Can't be as bad as me

Is this from the same lad who told you all of that other guff a month or so back? Nope. Completely different lad, this one is a director at a city of London merchant bank who knows Vetere and Jiminez. They're not employed by the club anymore so what would they know about the club these days? Sorry but can't/won't believe your ITK!

Well Chris Moyles is a bit of a dick......

Looks like Chelsea want the "first choice England CBs" as their first choice CBs. Don't know why but can see Cahill being Terry's long term replacement.....

I see you can buy St. James' Park street signs in the club shop. Nice.

Just saw Rob Elliot in Eldon Square. Shorter than I expected. EDIT: also saw Steve Stone too.

A simpler solution would be (from right to left): Jonas Cabaye Tiote Ben Arfa Vuckic Ba This will never happen though due to the Ben Arfa-wing thing. I can dream.....

Actually, yeah good shout....

That's more like it really. (It's a start anyway).

Hmm yeah, that is another way to look at it.

Cabaye being back will probably be a big plus. With him back in the side, we're less likely to play long ball imo. So maybe that's one reason why Pardew is going to persist with 4-4-2 for the time being?

Raylor back in the team on Monday then. f***'s sake

Christ, 10 years ago?! Top of the leagueeeeee.

A 4-3-1-2?

Ancelotti? Decent appointment if true.

Colo? granted but just finding it difficult to believe Ashley would sanction that kind of money on a cb now Yep..... At most I think we'll probably pay £5million for a CB. A £2million fee could get you a defender who would provide decent cover (eg. Ridgewell).

I think I should make my PL Fantasy Football team the same as my Sky Sports Fantasy Football team. My latter team is doing so well....

Stupid thing to say, but no malice in it whatsoever. I don't think people should make too much of a deal of it tbh.

Guthrie on the right doesn't work. We would at least have someone on the right who'll be able to put a quality ball in from time to time.

I would tell you his name, but the baying mob then stoned him to death. A Liverpool fan with some sense! Never thought I'd see the day.

Giroud is another target, apparently he has a release clause of 10 million euros. I think it's a reasonable fee so I hope Ashley goes for it.... But first thing's first, we need a CB!
