It's been pissing down for most of the morning but clearing up now, Fascinating Rock seems to be getting a fair bit of backing it's at 10/1 from 14/1 this morning.

It's a bit shit that these players are picking up injuries, especially for someone like me who doesn't get to watch as much world football as I'd like.

So who's getting injured tonight? I'm going with Glen Johnson or Jagielka.

Geoffrey Chaucer.

Lukaku would be a ridiculously good investment even at the £20m mentioned, if only Ashley could see that profit potential on him.

Porto up until this year.

Marvellous should win well albeit at short odds. Hope not, got Taghrooda at 25s. Though deep down think Marvellous will win. Thumbs up for that!

Farraaj was always going to win after the last few weeks.

Hope we've got a plan in place for balancing the books after such an outlay.

Rumour has it there's a goal he scores against Newcastle where he celebrates in front of our fans.

What are the terms on how many times your winnings from a free bet need to be staked before you can withdraw?

Senderos seems to be quite apologetic about the situation, I think he understands.

I could have made up some names if that would have made it better but when you only have a small number of actual names to pick from it's a bit tricky to come up with something new.

If only Ken Bates was stick kicking around at Leeds, imagine his reaction at the phonecall when someone puts a £6m bid in for McCormack, defibrillators at the ready.

Surely it's easy to see the difference in Wickham when he was bought and McCormack now. Age, potential, nationality are all of what Wickham had on his side that inflated his transfer fee.

He was top scorer in the Championship last year, and is British, and so £6 to £8 million would be about what you'd expect to pay nowadays, yes. This is just reality, because typically anything British comes at a greater cost. It's really not. He's soon to be 28 and the season before last he scored single figures, he has very little chance of improving as a player and Leeds are in a financial crisis. I think they would take anything around £3m for him and possibly even less.

So do I. Some of the crap being spouted on here is ridiculous. There have been numerous players that have played for both teams and done well. What was he supposed to have done when 16? Refused to take a shot at being a pro because it was Sunderland? Behave. Who has played for both and done well? Anyone from the last 30 years? Our first permanent signing in 18 months is an out of contract mackem who is, at best, average. Bracewell, Venison & Clark all within the last 20 years or so.

*NEWCASTLE TO SIGN WORLD CUP STAR* Clubcall headline, you waste £50 to realise it's Shola making a return.

no bid key - sounds about right.

Looks like he's had a few Guinness'.

Proper Guinness belly.

Yorkie & Shola - Australia '14

heard he uses the froth from his lasses gash to style his hair lyk.

Rakitic to Atletico seems to be going to happen.
