It'd be a disgrace if we fielded that central defence in League One. i agree but we haven't got many other options!! The way Perch tackles and picks up booking we could be missing him by the time we play Swansea or West Brom....

Don't think its working playing him "in the hole" i would think we would be better off playing him on the right and let him play like Modric did when Spurs came up here, play on the right but with the licence to come inside and link up with the strikers and likes of Cabaye in the middle.

Shola played the odd game at centre back in his younger days at youth/reserve level. He might be needed again, I just hope if he did go back there he's as good as catching people offside as he is at being caught offside.

he played 3 centre halves at Leicester, could see him doing that with Larrson and Richardson as wingbacks. O'SHEA TITUS or TURNER BROWN LARRSON RICHARDSON

We need a sweepstake for how long it will take the new SAFC manager to mention NUFC.

anyone know what price he was at the start of the season to be first manager to be sacked??

This one had me doubled over :D "I think there may be a few Toon fans taking the pi55 out of our misfortune on here. Leave us alown please, its bad enough we have 6 toes per hand without you lot making things worse" lol i was just about to post that one, absolutely brilliant!!

Just seen Harpers interview on the bbc website and like Shearer gives a glowing tribute as he struggles to fightback the tears as he speaks.

The way he has played in the last few games he will have to feel pretty aggrieved to be dropped for Tiote coming back in.

totally gutted. He was on football focus yesterday and seemed in great spirits. tragic. RIP speedo, top player and top bloke

exactly i think the Tiote to chelsea rumours are just paper talk, they will have Essien back soon and also have Mikel and ramires who play a similar role to Tiote, with Lampard getting on a bit i think they will be more focused on bringing an attacking midfielder in rather than a defensive one. well at least i hope so!

Bearing in mind he was supposedly very doubtful following a back spasm he was awesome today.

He'll not walk, he only signed a new contract(5 year iirc) a few month ago. Can they afford to sack him, it'll cost them a fortune! lol

Ronaldo is going to be livid when he reads this. Ronaldo will dismiss this as Ba being wrong and not knowing what he is talking about.

For the millionth time he DID NOT fail a medical at Liverpool, NUFC hijacked the deal when Marveaux was on route to Liverpool for talks and a medical but diverted to Newcastle and signed for us instead.

Who are we missing? Henderson, Sammy, Vuckic, Ferguson, Abeid, Kadar, Ranger, Dummett, Airey? Also can add the likes of McDermott, Donaldson, Newton, Moyo to the list. We were really poor tonight, they just seemed bigger and stronger than us.

Is Silva playing for Spain?

I doubt Abeid will be involved. Why? he's not on international duty. He is. ah right i just went off .com. Is he playing or just at another training camp?

I doubt Abeid will be involved. Why? he's not on international duty.

Seems to be less and less going but expect 300-500 nufc fans to venture over the dark side. This but its always one of my favourite games of the season, including first team games. Always keenly contested as you would expect in a derby and normally a good laugh in the crowd with the banter and piss taking. Pity we won't have the likes of Vukcic, kadar and sammy playing but should be a good test for Abeid. its only £3,pay on the gate, turnstile 58 South Stand, normal away end.

Is he still sticking to his pledge of a couple of year ago when he said he would put £20m a year into the club?

Yes he has changed it. Now called MASH. http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Club/Home

That Vukcic story is basically just Haris repeating what Pardew has said about wanting to send the likes of Haris, Fergie and Abeid out on loan when the loan window reopens so they can get some experience.

Are they all playing in midweek though, i know Holland play Germany, Bosnia have there 2nd leg of the play off but what about Argentina, Italy and Belgium?

Just got round to listening to Llambiar's interview from this morning on radio Newcastle, he's not very good at his job is he? already admitted he was unable to get a striker "over the line" and now after 2 years of trying couldn't get a sponsorship deal over the line either.....
