Big Geordie

Can't quite believe that he has benched Ben Arfa. There must be a rabbit off somewhere - his 2nd half showing last week v Blackburn surely must earn him a place down the right?

Hazard? More Sky bullshit straight from Ashley's media man! He'll be sighted in a Greggs or B&M's next!

Scholes inevitably scores - 1-0.

Very high challenge on Murphy, according to 5Live.

Spurs 0 Wolves 1 Fletcher.

Bogdan saves from Rooney.

Pen to Man United - Knight fetches down Wellbeck.

Mackems 1-0 down - Lampard after Torres hits the bar.

Scholes getting away with 'one' again.

We've had Barton, still got Ranger and looked to get them out of the club which they caused too much grief. I'd rather not have some young knacker coming in with the big-time-charlie attitute - too much of a risk to our class team spirit.

SEMTEX Wraith is an attention seeker.

I'd imagine a ground share would be more likely if a new club started up.

I'd imagine Feethams would need massive work to get it up to standard - Darlington aren't exactly flush at the moment! Perhaps it might be an opportunity for a new club, but they will need the council on board for that too. Just seen a recent picture of Feethams and it's not even derelict now. Part of one stand remains, but the rest has been raized to the ground.

I'd take the lad back at some point, but not right now if it's going to eat up all of the transfer budget. Story is just probably that - another spurious one to fill column inches in a quiet start to the windo.

Rhodes' record this season is fantastic - perhaps worth a look and I'd imagine Clarky would rather do business with us, than anyone else.

Sad news if they do indeed go to the wall. I hope the club is 'reborn'. Definitely an opportunity there if the fans back it.

Aye - best of luck to the kid.

Redknapp needs reporting - it's bang out of line. With regards to the clause, it's a story that isn't going away and that's a worry. More-than-likely he will be away in the summer, unless we can thrash out a new deal.

Wrexham for me - a change to get some revenge for us and Blyth (1978)

Nice of ITV to not even show Ben Arfa's goal again or discuss it. Was as good as I remembered it though.

We'll be on last.

When he switched to the RW today, he ran with the pace of Kieron Dyer, but with the dribbiling skill of a Gazza/Messi (no over-exageration) It was a magnificent goal - simply stunning.

Just back in - we made hard work of it, but it was deserved none-the-less. Magnificent individual goal from Ben Arfa - goes past about 4-5 players. Seen no-one do that since Gazza (it really is that good)
