I will do this for you when I get home from work.

I predict that there will be cum stains over the profit on the originals.

Same I'm thinking much the same, unless he gained a French driving license as it was easier. If he had a French licence before he moved over here then it's probably above board. That transfers to an international licence, which is valid for a year iirc. After that he'd have to do his test over here. Also I don't know if I'm definitely remembering this right but I think the international licence might be re-activated each time you come back into the country. Might be wrong about that last bit, can't remember properly. He wouldn't have needed to take a test. http://srve.red24.info/relocate/en/nonmembers/driving.php Also, don't forget he's been here since 17 so it would have been easier for him to do it in this country.

Think Birmingham paid to loan him, so they have a right to keep him if they choose. and like city need the money. for how much they got it would have been insurance in case of this. to leave yourselves with only 2 keepers in their position (financially and going for a champs league spot) is pretty stupid. Like I asked earlier, is it good for the game for clubs to have three decent keepers at the top club with one having no chance of playing? As that is what would happen without the insurance. Nielsen sounds like our Caig, there so we can play a reserve game. The rules are there unopposed by the Premier League clubs. As pointed out by NUT and myself other clubs have used it in the past, and will do so again.

Anyone got a photo of N'Zogbia driving a car out of the training ground with an empty passenger seat? Could be a nice earner from a tabloid.

David James. Portsmouth have nothing to play for and need to investigate their reserve keepers anyway. Chance to save and earn a bit of money, and he'll be back for the cup final. James knows the club well and has a chance to show he can still play at a higher level club to stake his claim for the World Cup.

£ Yep, clubs like us with nothing to play for wont mind doing it for some sort of bonus.

BBC Sport understand that they will get permission. Rightly so, as the rules are there and have been used by other clubs in the past, both in the PL and the lower leagues. There is nothing stopping other clubs doing the same should they be in the same situation. The rule is a good one. There is only one place in the team for a goalkeeper and is a specialised position that can't be fulfilled by playing someone else out of position. Without the insurance of an emergency loan, certain clubs, particularly the rich ones will stockpile keepers, the result being a keeper that could be perfectly good for someone else is left to rot on a large contract. For example, Joe Hart may not have got that crucial loan to Birmingham that could one day benefit England. Spurs and Villa can moan all they want, but the rule is there for them as much as it is for City, and I wouldn't call any scenario involving a club losing their best two keepers an advantage. These clubs are going to be better off with the better matchwinners between the sticks. Liverpool can't moan as they've used the emergency loan before.

This. There is a provision in the rules, its been implemented before.

One thing really that stopped us being a better team last season: Joe Kinnear

stuart taylors knackered too hence why they're looking for an emergency loan. Personally i think there should be a rule for gk emergency loan anyway I think there is one. Liverpool got Paul Jones in similar circumstances and he was Southampton's number one at that time.

Stuart Taylor is injured as well.

What are the odds for Steve Harper?

O'Hara (I know), Boateng and Zayatte. None of the others are improvements on what we already have.

Who the fuck is the guy top left in the second picture?

A new season is a new start for everyone. This season has very little bearing on what will happen the next.

Actually its not doing it anymore. A few minutes ago our trophy pictures were mixed up with pictures of Nick Clegg.

Type in "Newcastle" on the editorial section of Getty Images and see who is to blame for our title.

at the moment the BBC look like finishing reading the scores first. Hopefully something after that.

Nicky Butt: Club Statement An assist activates a clause giving a ten-year contract extension. He's staying.

my sister in law drove around in her car for 5 years before finally taking a test and passing. Just for consistency: You should report her.

Beautiful words Chris, you are a great man, just like Bobby was.
