Well we'll see if this transpires. Like Sewelly said, the other sales while they might not have been popular still made sense from a footballing point of view. If we sell Coloccini then it would be conclusive proof that the balance sheet is all the current regime is interested in. He was player of the season for most people. Player of the season for the past 2 in my opinion. This is the acid test, as it were. We'll see what transpires. This story generally seems like a steaming pile of pointless bullshit.

Well right now we've got Ba coming in, Best, Ameobi, Loven, Ranger. In that order for me, Loven and Ranger pretty much interchangeable. Feel Best is more than capable of coming in as next choice. Get one more in, and I'm content with one of those final 3 being 4th choice, preferably Ranger if he can step up. I'm liking it tbf.

Always comes up at the end of the season when injury-hit players are given up on by their clubs. Pay as you play deals. How many of these fucking things actually happen? They're mentioned by the press and fans alike as if they're a regular occurance when you see like one a year, if that, happen.

Don't say things like that Must admit it's all I keep thinking Watch that video and, typical Newcastle, am stopping myself from getting too excited.

Campbell last season, too. KUQI! Christ. I think he's onto something!

Instantly handed captain's armband did they say?

70k

Let's hope so

It's why this transfer surprised me so much. Didn't see him jumping just because he couldn't instantly get an improved contract. Fair play to him, he got what he wanted. Not going to begrudge either side here. As others have said, good luck and I hope he does well. Just not too well. Oh, and West Ham continue to prove exactly why I class their 'management' team as the biggest set of clueless clods in football. Including Ashley and Lamby.

Forest fans must be blushing listening to that though, such patronising bollocks. "I..like to thank you all...for being here today...it is a...a...great HONOUR...to be...MANAGER...of a club like...FOREST...The club is er...er...STEEPED in history...you can SMELL it, in this room..." You can smell it in this room? I want to watch it just to hear him say that.

Okocha

That says it all really. Taylor goes up front.

I repeat

What in God's name has happened in here?

Stewards and the like chanting outside Villa Park on SSN. Prepared to lose his job not to see McLeish coming in. Can't say I'd ever be that dedicated to not seeing a manager come in.

Pardew seemed to be happy giving it to him when the regular capitans weren't around. Wonder if he could handle it full time. Seems to be our best option out of everyone right now, though.

Jesus Christ. Those sure are some quotes. Did he not get a shitload of flak for that when moving? Would've assumed they'd be brought up.

Jim White is such an annoying dick. Georgie Thompson looks fucking good in a pair of glasses, though.

So harsh yet oh so true.

Not just on the Shearer subject, but a general thought. Really pissing me off that when we have a shaky tournament, it's next manager in, get rid of this clown. International football needs stability just as much as club football. Considering the short time they actually spend with each other, it could be argued stability is needed even moreso. It's called building, obviously he's made mistakes and not been to standard. But are we going to do this with every manager? We got rid of the steady quarter final finishes with Eriksson and look where that got us. And that's coming from someone who's not a major Eriksson fan.

Will have to try and drag some mates down there when I'm up next month.

That would kill me Would be MUCH better than going to Liverpool, for me. I dare say I'd be honoured if he moved to Arsenal.

Like he'll pay up.
