he kicks a ball for us plays straight into Pardew's hands.

Who is this Lee?! Underwhelmed with McCormack, though I know Leeds supporters rate him. 25+ goals in a struggling team is pretty good. However, It speaks volumes for the ambition of the club - merely to keep us in the PL and hope that similar cheap signings can pull that off.

Both would demand big fees. Rules us out.

Doesn't wash with me anymore. Just more tittle-tattle to offer some 'hope' and try and arrest a drop in season ticket sales.

I'd like to see him go too.

Klaus - I can see us being so thin on the ground, that Ashley might have to. It's either that or expect half the youth team being promoted to the First Team squad.

Chron running the story this morning that Montpellier want more cash for Cabella and that we 'should be patient'. It's gonna be a similar summer, with us ending up making panic buys at the end of August and scrabbling around in the bargain basement.

Being linked with this kid - I say kid, he's coming up 29. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Soriano

Lack of professionalism from Remy and what's just as bad, is that Pardew went along with it. He won't get a good reception (you would hope) when he next plays against us, and aye - it's nailed on he will score. He's a twunt.

If it is a rebuild on the cheap, then it begs the question - where is all of the cash going? Perhaps he's planning his exit strategy and wants his loan back asap. Problem is, that might take another 2-3 years to pay off.

Sidwell - if there is any truth in that, we are fucked big time. Proof that Ashley is rebuilding on the cheap.

Jammy bastards Real!

Athletico score!

QPR - another side we 'won't be able to compete financially with', this summer.

Told you's!

QPR down to 10 - O'Neill sent off for professional foul.

I'm gonna call this now - QPR and Redknapp will get a spawny winner. Austin misses a good chance.

So long and thanks for the memories. Shola. I wish him well for the World Cup and the future.
