Last signing should obviously be another centre half with PL experience. It's asking it bit much of Taylor, Cacapa, and Rozenhal to get through a season together when none of them have played a full PL season before.

No, but it did have "Oh no, look who The Mags have signed" on the FRONT page the day we signed Shearer. True story. They should've re-run that story when they took on Howard Wilkinson, tbh. 'Fuck me! Look who we've signed!'

Don't think we'll go 4-4-2, tbh. Don't think Viduka'll play, either.

Do you think you've changed style, Trotter?

What actually was on the back page anyway, if it wasn't this?

They are unbearable, but that's only to be expected when you've had years of non-stop shit. Anything above mediocre is a treat. Let them get on with it. The last time they played European football it was in black and white.

That's the point, really. Whoever would prefer to go watch Newcastle v Wigan over Newcastle v Sunderland is mental, tbh.

This entire story sounds completely made up from beginning to end.

They must look at us, though, and think "you pay £6m for the likes of Smith, and soem of you think you are going to get Deco". Everyone else is always stupid in football. True. I agree that all football supporters have to be deluded to some extent. Having said that, there's actually a chance of that happening: this is Newcastle. Their biggest ever signing was Tore Andre Flo, ffs. There is no chance of that happening, until Deco is 33 and fucked. And even then, it's more likely to be a stupid fanboy rumour. All (most?) football fans, by their nature, blinkered and stupid when it comes to the game and team they love. It goes with the territory. Maybe not so much the ones who decide to support Man Utd/Chelsea/Liverpool/us under KK, etc, because of success (actual or perceived), but actual proper fans. We're all stupid, tunnel-visoned fools most of the time. If we weren't, we'd do something productive with our time. We all said that about Kluivert. We only had to wait until he was 28 and fucked.

I've no idea, really. 2-2? It'll be interesting to see what formation Big Sam uses to essentially counter one of his own formations.

What a cucking funt. One of my best mates is a mackem, so I can't generalise about them, really, but on the subject of football he turns instantly into a typical SMB. We can't really talk about it now. Even if I ask an innocuous question like 'Do you think you'll be alright this season?' He'll instantly be on the defensive and go, 'Well, at least we didn't pay £17m for a striker with brittle bones'. It's sad in a way, they can only talk about their team in relation to ours.

I don't get the mackems. They've had to pay over the odds to bring in an inexperienced--yet promising--keeper, striker, and defender but they still reckon there's a good chance they're going to sign Heinze. Mental.

Of course. What the hell's wrong with you people?

That'll be why we haven't won there in the last 5 attempts.

Probably got a little too excited when the hungry caterpillar got to Monday. Howay! Footballers are more intelligent than you give them credit for! Haven't you heard about the great Dyer vs Barton Austrian Chess Championship?!

Ahhh! Look at Steve Sidwell. He thinks he's a Chelsea player, bless.

Rio got injured reading a book or something, didn't he. Had his leg propped up on a table while reading and knacked his knee.

I'd say Beattie'll be one of the best very best in the Championship if he gets his act together.

They've shown this pissing Niall Quinn interview enough, though. He says 'compelling' in relation to Keano about 15 times in a minute.

I don't know what world you live in where Luque is cover for Joey Barton.

Was wondering that myself. Would've caught up with him but I was so hungover I could barely stand; he was quicker than me even on crutches. Caught a snippet of his chat with whoever he was with and it was about food poisoning, the phrase 'fucking coming out of both ends' popped up.

Has he been on yet ? Has he fuck. They mentioned it once in about 4 hours and never came back to it.

7th. A place up if Michael Owen plays regularly. Edit: I actually voted 8th, but that's because I factored in the chances that everything will go tits up spectacularly and we'll barely be able to field a team come Xmas.
