Whats the point of risking all the first teamers now???

I like Hughton but even if I dont like him. There is no way Ashley going to fire him. He is the cheapest option he have out there. Why would he pay someone 2 mil on wage and then get pressured in Jan to spend loads on players ? All this papers rumers are they have to write something about Newcastle and poor Chris is in the middle of all.

I can not belive somebody pay something money for this dog shit.

Pound to pound the best signing this club made for very long time.

He needs to play in the middle always.

I am just baffled by our home performance? We are very commited away from home.

Simpson is like a new signing great

Some people are lunatic to think Pardaw is better than Hughton.

I am so happy of this I want to see the distraction of Man u.

Wenger is fairly lean. Keeps himself in good nick.... Wenger is Wenger... He is like 20 people with lots of knowledge.

Is there any PL teams with paper thin coaching stuff?

Lose this one and we end up in relegation zone. Massive game and a must to get something out of it....

We should put Pedro in that role and hire some one for the reserves...

I don't care what Forest fans think of him..... Good luck to him I really hate Perch and I am sure it is 80% his idea for getting him here.

We shouldn't play 2 up front away from home but it is a must at home. He claim everyteam play like that but we don't care about others but this club needs to play with two up front all the time....

NO should be Changed to HELL NO :angry:!!!!

It is very worring times a head. Jonas is clue less Perch is the worst player to wear this shirt for a while....

It is quite amazing we sign this player James Perch. Also

A simple pass would have been nice Jonas...

Most of our players wants to do impossible things...

We should sign him permanently and we should aim for the start of the season after a proper pre season.

I hate the thought of picking the other team. I just picked only one and it is Arsenal. They do things properly over the years. Play nice attractive football as well.

Great news... I wonder about the Taylor contract? I also wonder how many here will cry about him if we lose him for free.

ifa official concerned by football 'brutality' By Tim Franks BBC sports news correspondent Fifa's Dr Michel d'Hooghe D'Hooghe wants players to be punished retrospectively for bad tackles Fifa's top medical official has said that football at the highest level is being disfigured by "criminality" and "brutality" on the pitch. Dr Michel d'Hooghe told BBC Sport he is concerned by the number of serious injuries caused by dangerous tackles. "Some players come on the field... simply to provoke injuries in other persons - to break a career," he said. The Belgian added: "I have two eyes, where I can see what happens - how some acts are really criminal." D'Hooghe is the chairman of Fifa's medical committee and one of the longest-serving members of the executive committee of football's world governing body. He was speaking out following a recent series of serious injuries sustained by players after reckless challenges - but he made it clear he was not referring to any player specifically. Theo van Seggelen, the general secretary of global players' union FIFPro, has defended his members. "I don't believe there is a player in the world - and we have 50,000 members - who would deliberately try to injure someone else," said Van Seggelen. "That would not be acceptable." D'Hooghe also said that if referees fail to spot bad tackles, then football authorities must be able to punish players retrospectively. Newcastle United have expressed frustration that the Football Association, under current Fifa rules, cannot discipline Manchester City's Nigel de Jong, because match referee Martin Atkinson did not award a free-kick for his recent tackle on Hatem Ben Arfa. The challenge resulted in the Newcastle United player sustaining a broken leg. D'Hooghe said if there is clear video evidence, an FA should still act, adding: "It's not because it's not been seen on the field that suddenly nothing happened." Fifa has proved itself enormously resistant to the use of video technology to aid referees, but D'Hooghe insisted this could be less controversial than goal-line aids. He says he intends to raise the issue at Fifa's next executive committee meeting in three weeks.
