Big Geordie

I remember him from Spain 82 - terrific player.

Nope - applies only to goalkeepers when the window is closed. We can however (I think) sign free-agents.

Bloody hell - Taylor has been one of the success stories of the season.

Disappointing today - scoreline was unjust. Also as poor a refereeing performance that I've seen in many years - Mike Dean was just awful. How could he fail to send off Luiz when it was so blatant? Really worrying about the injuries at centre-back. This is what can happen when you have no cover and for that, serious questions need to be asked (again) I also agree that the Ryan Taylor at DL experiment now has to end.

Friend of mine at work was talking to me this morning about when he met Gary Speed. Ambrose is from the same village in Nigeria (and is mates with) as Jay Jay Ockocha and after taking in a Bolton game, JJ arranged for him to meet Speed. Ambrose said he was a totally spot on bloke and spent a good while talking to him about football. Needless to say, he is devastated at the moment and is in as much shock as the rest of us. Just thought it worth sharing.

The Swansea v Villa game may well be called off, due to some Welsh players being in the Swansea side.

Suicide? That's just so wrong. What a terrific man and servant to Newcastle United he was. An instrumental player in our revival with Sir Bobby in charge. I'm genuinely shocked.

Jesus H.

Care to explain why it is 'nailed on'? Been rumoured for a while and they will doubtlessly be looking to refresh parts of their ageing squad.

Tiote to Chelsea - nailed on to happen. Question is, how much? Ashley will have seen how well Guthrie has done and will now doubtlessly be rubbing his hands. Keep on selling your best players isn't a good thing at all.

Some whinging Manc on 606 now.

Terrific point - well done lads. Real quality defending - MoM Steven Taylor or Krul. Did I also hear a few boos there?

They score - but Hernandez disallowed for offside!

Ba - great work.

4mins. Where the hell has that come from?! Taylor blocks from Ashley Young! Somehow, we are hanging on. Feck knows how!

How much Fergie time today then lads?

Lovenkrands - what is Pardew playing at today? Lovenkrands just doesn't work hard enough.

Jonas off - 2nd yellow. Bloody stupid.

Young misses a sitter?

Mancs chucking stuff on the pitch.

Ba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never a pen according to Mick and Ando, but we'll take it.

Pen! Ben Arfa fouled!

Not to be our day today then. A routine trip to OT.
