A weird one. That is for sure.

Would likely work out worse for us than the 2026 bid. Never know. Maybe we could pick up Mexico's 10 games and have 20 here to USA's 60

Nice article. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/cheick-tiote-dead-dies-death-tribute-newcastle-united-difficult-to-comprehend-a7774411.html

Hard to get excited about any impending transfer news or other posts on the board. This is just so sad. In my life time, possibly never have we had the type of player Tiote was. He was the beastly, destroyer DM people had been wanting for years and since. He was an absolute tank, physically imposing and at the top of his game right up there with the club and premier league greats at DM with a different set of abilities that make him stand out. Will never forget the memories from the Arsenal game, his no nonsense play and his occasional banshee shreiks trying to win a free-kick. A great character. It's was our pleasure Cheik.

Absolutely gutting. An absolute beast on his day. Prayers to his family. Gone way to fucking soon.

Prayers for Cheik and family. Hope this isn't true. The radio silence from his management company is a bad sign.

Exactly, and i'll be fucking fuming when we don't sign him too.

Arsenal and spurs were both after him apparently.

Hmm least favourite of those linked. That said, looks like we might be after two CB'S though with Hanley and Mbemba leaving.

Pardew would be perfect. Imagine the hatred levels in derbies if we played.

No luck that time.

Boomf - deserved luck tbh. Been the better side.

"See Lee, we didn't need to spend in January.. dont let anyone tell us we don't know best."

Love that this season finishes like it started with us having to watch dodgy periscope videos! Bring on next year!

Fucking amazing! Honestly couldn't have cared less about 1st or 2nd until brighton got those preemptive champions scarves made up. Jokes on them. Epic.

Fun Factory or more importantly The Fun House and pat sharp and the twins hyping the crowd who would literally go mild.

This summer by all accounts. That said it's every summer for the past three years by all accounts. While I won't turn my nose up at a new RB we have strength in numbers there. I would offer Anita another deal. Yedlin has the talent to step up. Sterry is still an unknown quantity and who knows whether gomez will be worth keeping. A CB, LB, DM, AM, 2x Wingers, a top quality striker would be what I'm hoping for two strikers if we bin mitro or Perez. Most of the loanees will be back and hard to shift too. If he could just stay fit I'd keep DeJong and krul. Saviet is an unknown quantity. Riviere needs binning asap.

Vindication for sacking Claudio? Or still outrageous?

Lots of players to shift. We almost need to shift 10 or more. There are nearer 15 we would need to replace within the next year. Can't see that kind of overhaul though.

I don't begrudge him any success he has. This.

Shearer isn't key to keeping rafa. Lee Ryder-esque journalism. Pretty sure all rafa is asking for is one of these. http://www.bigheads.info/gallery/Corinthian/Headliners/International%20Football/England%20-%20World%20Cup%2098/headliners_england_wc98_alan_shearer_E04_keyring.gif

I hope Colback fell off the chair. Hopefully giving away free kicks in his Nads

What if he wants hundreds of billions ? If it's in Albanian Kwanza Mike says it's OK.

Give rafa what he wants. Close thread. Huge and likely excruciating few months ahead.

Will play defensive. There has to be alot of frustration in the dressing room from the last few games. Hopefully the players use that and the atmosphere from fans. Hopefully it will be a great game!
