Only our half being watered at half time.

Can't remember a more pro-home team referee.

I am certain that this has been said already so apologies but a huge amount of Whelan's stance on this lies in the unadulterated hatred there has been between him and Mike Ashley over a number of years. DW believes that Ashley systematically set out (and succeeded) to destroy JJB.

It's quite strange reading the posts about snow. Diverted train from London has now reached Hartlepool, the sky is blue and not an ounce of snow to be seen anywhere. Went to Twickenham yesterday for England France - good atmosphere and occasion but bloody hell I couldn't watch rugby every week. All the Frenchies very aware of our football club though...

Lots of Away fans in the shop buying a shedload of gear...

All the Spurs VIPs and ex players I had the misfortune - apart from Ossie and Ginola -of being with today thought that we played an impressive, slick, passing game today..

Can't ever remember the team EVER celebrating a victory like that. Incredible. And I don't ever seen a more tired team. They sweated blood tonight. Helped by a lot of time wasting btw. Second half was torture to watch, even live.

Everything internally at the football club - currently anyway - revolves around finishing 8th as "par"

NUFC January buys: Debuchy QPR January buys: .................. NUFC rumoured targets: Debuchy (signed) Remy Douglas M'Vila The other French forward *None has been publicly talked about by the club. QPR rumoured targets: Sneijder (Denied by QPR) Remy (Not preferred by player) M'Vila Don't forget Sissoko

This is what my French friend thinks about him. And she does know her football: "Please also pray for the French team! It needs support to qualify for the 2014 World in Cup! You are very lucky to get Debuchy! He is an amazing player with a bright future and he is not too stupid, compared with Ben Arfa…. "

Watched this one on French TV. The French commentators drooled over Marveaux, number one, I mean really drooled and number two, they kept banging on about the fact that - according to them anyway - every single goal we have scored this season has been from a native French speaker!

That was over the bloody line

Some news later today

In Amsterdam today and Krul getting a lot of coverage. Always annoys me how underrated he is over here because he left Holland so young.

Don' Don't forget how much he hates us. I thought he was going to ask me to leave his - Film Director - office when I told him who i support. That was 18 months ago but suspect he hasn,t forgotten...

Of course, but it's not easy for a club like Lille to replace a France international and probably their best player. I have no problem with the way Lille are doing this. It's what we have said about our club earlier. The the replacement in before selling the player. The only way to do it. They're not a club that can attract great players and at the same time their best players want to leave. It sucks for them but it's reality. The last two seasons they have brought in Roux, Payet, Kalou, and Marvin Martin. Honestly, they've replaced their outgoings quite well. It is a very well-run club. Promising young players yes (except Kalou) but not great players (yet). That's about what they can expect as a club. Buy promising players and develop them. A bit like us then really. We certainly run the club in a similar way at the moment, though that's were the similarity ends. I met the owner of Lille, Michel Seydoux, a couple of years ago. He said (then) that Newcastle were the worst club he had ever dealt with.

In a nutshell, top and bottom of it. These threads which attempt to kick off some negativity always seem to be started by posters who appear from nowhere in the hope they can get some momentum going. i.e. sad macums or other NUFC detractors. 4 whole pages of absolute nothingness so far. Yep, utter s****. It's not unfortunately.

Sorry, sorry, sorry don't know what it's about just know for a fact that it's true. Nothing at all to do with AP.

It is true. Is the first of the three combinations.

Tbf, he did call O'Neill a c***. Not that that's anything to hate him for. I will never forget how polite and friendly and gracious he was to me and my daughter immediately after the Fulham match. Pure class, given the circumstances.

Amazing Ant and Dec might still be there http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/golf/the-masters-2012-lee-westwood-teams-782010 Met them and Shearer last night at a party here. Signing out to watch the second half. Will get put on a plane home if I get caught in here and even my typing sounds loud!!

Sitting in a toilet at Augusta watching it on my iPad. Sound down..

I've always suspected Pardew was quite keen to get rid of Nolan, not so certain about Barton though. Well apparently - from a source that could not be telling anything other than the truth: Nolan was sold basically because firstly his influence on the other players was felt to be too great, secondly because of his drinking and thirdly because the club felt his physical conditioning and mobility was only going to go one way. Barton was sold because his mood on any particular day had too big an impact on the whole club. If he came to tarining in the wrong mood, the whole camp was affected and he was just completely unplayable.

Bizarre. Had dinner tonight at an ice-hockey match in Germany with the owner of Hoffenheim. He said that messing up Demba's contract cost him €5 million. His worst transfer mistake ever. He also said that Cisse is the real deal.

I spoke to Kevin Keegan today. He was in this mega-exclusive golf resort hidden in the hills above Nice. Having breakfast with his wife and two others. Couldn't believe it.
