Against us.

Oh and this as well to add to my post above. Though the Liverpool thing had made his imminent departure sour.

Actually, this is a much better way to do things.

I'll echo what some have said so far. His departure was inevitable, but to go to f***ing Liverpool of all places is f***ing annoying. But if we get Pieters at around the same time (say a few hours apart) Jose actually goes, that'll do

Hope so!

One of these: Tavernier/Dummett/Raylor/Perch/Ferguson (if fit)

Honestly can't see him going to Stoke.

This

Mark Douglas seems to think so. Really hope we get him in before Saturday. Can't say I'd be content with Tavernier/Dummett/Raylor/Perch starting at left back on Saturday (if Ferguson is back by Saturday and starts though, then that is somewhat acceptable).

We've only got a couple of days left to wrap this transfer up (provided that we are actually in advanced talks at this stage). Time is running out.

other than we're Newcastle and things are never that easy Ha, true.

Honestly, there's definitely no reason why we can't get a good result on Saturday!

Canny.

James is the best, man. annoyance disapproval disdain

Aye

That's how I'd play it too, with the wide men getting right up in support of Ba whenever they can and running at a shaky as f*** Arsenal defence who will already be worried about the physical presence of Ba. We should be looking to win this game, no doubt about it. Definitely, Arsenal are more than there for the taking at the minute.

So AP has confirmed he's back in the squad and might play Saturday, good news.

Hope he knows something. Aye!

Indeed.......

I didn't get a badge Got a nice keyring though

Exactly this.

Oh my......

Tbf, he did show some promise under Bobby.

The thing with Shola is, he is part of the furniture at NUFC. You just can't imagine the club without him, he has become a somewhat comedy figure at the club which has meant (imo) some people (myself included) seem to like him. Having said that though, he's a terrible player who has one good game in 14. His inconsistency has been annoying these last few years and enough is enough I'm afraid - a new contract should not be offered.
