"[Fraser] has now played his last game for the football club. He won't be involved with us for the last nine games," Howe said. "I only want players who are fully focused on the relegation battle we have ahead and I'm looking forward to doing that with my squad."

I'd go to Everton and offer them want they want to get Rafa - just looked on that grandoldteam forum and they absolutely despise him (and have done since his appointment) - it'll be interesting to see what happens if we still haven't got a manager by Monday and Spurs hammer them at Goodison on Sunday!

Dubs, Shar, Fede, Willock and Miggy all have to start!

Ronny is insane!

Bring this beautiful bastard home!

Martin Samuel - tit “Last week, interim manager Graeme Jones was talking about the culture and values of the area as if they were somehow more noble than the rest. Football people used to lap that up. Many had a soft spot for Newcastle. Yet everyone then saw how spitefully St James' Park regarded Steve Bruce and recoiled.”

He’s a cracking lad to be fair as his Da - both big Sunderland fans from Jarra! He played for Hebburn Town Juniors and turns up for presentations etc for them!

The bookies must have made an absolute fortune off this market! I’ve still got about £300 on Rafa going back to last April! Wolves 5-0 Everton on Monday night with a raging away end, please!

West Ham vs Man City pens SS1

WTF?!

This will be a cracking night - done the last few and they were really good but this lineup is miles better! I notice a certain North East journo hasn’t been asked!

Give Rafa the keys - he brought Amanda to the table so without Rafa there wouldn’t be a takeover!

Just give Rafa the keys to the whole club and let him do his stuff!

Nar, he said he'd be surprised if he gets the job today!

Just had a look at the last few pages of our small thread - Jesus - they're still downplaying the manager who left us two and a half years ago! It's a shame he's not a free agent as they'd explode if he came back!

But you know which lot would hijack any Ronniegill poll!

Wraith had a lovely dig at Edwards too (didn't name him but it was obvious!)!

Oh yes, Jordan talking bollocks - getting spicy!
