Sifu

I see Wearside had hijacked this thread today. Not cool

Had the same reaction initially. Loved that from Crumpy, though.

Probably a lot. The pressure of the price tag could be getting to him.....

The lack of competition at RB is probably a key factor. We signed Santon as our new left back so Simpson would still be our first choice RB. I, for one, reckon he can do better, just needs a kick up his arse. His personal problems seem to be behind him so hopefully he'll improve in the coming weeks....

The reaction at the time was justified imo. Firstly we had no idea how Cabaye would do in this league when we signed him; secondly we sold our top goalscorer and finally we sold our captain and leader on and off the pitch. Of course we've now seen that Cabaye was indeed a fantastic purchase, seems to have adapted to the league well and offers movement and creativity in the middle - something which Nolan couldn't offer. Nolan was a great servant but now we can finally move on.

I grew up seeing the old iconic NEWCASTLE UNITED sign on the East Stand, so it's hard for me to just accept the new sign especially with SportsDirect.com in such close proximity. St. James' has lost a bit of its soul there.

Spot on

I can see SportsDirect.com being on our strips at some point............ (hope I'm completely wrong like). Probably been asked before but how long does Northern Rock have left on the sponsorship deal?

I knew that the Women's team existed but reading through their history, yeah looks like they have no official affiliation with the club. Though I imagine that the club does offer some donations/sponsorships from time to time?

Relegation wasn't a 'good thing' but 'good things' did come out of it, if that makes sense. It wiped the clock back to 0000 and allowed us to rebuild and move forward.

I know it's a bit cliché but the words, "New Leeds" comes to mind.

Indeed, looking back at it now, relegation was the kick up the arse we needed....

Thanks for that

The lad just needs games under his belt really - get his match fitness/sharpness up so that he gets back to his absolute best

Cool, make sure to let us know the important parts. Only if i want to... (you didn't say PLEASE !) I'll only let Sifu know what they said, the only who deserves it.

Just imagined that in my head.

Cool, make sure to let us know the important parts.

An excellent point well made

Exactly.

Not really.

Nice man management.

Really depends what happens between now and January, if Best and Ba keep scoring goals then it's probably unlikely we'll sign a striker in January.....
