His first start in a new league, the lad needs time to settle into the pace of the league. Not a smart idea to stick his leg out at all, but he'll learn and come back all the stronger for it. Chelsea away is game that getting points from counts as a 'bonus' not a necessity, so move on!

Mostly motivational, but at the same time our squad isn't that big and we have 2 domestic cups, a european venture and a league competition. So I would not be surprised if Pardew rotates the squad and Taylor gets a good number of starts this season. Whilst I'd love to get a few more players in the door (re Debuchy & Douglas) I don't really think anyone can accuse Pardew of being clueless about team selection.. his team finished 5th last season and it's not like anyone of us could do better

Aww this is sheer genius, Lolerpool are having the best start to the season any opposition fan could dream of. Still time for #4 too..!

but early.. but just cause they put a new coat of paint on it doesn't mean anything!

Cracking strike from Gera, outside of the box The one benefit of being in Beijing.. it's all on TV!

Odd.oneliner in the telegraph stating debuchy is in Newcastle.

HOLY MOLY... what an understatement. If this doesn't get someone through a Friday morning hangover.. nothing will

Classic like.. You must be honoured to recall it..

Good signing, promising young lad. Lets hope he does well!

We've bought him and loaned him out again. Of course it makes life a lot easier than actually chasing players.

Oh lord.. I take we've not had any real news lately then

They want 15 mill pounds not euros Just a FYI but €15 million euros is about £12 million .. so £10 million might not be out of the question. Especially as we seem to be in the business of paying our transfers in one lump sum which would be very attractive for a Eredivisie club.

No idea, I'm sitting at my desk in Holland and saw that pop up on my twitter account. Not one to jump at what @nufcfans say, but if their quoting Sky Italia there could be something in it.. Anyone seen another source? Can't see anything on google news yet

Indeed it is, I can feel my brain dribbling out of my left nostril

"@nufcfans Development: Sky Italia are now reporting that Galatasary have signed #nufc striker Demba Ba for a fee of 11 million.." Thoughts -- I know this isn't the thread for them

Thats awesome! How did this fake Tiote start?!

Do a search for Ba and you get websites with dodgy records. Everyone knows he has a release clause, so there will be no end of shit stirring all summer until he either commits to a new contract or leaves. Either way, the dodgy knee is still there, so that might temper some bids.

Ahh!!! Right. Didn't get shown over here so first time I've seen the pic!

Which one was that?

I'm sorry, but I just love the "You should never have relegated us pet" .. alternatively it should read "You should never have given us 35 million squid.."

Dunno if anyone's posted this, but if they have I've missed it From - http://whatculture.com/sport/newcastle-united-are-the-champions-league-contenders-in-the-avengers-parody.php http://cdn.whatculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ArZk2vjCEAAQJdS.jpg_large.jpeg

Good ol' Harry could have bought Ben Arfa... someone pass me the sick bag. http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/spurs/news/redknapp-we-could-have-had-sessegnon-ben-arfa_23469.html

Lolopool are only 4 points away from joining this list most they can achieve is 61 if they win every game!

Another one benefiting from from the feel good factor going around at the moment! Long may it continue as the guy always gives 100%

Lolro is going to be soooo unhappy My heart bleeds alright..
