I see you edited out your smiley. Was the other one a bit much? I stand by my comment. Palacios is meant to be a box to box midfielder but he hasn't scored a goal since he's been in England (doubt he has much assists either). As i said before, i rate him as a player but he's not the sort of player we need imho. The fact that he hasn't scored....doesn;t that tell you he's disciplined enough to sit tight and let better attacking players get about the business of scoring? Yep, that's what Alan Smith never scoring told me as well.

I don't rate Kinnear at all but I don't mind having him in charge because I think he's on our side and there's certainly nobody higher than him at NUFC who could give two fucks what happens to the club. He's having the piss taken out of him just as much as every supporter. There aren't even that many who are lower!

We replaced Gary Speed with Nicky Butt. In the window we sold Jenas the midfielders we brought in were Emre and Scott Parker.

In fairness to Guthrie his delivery probably wouldn't have been getting so much stick had Owen and Butt put away the very good chances he teed up for them.

We'll cock them, don't worry.

I only watched the highlights and I made it two bad misses for Owen at least....

The BBC has him down as having resigned from us

Come to the game dave, we'll have a lovely day out!

Was saying this in the office

What's his basic from Milan though? I'll bet it's a lot lower than that. I know he's already earning more than anyone could ever realistically dream of, but £30m+ would turn anyone's head.

Dukes should be on that list. We looked awful in the last 1.5 games when he was injured (admittedly against strong opposition)

Once again gets found out when his assistant abandons him.

..... why? Its what tomorrows Times thinks... It`s what JFK has been quoted as saying "There are two midfield players, one Argentine, one Italian. The loan fees for them are £350,000 and £400,000 until the end of the season because we weren’t in a position to pay what their clubs wanted to buy them.” http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/newcastle/article5511574.ece Don`t think it`s a swoop for Riquelme or Battaglia in terms of the Argie though I can't imagine us being prepared to spend that much on a loan deal without having the option to make it permanent.

Poor JFK, like KK & Big Sam he thought he was going to be able to whack the cash around. He also thought he was going to be out on his ear after 4-6 games.

I agree, we're slow as fuck through the middle when Oba's out.

..... why? Why are they midfielders? Probably excelled in that position when they were younger would be my guess. why do you say that, you pedantic bastard

..... why?

Yeah, we should have waited until the full week was up so there wouldn't have been any chance of him being involved against Blackburn.

Almost certainly imo.

Don't be stupid, Harper is much better as a striker. Remember the Celtic game?

Even if that is true, why put the fucker on the bench? Outrageously funny if it is the reason

I can't help but notice how that, after being labeled a disappointment, Pilko has come out all guns blazing to slag off the other players

What money? Fuck knows. We need to spend some, though. The Milner money?
