Can you translate this bit please: En Norwich, Jonás jugó algunos partidos hasta que se lesionó el gemelo y cuando iba a volver a jugar descubrió un dolor en sus riñones, en los que le descubrieron ganglios.

Looks like it might have spread to his lymph nodes. "In Norwich, Jonah played some games until the calf was injured and when he would play again discovered a pain in his kidneys,in which he discovered nodes. There he returned to Argentina and chemotherapy began performing. "Luckily this game is ending," he said, adding: "This is the most difficult match of my life but as everything has an end I decided to tell my story because maybe works for other people who have cancer."." Translation isn't the best, but my friend recently had testicular cancer. It was removed, but they found it spread to his lymph nodes and he had to have chemo.

I hope you're right and that it's this. I'm skeptical, manly because he flew all the way back here. Surely compassionate leave could have been arranged on the phone, rather than making him fly halfway around the world and back?

I think that's a translational error. He had all his hair at Norwich.

Wasn't someone saying none of the players knew where Jonas was and that no-one mentioned him?

Has anyone come across more information? Removal of the testicle is usually the end of it with this type of cancer, so fingers crossed for him.

I'm really hoping this guy is actually Hatem.

I love how one of the people telling him not to get involved has a twitter name of @PardewOutCunt.

If we did turn out to be true, where would that leave Ben Arfa? Frozen out for ages, but finally gets a move to a club with a manger who actually wants him. Who immediately buggers off to where Hatem just escaped from.

:lol: The commentator on Setanta yesterday genuinely said he'd become a fans' favourite. Maybe the opposition fans.

Are the Mirror banned yet?

I'm off to buy a bottle of champagne, ready for the big moment.

Pardew, Carver, Woodman, Elliot, Pardew again, various Mackems.

He's got to go after this performance, right?

Yeah, no idea how professional footballers always seem to end up with stunners. Can't think why.

I voted loss, and I can understand why some people would vote win, but why has anyone voted for a draw?

Wow! Shearer kicked him, no doubt. This is the looniest conspiracy theory you've posted yet.

As much debate over the lineup as there is, I think we'll be unanimous on who should manage it.

Kuqi up front, Pancrate was pretty dreadful too.

474 - 3 is still canny impressive.

Would it be worth linking a couple of journos to this thread, see if they pick up on it?

Who is he?

Also, Pardew's managing him.

TBH the owner would improve us too, even if he changed our name to Newcastle United Magpies.

That would make a brilliant banner.
