Momentum has completely shifted, all Burnley...

Fail to see it, Rafa clearly doesn't want or rate him so may as well send him out on loan and get someone else in (fingers and all other limbs crossed) who he will play instead.

DailyMail reporting Slimani to West Ham, another striking option off the agenda.

He was training with the kids and didn't have a squad number, so they probably forgot

Chronicle quoting AS as saying Bilbao are attempting to negotiate a deal but Rafa trying to block it.. "Athletic is still very interested in the acquisition of Mikel Merino, but Rafa Benítez is trying to stop a negotiation. The club negotiates for the midfielder of Newcastle and go with everything, although the dates reduce the margin to sign a substitute in the British club. It is the third attempt of the club for the versatile midfielder, who can also play in central midfield. Benitez stepped in and said: “There’s nothing, you’re not going anywhere.”" - From: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-deadline-day-live-14222550

Surely not even we are that daft, we can't be looking to offload so soon.... A player can be registered for up to three clubs per season, but only play for two in competitive matches. He's played for us, did he play beforehand though is the question?

At what point do we start taking volunteers from the crowd as a serious option...

Jeez... we've been Pardewed..

They've kept quiet on the obligatory buy-back clause.

Going to finish 4-4. Well there's half the prediction

The cynic in me agrees, but there is no way MA is that clever...

Come on lets get another!

Where did the ITK's say Saturday or the 6th? Must have missed that amid the pantalaimon conquest of the universe...

Makes you wonder doesn't it... These pantalaimon avatars, gonna be seeing pine martens all day now aren't we

I like the cut of this fellow’s jib! Indeed - he's put together a pretty well thought out article and connected some very public dots (Companies House and all) that our local rag seems to have missed. IF he's right and this is a holding company for transferring an asset then it's damn good news. What are the odds though that Stavely is getting things ready now - incase this goes down to the wire of the final few days of January and wants to be in a position to transfer the club and push through some players.

Manquillo with a tactical foul there...

Atsu with a decent run there...

Worse than Gayles!

Rafa stumbled on the 11 keepers strategy...

Yep: Fuming. We only like our own. Infact its an NE post code or bust. Yep: Fuming. Yup, it just makes it all the sweeter!

Rooney's was last game too. Somehow we're the ones who finished one of these games with 10 men Yup, elbows flying and ref barely bats an eyelid.

In all fairness were also not getting much out of the ref, was a studs up challenge on Perez (who obviously went down) but could have been a foul

Ritchie has been appalling all game

Yedlin marking.. or not marking

Atrocious defending that. Was a long ball to right back and then crossed in. Yedlin should have covered the initial pass, followed by the centre backs not marking up...
