"And while we're not 100% sure of who scored (Newcastle corner headed back across goal by Andy Carroll and finished by either Doninger or Donaldson tbc)"

Riise left his foot there and Taylor made contact with the foot. Riise didnt complain and Taylor jumped straight back up after he went down ( i thought he was about to do his Forrest Gump impression for a second). He went down easily, but you see penalties like Ronaldo v Tottenham and the Zokora vs Pompy where there is no contact. A pen imo.

The boos will probably just spur Bellamy on, so i will remain quiet, no booing or clapping of Bellamy.

Roeder was meant to have brought two West Ham scouts in?

"606 gossip: For disappointed Spurs fans, here's a special announcement for you. SpursRoyal says the signings of Giles Barnes and Bolo Zenden will be announced before tonight's game against Arsenal, Whitehatlock says Harry Kewell will join on loan, Ryan is sure Kieron Richardson will join from Manchester United for £5.3m, hassanmizra has seen David Beckham at the Lane with Daniel Levy and MitchellHirschovitz says Nigel Reo-Coker has passed a medical but will only join if West Ham get a midfielder to replace him"

People probably jump on the bandwagon, Roeder said he was interested in Wright-Phillips a while back and people put 2 and 2 together. Just because Mrstewart said he was "99%" sure he saw SWP, does not mean he will sign. Also, in regards Ryan Babel, there seems to be more information surrounding him, we will have to wait and see.

Is Glen Reay in the youths related to Shearer?

£5m ^-^

Well if its true at least we have some money (£1.5m)

"Newcastle are hoping to tie up a deal for an international defender in the next couple of days. The Magpies have yet to delve into the transfer market this month despite their sizeable injury list. However, manager Glenn Roeder has confirmed that he is close to striking a deal for the mystery player in the coming days. "We are talking to the player's club and we are hoping they will release him to come across here and we will find out in the next 48 hours," said Roeder. "We know all about him and his playing record, but we still want a look at him with the view to a loan deal until the end of the season." Reports from the North East suggest the player is an international defender." Never heard of that Marco Andreonni guy and i don't think he would have played for Inter yet. It might be Ayala. Walter Samuel?

Surprised that no one has slated them for putting "John Carew may be in line to play for Aston Villa on Wednesday" http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~969113,00.html How dare they

How come other clubs can tie up deals quickly and NUFC cannot? Young announced yesterday that a fee was agreed and today he had verbally agreed to join.

"my mom was actually telling me about someone who had a similar condition and had a blood clot travel from the leg to the brain. death shortly followed." This killed the thread, pardon the pun.

When i was on holiday in Lanzarote we met a Norwegian family. Possibly some of the nicest people you could meet. When in a bar he would buy the drinks and he even payed for us (3 people) to go to a water park. As long as we talked to him about the Premiership, Newcastle and Man Utd. He wanted to visit the country and more imparticular all the Premiership grounds. He supported Man U, but had a fondness for Newcastle because of the rivalry during the 90's between the two sides. Wouldn't mind going to Scandinavia, thought i might be off to Sweden until we got beat off Marseille in the UEFA Cup semi a few seasons ago.

Shaun Wright Phillips isn't very good. Watched him against Villa and he kept getting caught on the ball and losing out in tackles. Rather keep Milner.

Pompey linked with Taiwo swoop It is claimed that Portsmouth are in talks to land Nigerian star Taye Taiwo. The Marseille full-back is one of the most highly rated left sided talents in Le Championnat and it seems he is on Harry Redknapp's radar. Redknapp has already admitted that a left sider was one of his top priorities during the January transfer window and Taiwo could be his main target. The player's brother has claimed that Taiwo held talks with Pompey last week. "My brother went to London to discuss his possible move to Portsmouth," Waheed Taiwo told Nigerian Sports. Taiwo was a target for Spanish giants Valencia last summer, so should Marseille agree to let him leave - Portsmouth are not likely to be the only interested party. A good replacement for Babayaro, but looks like there would be a lot of competition for his signature. I would also take Collins John, he is being wasted by Fulham at the minute. I watched him against Chelsea and he caused problems for their defence with his hold up play.

According to wiki he has only played 11 games for Strasbourg and Roma. Thats not a lot and would probably come and take a few months to settle into the Premiership. Inexperienced in senior football and no Permiership experience, but we need extra bodies at the club. If hes not going to cost a lot and Roeder thinks hes good buy him.

We played against Tottenham on Saturday 23 Played today (Tuesday) 26 Play on Saturday 30 Play on Monday 1 Thats 4 games in 9 days. A reason why players are going to be taken off. No shame in losing by a goal at Bolton (Arsenal got thrashed by them), its just disappointing. A mistake, but it sounded like we played brilliantly in the first half.

boguesy "what a nonsense, one win and you reckon your team's the shnizze dizelle. lets just look at the table, and we'll see who's ahead of who come May." the what 'shnizze dizelle'?

plankspurs "by the way ramage is not fit to lick ledleys boots your whole defence is a laughing stock of the premiership" I thought our defence have looked much better this season. Given has 6 clean sheets in 16 games versus Spurs aswell.

We will have to wait and see what Glenn thinks of him in training. He more likely to be a stop gap until Owen gets back if he's any good. On another note, if fills me with confidence with Glenn appointing his own scouts, apparently they spotted Drogba when he was a Guingamp in the Ligue 2. and look at him now

To the tune of what?? Don't know the name of the tune but a similar song goes like the your support one f***** s***

A song for mourinho: "your coat's from matalan, matalan, matalan, your coat's from matalan, a half price sale" Heard that one today from one of the lads.

Do you think this could have been a plan by Watford? Young places the ball a few millimetres outside of the "D" and the crowd become incensed. Then the ref is attracted to this and does not watch the penalty area, Bouazza then begins to push Given into the net and generally jostle.

What annoyed me before their goal was Young placing the ball out of the corner "D" and when we shouted (booed) the ref and linesman didnt even check. I'm not sure but didnt Young have the ball outside of the "D" for their goal?
