I'm getting worried

Well in Big Al.

Has to be a wind up surely.

Nice

I guess that's good news in that Blanc is being cautious but I hope Cabaye doesn't play the full 90 minutes against Belgium.

Redknapp will get the England job post-Euro 2012, no doubt about that in my mind. He's talked about the job quite a bit these last few years or so. Will be surprised if he doesn't get appointed tbh.

For all those who haven't seen in chat: @BBCBreaking BBC Breaking News FIFA agree to England team wearing poppy on black armbands during Saturday's match with Spain, the FA have confirmed

Hope the lad steps it up

There have been a few shit ones involving NE5 ages ago but certainly this debate has been one of the worst from recent times.

Possibly the worst debate in N-O's history.

He's had problems there before so it might very well be a recurring injury. Hope not.

Okay, so he says it's not for him "at this time". Things could very well change but I reckon he'll still be with us for the whole of next season at the very least.

I sincerely hope this isn't true.

All this over-analysis man. f*** sake.

Pardew has said he doesn't want the England job and he'll stick by that I reckon.

He's a good squad player so I'm all for him signing a new contract.

:lol: That can't be real :lol:

That poster is an ignorant dick. Yeah, that post wouldn't look out of place on RTG.

Yep, it is all ifs and buts. What I envisage in January is that we'll probably sign 2/3 players. So, I reckon Maiga is pretty much a done deal; I think we'll get Ridgewell in the end (he has been mentioned recently in the press) - will be a decent signing as he'll be able to cover both CB and LB. Don't think we'll sign Pieters though unless we really want to sign a LB. The third player could very well be further defensive cover, not sure really! We'll see.

If we are loaning out of youngsters to gain experience, it would be counter productive to recall them to sit on the bench due to injuries plus I have a feeling that having spent a net half a million pounds in the summer and not getting the striker we craved, Derek and his "dominoes" have a few irons in the fire here. It should also be evident thatg an injury to Saylor or Colo could have serious consequences for us. That is why I think someone like Peeters rather than a Ridgewell is targeted in january as well as forwards. Furthermore, with the club refusing to meet Danny Simpson's contract demands, I can see us selling him in January to someone like QPR or Villa or someone of that ilk and replacing him with a better option. Indeed it could be counter-productive to recall the youngsters but if the injury list happens to grow, we won't have much choice but to recall them. Plus they'll certainly have more a chance of playing in the first team if injuries/suspensions do indeed hit us hard. Regarding the Simpson situation, I wouldn't believe what the Sun has written a couple of hours ago. Of course, Simpson's contract issue isn't really news but things could very well change in the next few months.
