Love this guy. Goodnight sweet prince.

They reckon he's a right weirdo. We will have some 'characters' in the squad if nowt else then..The Chancellor, Mitrovic , Thauvin and the wee scamp Colback. Ah, 'Scampi Jack'. I like.

Hate to say it, but everyone other than other Newcastle fans who I've heard speak about Thauvin (Marseille fans, Ligue 1 watchers and just other neutrals) have echoed these guys' thoughts about him. I've seen him a few times for Marseille and havent been particularly impressed. Especially for €17m. I'm only up to 7:30 on the podcast, I assume they don't suddenly change their thoughts though No. Final question to the three of them. Will he be a success at Newcastle? No. No. No. Aceballs.

Can get a good handle on how to pronounce Thauvin from the below vid.

What's changed? He's here for his medical. Hope that's true. Even if the guy's gone off the boil recently (and no small anguish at Cabella going the other way), this still seems a pretty exciting signing.

What's changed?

Fucking idiot Janmaat. Fucking idiot McClaren. Fuck off.

Oh my. It's going to kill my Sunday, but just know'll end up watching.

Christ Krul. Come on, wake up you fuckers!

Stupid, but it makes me remarkably angry that these are what we'll be passing down as representations of our greats. Actually offensive.

It's marginally better than the Robson statue, but still think Tom Maley is stealing a fucking living as an artist. All about opinions of course, but everything he does just lacks any gravitas and instead come across as hopelessly cartoonish to me. Far, far, far prefer Milburns statue to the latest efforts to build lasting tributes (including that godawful plaque).

We certainly need a prune.

/Oh shit, vid.... hold on.....

Nah. ['Beresford clearly a cut above' Video removed]

Things I learned. 1. Sissoko can't tie ties. 2. Our new motto. http://i.imgur.com/V6Po2o2.jpg

It remains spot on if he is about to be shuffled off to Lyon.

Good stuff, hope he becomes a great player for us.

Media banned from NUFC press conference due to asking why media are banned? Ha! Well played Mr Ashley. Well played.

'kin weirdo.

And if he says yes, punch him down the telephone.

Why does this apply to Cabella, and not Colback? Because Colback played pretty much every game last season and we know what he can offer. Cabella was ostracised fairly early under Pardew as he wasn't a "grafter" and didn't get back enough, so him given free roam to attack and not limited would be great. Cabella's always worked hard for the team. He got dropped because he wasn't doing well going forward Total minutes played - Colback 3129 Cabella 1943 Cabella will do better than Colback with equal playing time. It's not even up for debate about him going forward, he played in dribs and drabs, much like Hatem was subjected too. 1) I never compared him to Jack Colback 2) It's an insult to HBA to compare Cabella's treatment to his Yeah, but... Cabella will do better than Colback with equal playing time. It's not even up for debate! /At scoring and setting up goals this time hopefully, rather than (as you rightly pointed out) look great running around without much to show for it.

Aye, it was good laugh. Does anyone know if he's looked after himself? Almost as well as Bernard did before his triumphant second stint.
