They sure did last season. Diagonal run from lovelypants and ball either side of the full back from Routledge for him to run on to.

I know he's not Champions League or anything but I think his movement causes teams problems. Realise this is not the Championship but thought the link ups between him and Routledge last season was a key factor.

Yes support great except for the tosser behind me (and my two daughters) who called Shola a black c....t the whole match. Stone age.

Sorry Batty. Can't edit on phone

Not sure how it looked on TV but live it was a very solid performance. Baron, Tiote and yes Jonas were excellent. Lovelypants too. Tiote is incredible, he is everywhere. David Betty at his best.

Get out of this thread and stay out. Which should actually help his chances of staying with us, I would guess.

That's when i thought that he really should be getting a call up for Spain if he does it to their 'best striker' What's really unreal is that he STILL has no profile at all in Spain. Even Xisco is better known over there.

Demo outside main entrance was a lot bigger than a few dozen kids at half four. Did anyone listen to Roeder on 5 Live this morning. Very impressed, not a bad word to say about the club or the fans. Clearly still bleeds black and white despite all the mental scarring he went through when he was manager. Almost as impressive as Barton's post-match interview. Whatever else you can say about him, he does understand this club and what it's about. Hope he can continue to channel all that positively.

Wow..you must have made a fortune on betting these last few days. Still get 20% profit some places. Not a penny funnily enough. Not allowed to bet on professional golf through my job so thought it safer not to and to protect source.

Just had final confirmation guys. All done and dusted. Now 100% certain

According to David Craig, nothing is signed yet. But he just said that they understand that the new manager has arrived North-East. First part not true.

Paperwork was all completed late last night (Tuesday).

That is a deliberate ploy from the club to make us think there wasn't a pre-determined plan. Fact.

Updated info. Done deal. Sorry guys.

I really don't warrant this notority. It is a complete fluke that I have direct and first hand knowledge of this. Just to try and show you that I am not making all this up for self-serving reasons, you might remember some other stuff i posted on here a few years ago. Firstly, because I got to be close friends with the late Trevor Bennett who was the nicest man I have ever met and actually bankrolled Sir John Hall's acquision of the NUFC shares. The stuff I witnessed in the Boardroom and the Trevor Bennett Suite during that period and all involving Shepherd still make me very depressed. The second load of stuff was when I met Tony Jiminez a few times. That was right at the time of the Jonas, Colo and Xisco purchases, including that awful night at the Forest of Arden hotel after the Coventry cup game. And now this. All these relationships have come about through business but are all flukes, they could happen to anyone. I am just spouting all this because I know what it's like to be fed information and not know whether it's true or not. We all deserve better than that given our support of this bloody club and by giving you a bit of background, hopefully you will realise that I am trying to feed through accurate info that I have been given, without blowing everyone's cover. When I first found this out, it was when Chris and the team were riding a wave, back in October I think. Pardew's name had bever been mentioned anywhere to my knowledge and I flat didn't believe what I was being told. I, like all of us, am still clinging to the hope that Ashley has had his head turned by Jol's sudden availability. But I do know for a fact that the plan in question has been in place for a long time.

I asked if we could get get excited at all about the Jol resignation news and the reply is (paraphrasing to protect all concerned) that although nothing is done (ie re Pardew) until it is done, prepare to be disappointed. Sorry to be so obscure but hope the (tragic) message is clear enough.

Maybe. Certainly hope so. But doubt it because I was told from the same source that CH would go this afternoon and that wasn't a false trail. Why didn't you post it when you knew then? I did.

Thank you. Really wish I was wrong, and particularly about his replacement. Maybe the Jol situation will make MA think again. I doubt it though as all the arrangements for Pardew are already made and in place.

Sorry to say it, but you know pretty much for certain who's going to be next.

I have been told that it is about to happen. Not based on the betting situation at all. Really, really hope that I'm wrong.

I don't know if anyone remembers what I said a few weeks back but it's all being worked on this afternoon. The nightmare scenario.

Sorry for stupid question. I have a rubbish photo of the Hughton Banner. How the f...k do I post it. I clicked on insert image and tried to cut and paste the image but can't get it to work. Ta.

Has Barton had much praise on here? He was absolutely awesome today, can hardly remember a better individual performance. Hope he showed up as well on TV?

I would be very surprised if our lawyers were going around spouting the odds. If they were a top firm they wouldn't remain top for long if that's the way they approach business. You are correct but they told me in confidence onviously not expecting me to put it on Forum
