Remebmer to take the NUFC player return constant into account: Expected Return Date + 2 Matches = Bench Return

Aye but if NUFC has taught us anything it's for every two players you get back from injury you lose 3

Tried for Elano too, interesting. "although we will be going back in the summer for certain individuals that we went for in the summer.” Clearly the Chronicle has read between the lines on that and assumed it means the 4 public bids.

If someone really good was available I'd want him permanently, gives him 3 months to have a look at things and then the summer to go ape. Poor JFK though, he risked his health to try and keep us up.

It is true by the way, just realised nobody's posted the link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7876467.stm

Get well soon Joe Odd how it's gone from "he's fine don't worry about it" to "actually, he needs bypass surgery." Probably our physio's working on him. Wonder if Venables will get the call again?

Christ, Xisco in the reserves. JFK being incapacitated has given that boy a new lease of life, considering there were some quotes knocking around not so long ago about him being unwilling to drop down to reserve level.

Just the same as the eights for Lovenkrands and Ryan Taylor, then. Ameobi is rubbish, and was rubbish against the worst team in the league. Yeah but come on, 1's and 2's rubbish?

Spurs who cried when Man Utd tried to tap Berbatov up when they spent all summer and subsequently all winter trying to unsettle players. Horrible club, horrible fans, horrible manager, horrible players, horrible chairman. Hope they go down on the last day following a Jenas own goal and a Dawson red card.

Some people on here gave him 1's and 2's out of 10. He wasn't amazing by any means but some just have a vendetta against him because it's cool to hate Shola

Andy Johnson cost £11m and he can't have more than half a dozen league goals, although I haven't checked the stats Not bad for Fulham? Non? Well the thing is they're in the top half, so something is obviously working. Still think for £11m I'd be dissapointed with so few goals

Beated And let's not forget Boro didn't beat WBA

Confirmed, as if it was necessary http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/7878084.stm

It was NOTW I think, it had a little bit about signings who made their debuts and they basically said he "sleepwalked" through the game and if this was him trying to prove a point they'd hate to see him otherwise.

Yet another example of a promotion from within the club not working. Also good to see other clubs have been reading the Shepherd handbook, sacking the manager just after a transfer window is a great idea.

Grandchild, surely? He's like 50 remember

I'm not sure it is. The less decisions Kinnear has to make the better. Having said that it's undoubtedly better to have Martins, Viduka and Shola to pick from up front, even if he will pick Smith

Where's Jonas? Suspended (5 yellows)

I thought that didn''t start till the next match We said that before the mackems game. He's definitely suspended for WBA

He might not want to drop Jonas but when he's suspended he's got little choice you silly cretin

Carson is total turd, I mean I can understand why he was given a chance when he was in form but since then he's been shocking for club and country and yet he still gets a place in the squad. James is the same as he always has been but the cycle is moving quicker now that the team in front of him is going downhill, the "3 saves then a UH OH" rule is cycling a lot quicker. Robinson is a fat mess, Foster has barely played and that just leaves Rob Green, who I rate very highly but he seems a bit marmite to a lot of fans.

To be fair, these are two decent teams playing each other for about the third time in a fortnight. They're bound to be able to cancel each other out after this much practice
