Not often I can revel in being a stepping stone club, but in this case I'm chuffed and enormously proud to see one of our players get a shot at a big club like Gala.

Thought he came across pretty well to be fair. Seems he'll be off again in the summer, one way or another.

Kicks in @ 8m 5s

...or a compo for Hendersons shirt.

Can't help but feel a little disappointed if true. They were by a fair touch the less detestable of the two.

Eh, bit dubious. He didn't have anything to do with the club did he? He was a Darlington player when selected for the Newcastle and District team, and that was a competely seperate club to the West End and East End sides that combined to form Newcastle United.

Be nice to see him stay on if he fancies a coaches salary and he's as good behind the scenes as those in the know suggest. If not, despite being an obscene waste of money for the club, good luck to the lad. Shite player, but a decent appetite for the fight.

Their transfer section says £5.7m rising to £7m so its not really inflating spending to say that he's a £7m man which he would have been if not shit That is no where near the transfer paid. We've only paid 2.7m for him.

What idiot said that?

It sticks in the throat to call Andy a 'class act', but for me he is still a beast of a player who would equally do well anywhere.

According to their Forum - Played well until until the end of August when he had effectively tied up the transfer, then he was an indifferent insufferable cunt for the rest of the season, playing dreadfully, almost costing them promotion, until he was ultimately dropped from the team. Signed off fairly well with a couple of good performances, but only had a total of two decent months this season. Most would not be surprised to see him struggle and be loaned back. If he does work out though, he may be a decent option in an area Pardew highlighted as a problem - free kicks/corners.

OUTSTANDING!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18165334 BBC are almost as bad as clubcall these days. Chowdrey just took the stories last night and at 8 this morning sticks it up under a definitive headline. Useless tosser.

He's so two-faced in the media. Sure he said last week we should be looking to finish 5th or higher again next season (something along those lines anyway, sure CL was mentioned). Gimme the quotes.

To "quote" Pardew, 'The chances of Foster getting an England callup at Celtic are fucking zero. You can't prove owt playing Scottish football, you'd be better falling off the face of the world in any International bosses eyes'.

Good to see. Proper old school player who cares not about the money, but the challenge.

Top tip! 25-1 to be the next West Ham manager. Hope we get decent compensation.

Ner.

Cabaye speaks good English. Doubt it would be hard for him to learn 'son of a whore'. Can't imagine Cahill losing his shit or Cabaye feeling moved to formally apologise over 'son of a whore' to be fair.

Aye, it'd be typical of him to carry on what he's already been doing. alienating young Fans. I watched the Man city manu games, and had us on radio/ stream. on sunday at my Parents. My nephew was there and he is well into football/ the toon. i was explaining to him what pardew had said in the Phone in about selling players if big clubs come in. He basically said ' I hate this supporting Newcastle.' thats the future for the club. Future? Unless you're Real Madrid, It's pretty much always been that way; if anything it's slightly less so now we are in Europe. Gotta love the fact that we currently have a good number of players I'd actually be afraid of losing.
