Scouts and agents often have videos of players, usually a few hours long. For example, Sven in his first summer at City signed all his players based on videos he'd seen of them.

4-4-2 is good but it would have been so much better if Butt wasn't starting.

It definetly will be. BBC have rights to broadcast their matches live online.

Good news. Should be a good addition.

Nicky Butt just fuck off and retire.

FT

off the line!

Looks like he may be off to Notts County according to the BBC.

Thing I find funny about some of these teams is people are saying rest players but are then including Enrique. Surely he is the first person we should be resting considering we have nobody else capable of playing LB. Throw Kadar or Tozer in at LB and keep Enrique fresh.

Who's playing on the right now?

Palace just wide from corner.

Hopefully we get a good second half.

Fuck me, this is end to end.

It's time for the likes of Smith, Barton, Nolan, Duff, R.Taylor etc. to redeem themselves efter last year (last few years in some cases). If they have any bit of a conscience the lot of them will put in a cracking performance tomorow to help the club when it most needs it. Unfortunatly, I can see exactly the opposite happening.

The bloke from BBC Radio Humberside on Look North said they are in talks.

BBC Look North (Yorks & Humber) just said Hull have agreed a fee with Newcastle and he is in talks.

Somewhat sad to see him go but it was inevitable.

As explained before a non-disclosure agreement simply means they can't go about talking about the club's finances that they have seen during due dilligence.

Quotes from McMahon McMahon said today from the Far East: "We would certainly be looking to keep Alan. "He would be a major draw for players to the club and for the supporters. "Shearer is part of the future for Newcastle if we acquire it.'' Yet McMahon says progress on the sale has been slow. He said: "We need something to happen very, very quickly, for Newcastle supporters, and for the players. "The season is only two or three weeks away for the Championship to start. We urgently need something to happen, and we're trying to make that happen. "I would imagine this week is crucial. If we don't hear anything back by the end of the week, it doesn't look hopeful.'' It is understood that United have not reached £100million but McMahon said: "A hundred million is difficult. "We've just offered what we believe is the value of the club. "He's lost a lot of money on it, but he was there when Newcastle needed him. OK, it hasn't worked out for him as a business, but we don't intend to steal it off him, that's for sure.''

Sounds like he's stepping up the pressure on Ashley and trying to get the fans on his side. Makes me think that the offer is less than what Ashley wants and he is trying to force his hand.

We could do a lot worse than signing Michael Ball.

At this piont I would welcome him back with open arms. Just shows how far we have fallen.

If he is willing to pay £15m he can have him.
