If he's having a medical now, then I hope to god we've got a replacement signed, sealed and all but delivered. I have no problem with him leaving provided cover comes in. Without that, we're shooting ourselves in the foot.

That's your opinion of us is it, below Spurs? They can offer European Football, we can't. It's more world opinion rather than mine.

I'd love to see him here, but at £20m it would smack of being a panic buy. Seems like a really good player though, and if we could negotiate a decent deal and if we got £10m from Milner then it might be something we could look at. Whether he'd lower himself to us or not is another matter, but he's already lowered his sights from Barca to Spurs, so it's not much further to lower them to us.

Valencia. Failing that, SWP. Fuck it, anyone who's decent. Don't really care who they are or if I've heard of them just so long as they're top class.

I wouldn't be averse to that tbh. Get a quality attacking midfielder in and Milner can gtf.

Lennon is just a sprinter who plays a bit of football. Technically he's terrible, less end product than Milner. I'd not pay £10 for Lennon, nevermind £10m.

Don't let him leave until we have a replacement. Get SWP in or someone of that calibre then let him fuck off to whatever shithole of a club he wants to go to provided they pay every penny that we want for him.

Looked good last night, but as others have already said it was against very mediocre opposition. Give him another 5-10 games in the Premiership and I'll give you a better opinion.

Yeah, fantastic through ball with the outside of the left foot over the top of the defence to play him in on goal. Whilst Enrique was far from perfect today, I thought he had a very good game and think he should be at left back from now on. Hopefully Keegan will see the same positves and will move Charlie up the pitch and bring Jose in at the back. I'd score it as follows: Given: 6 - Made a couple of decent saves but didn't have a lot to do. Hard to fault him for either goal Enrique: 8 - Thought he played really well, did some good stuff going forward and in defence Beye: 6 - He's played a lot better for us Bassong: 7 - Composed, played a good game Coloccini: 7 - Decent performance Butt: 7 - I'm not his biggest fan and think generally he should be dropped but he played well tonight, broke up a lot of their attacks Guthrie: 6 - Tidy, looked quick across the ground. Unspectacular though Geremi: 5 - Nothing terrible, but he's got no pace and can't beat a man. Offered very little going forward Gutierrez: 7 - Energetic, ran round a lot but didn't do anything spectacular. Decent performance though Milner: 8 - Lots of energy, played well Charlie: 8 - Looked threatening whenever he got the ball Owen: 7 - Looked sharp. Scored a good goal with his only real chance but linked up well with other players and looked to have some pace as well. Overall, I enjoyed the game. Sure they scored a couple of goals with their rare forays into our half but you always run the risk with Keegan's sides that this may happen. It's just nice to see us go out to create rather than to destroy.

You must have been quite eagle-eyed to spot him. I expected that he'd be looking quite rough as it must take a lot of drive to stay in shape when you're not putting on a football top every week. I'll get my coat.

The guy who played the right footed Ginola LW for Newcastle. Ginola doesn't really count, he was genuinely 2-footed. I've seen him take corner kicks with both feet before, not many players are good enough with their weaker foot to do that.

I would prefer Valencia over Malouda. 5 years younger, can play on the right which is where we're weaker IMO. Maybe Saviola is being looked at as a replacement for Owen? After all, I don't think Mickey is going to sign a new contract (Would love to be proven wrong though) so we're going to lose him sooner or later.

Got to go down the other end and get one now, capitalise on this.

Saved!

Get in!!

Fucking hell.

Keegan will hopefully get them firing at half-time. Bolton offer little or nothing going forward (Primarily because they're not going forward) so I'm sure Keegan will tell the lads to just fun at them. Hate teams playing so negatively, so hope Bolton get the stuffing that their 'tactics' so richly deserve.

FFS, finally managed to find a radio here but can't get any reception on MW where I'm sat. So I've got the radio propped up on it's corner and I can just about make out what the commentators are saying, but it's frankly awful and verging on unintelligible. Still, better than nothing. 'MON!

Only works if you are in Newcastle i think, it definately doesnt work outside of Newcastle. NUFC TV is the best place for it. I'm in Newcastle, so should be OK. Only problem is it's a work PC so it may be through all kinds of proxies etc so may not flag as being where it's supposed to be. NUFC TV is chargeable, is it not? Just type in BBC radio newcastle and click listen live at the side programme starts at 2 Can't get it to work. Found the right link and everything but when I click "Listen live" I get errors. Same with if I launch the stand alone player. Never mind, just have to do without I guess. That, or go and sit in my car for 2 hours. I reckon I could get away with that, take my mobile with me and if anyone needs me I'll pop back in!

Haven't read all 11 pages so sorry if this is already mentioned, but is there anywhere with a (legal) radio stream for UK users? I'm stuck at work and have brought the wrong headphones for my radio. Gutted.

Apparently if they can't get the permit the deal's off. Can't see it not going through like, but weird how he has to reapply after 3 years in the prem. Does this mean that say if Martins was to give up playing for Nigeria we'd not be able to sell him to anyone else in England, or even Europe? No because he's got an Italian passport since he lived there for 7 years or so. As for Faye, you have to re apply for every move, its normal practise. You even have to reapply if you sign a new contract with your existing club. Anyway, Abdoulaye will be fine I'm sure as you need to play something like 75% of your national team's matches in the previous 2 years, which I'm sure he has, in order to get a work permit without an appeal. Even if he didn't meet that, it then goes to an appeals panel who would look at his individual case and I'm sure that he'd be fine on that score as well, having played a consistently high number of matches (when available) in the Premier League over the last few years.

Sunderland have made some good signings and I predict it will be difficult for us to beat them this year. That's a shame, as they deserve to be thrashed roundly every time they take the field.
