That rules out the emotional reunion in a fortnights time. He'll be back in time for his trip back to St. James'

One thing I'm sure about is his celebratory one armed salute will be the pose they'll have for the statue. The record-breaking celebration seems appropriate.

Can very well see it happening.

Colocho: No official comment from Northern Rock as such really.

Suddenly things make sense

Nice. It's at least some sort of positive news after the events of these past few days.

He's persistent I'll give him that.

He' such a s**** journalist, unless he's towing the party line. The deal was agreed till 2014 - providing we are playing in the premier league every year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8465058.stm Indeed but it's been made aware recently that there was a get-out clause in the contract which could be activated after 2 years - something which Northern Rock has decided to take up.

FYP.

http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/transfer-rumours/1280/41/newcastle-close-auxerre-star Can't say I've heard much of this Traore. Though another midfielder, think we've got decent enough depth in that area.

I honestly think that Tevez doesn't give a f*** about football anymore.

Never given a tip at a pub/bar either. Didn't realise some people did. Got a horrible feeling we are a couple of scum bags who have had their drinks subsequently spat in.

Newcastle Building Society.

Agreed. Aye.

I remember that game against Scunny when Simpson had to play CB In short, if we really don't have a choice then yes, I'd consider playing Santon at CB.

Aye, it's a bit s**** that Kadar isn't getting a look in. He did mention about a week ago that these days he's feeling fine fitness-wise and that he's put his injury from last year behind him. So if he performs well in the reserves, don't see why he shouldn't be promoted to the first team. He looked more than competent when called upon in the Championship.

Was just about to say. Cabaye 2-1 Gardner

Definitely, I'd make a top priority for us to sign some defensive cover in January. Ridgewell sounds like he fits the profile and considering we have been linked with him in the summer and a couple of weeks ago, can honestly see us going for him again. A few people have mentioned Pieters but don't think we'll sign him really. He would be an ideal signing considering he can play CB and LB but as it stands, don't think he'll even be first choice in the team so signing him would be somewhat pointless atm (unless Simpson and Raylor have a massive drop of form). Aye, getting Maiga is great as he sounds like he'll be a really good addition and bulk us out a bit up top but that's not really the priority as it stands. We have no cover at all at CB at the minute. Williamson is out and if anything happens to Coloccini it doesn't bear thinking about. The thought of going into a run of fixtures with Perch is frightening.
