Will he play though with Reid & Tomkins? He only played a lot last year because Reid had surgery

If Davies & Bony go to Liverpool they'll both be excellent value, we'll see though. A lot of expensive players but some interesting out of position, like Odemwingie & Sanchez being midfielders

It's on a radio, dooly fm

Sammy on for Gouffy

They'll sign somebody before long, imagine at the very least they'll get Borini back

What fucking station is this btw? Is it their version of BBC Newcastle or just two fuckers with a microphone?

Oldham commentator sounds absolutely pig sick

Perez cost about 1/6th of that, there's minimal risk

This. Pleased with what we've got so far but plenty more work to do, but with the morons in charge we'll doubtless be lacking in a few positions and have Dummett at centre half by September

Where's this Zaha link from?

LVG picked Kuyt over Janmaat and people are worried he'll take him to Man Utd ?

He played for Ireland at the end of May

3 days until the misery starts again, and what better way to kick off the season than the Sports Direct Derby? No World Cup players or Santon, and Elliot's only back from his holidays on Monday so that'll be a treat. Team (Subs): Alnwick, Anita (Satka 54), Dummett (Bigirimana 70), S.Taylor (Streete 63), Yanga-Mbiwa, Colback, Aarons (Haidara 63), Armstrong (Perez 54), De Jong (Vuckic 63), Gouffran (Ameobi 46), Abeid. Goals: 14' De Jong 64' Dieng 78' Gros

Will score past us in that tournament I'm sure

Yeah I think most in this forum realise that , unfortunately plenty outside of this forum still think Pardews not the problem, its those foreigners Exactly, i'm sure there's plenty who visit this place but aren't signed up who think Pards is hard done to, and it's all Ashley's fault. Amazingly for me, i hope we have a cracker of a season and Ashley spends more money, i say that knowing it's absolutely not going to happen but i'd like to enjoy football for a while if possible. That's what it boils down to for me, they could put a poo throwing chimp in charge it's the result that dictates my mood on a Saturday night, no point getting bothered about the other stuff unless there's enough of an uprising to put serious pressure on. Would that risk upsetting the new signings though?

Don't you feckin start an all sunbeam It was for Cronkynutnuthead. Ah! Sorry love

Who hasn't realised that bimpy? It is written multiple times in every thread

He hasn't given Pardew any money though, it would have been better if he had, it would have been somehow worse watch but at least he would have dug his own grave by now. At the moment, he's got Carr doing all the donkey work and Pardew coming along every season and whinging about it, stamping his feet until he gets a fresh crop of international players to ruin. Well let's not split hairs. We have spent some money for the first time in 18 months was the main point.

Matchdays towards the end of last season were the pits. Days of dread then 90 minutes of wanting Newcastle to lose. That's why I packed it in. Still feels shite but the thought of watching an Alan Pardew team feels worse. That hasn't changed. First day, I'll be hoping for a City win. I want the best for NUFC and at present that is getting humiliated every game until he's gone. Fair points, 2014 matches have been a struggle. I struggle with wanting us to lose, just because I dread who the replacement would be. Ashley has dug up JFK twice and tried really hard to unleash O'Leary on us. I think we'd have to be relegated for him to be sacked - if there was a guarantee Ashley and Pardew would go then I'd take it, but sadly that is not a guarantee. How are any of those choices worse than Pardew though? I mean he's less obviously embarrassing but as a manager he's the fucking pitts, can't think of anyone worse. So you would take JFK over Pardew? I don't like Pardew, but that is absurd. O'Leary, well, after brummie's review of him I'm pleased we avoided him. The grass isn't always greener but when your grass is covered in shit anyway beggars can't be choosers I suppose. I dont want Kinnear, I just don't understand being scared of any alternatives. Even with Kinnear IMO the only way he's worse is that he's no good at convincing people he isn't shit, which apparently Pardew has a fucking PHD in. Make no mistake 99% of the grass is greener. In many ways that's better though, when Kinnear was boss/associated with the club we were an active joke. At least now we're only a joke to ourselves, everybody else has been blinded by Pardew's bullshit. As you say, seemingly Pardew can convince players he's not a total cunt, something Kinnear would probably struggle in. Jesus, this is grim no matter what way you look at it. Welcome Cabella

Oh I mean he's absolutely sub human scum and the excuse that nobody better would come is not a reason any PL manager should be in a job. In an ideal world some up and coming manager with ambition will takeover, in many ways it is gutting that Ashley has given this fuckwit money to spend when it could have been somebody far more competent, but such is life.

I like that the players we're getting in might not be absolutely fucking loathsome and detestable to watch at the games I'll be dragging myself regrettably along too. But at the same time a lot of me hopes we lose due to the bellend in charge. I can almost tolerate Ashley as he doesn't inflict the 90 mins of pain just the background of loathing, Pardew though - no chance. A lot of the time with Pardew I can tell at 2pm when the team is announced if I'm going to enjoy the game or not. Hopefully with a few more options that might not be so bad. I thought we played some ok stuff before Christmas, nout dazzling but like a team who were capable of finishing 7th or thereabouts. Some horror shows, as ever with Pardew, but some good away performances and the occasional home success had us well placed but then we all know what happened next. He's just a detestable cunt though who will have us seeing out games after 30 minutes with a 1 goal lead, but I love supporting this mess of a club more than I hate this arsehole.

Maybe I'm a sap but a couple of more signings like this (forwards, mainly) and I'll be looking forward to our games next season. Yes, the manager is a turd and the owner isn't doing things the way we would like but I'm not capable of ignoring the club. Watching us, following us, match day - it's what Saturday's/weekends are all about, and it's all very well saying that you'll get involved again when the ownership changes but what if it never does? What if the next owner is like Cellino at Leeds or Tan at Cardiff? Obviously they are extreme examples and both complete lunatics but it could happen. I can understand not wanting to fuel Ashley's fortune and I don't support him in the slightest, but the prospect of not having that match day to look forward to is unfathomable to me. In many ways, the club have me by the balls and Ashley knows that. The Pardew thing has been done to death but it has been shown that if the players are good enough they can override his shitness, so more players of this ilk the better. In 6 months I'll no doubt be moaning that he is being played too deep/on the bench but that's future me's problem.

Ba and Remy. Dat scouting
