What a window

3 of the "big 4" out by the end of round 4 would be refreshing

The right back candidates: R Taylor: Suspended Simpson: Injured S Taylor: Injured Coloccini: Needed at centre half Kadar: Needed at centre half, left footed. Donaldson: A striker turned midfielder, filled in for 15 minutes at RB at Ipwich when the game was all but over, likewise at the Hawthornes. Tavernier: Actually is a right back, played against Peterborough in the Carling Cup. Inexperienced. Tozer: A defender at least, overlooked for Donaldson today though it hardly matters. Has covered at left back for Swindon, don't know what foot he is. Has had some less than favourable reviews from reserve and youth watches and was shit in the Carling Cup. If he's right footed I think he'll start. Jonas: Played right back for Argentina iirc. Needed in a more forward role however. Butt: Roeder spoke about using him at the back in a UEFA cup game due to injuries. Didn't happen though. Is old and will get raped. Guthrie: Barely defends when he plays right wing, right back will end him.

Well I'm glad we got to hear a bit of chat with Fabian Delph and Gus Poyet, nevermind important incidents from a game eh?

Happy birthday

Stake or potential winnings?! Potential winnings, £1 on 5 correct scores.

That pen cost my flat mate over £2000.

Nolan's so big he's both in the hole and in centre midfield.

Reading score late on against Burnley, round 5 for them.

So the fifth yellow card of the season he picked up against West Brom doesn't count? I thought it was a week until the suspension counted? ergo, he'll be banned for the Palace game. That got abolished too. Smith got his 5th yellow against Scunny on October 20th and missed the Doncaster game 4 days later. As previously said, you can't get suspended for 5 yellows after the turn of the year, but if you get to 10 yellows it's a 2 match ban. Previously it was around February, I've no idea why it's been brought forward this season but there you go. I see PM's got you well under the thumb already. I thought you weren't moving in till the summer? Aye I'm basically his PA these days, if I had his mod duties he'd be redundant.

Radio Newcastle still think he's playing, I reckon it must be a late injury for him to be not even on the bench.

He's not even on the bench, what a result.

Nolan's not suspended ever, the card amnesty already happened.

Radio Newcastle says: Krul, R Taylor, Colo, Kadar, Enrique, Pancrate, Jonas, Butt, Guthrie, Nolan, Carroll

Wouldn't touch Hulse, doesn't score enough for me, and he's 31 in October. Kris Commons, however, would be useful if he can find his old form.

It'd be nice to get paid on time if nothing else.

Suspect it's more likely the three clubs in a season rule, tbh. Who knows. He didn't even make an appearance in the cups, man, so there's definitely something up. Well even still, who signs a player and goes "woah hold on there, if we play him, we can't sell him, better hold fire on that one. £2m well spent boys." Granted they probably realised 2 or 3 weeks after he signed that they were fucked and then decided not to play him, but still.

It's still fucking stupid. You're telling me the deal was £x up front and the rest paid if he makes one league appearance? No wonder they're financially fucked.

His Leicester supporting flat mates saw him in training and he was shit.

Will be lucky if he's signed by Friday 29th let alone tomorrow

That's it aye.

They have. Good Ronaldo impression. They've never won in the league, I think is the stat. They've won cup games with him.

Tried hard to get him in the summer supposedly, presume this is a loan?
