Funny that Ben Arfa hasn't said anything... or has he? (Except that he doesn't want to play for OM again)

3-1 Loss

Despite the poll results I'm certain most feel the same way. But there have been rumours of Taylor leaving for the past couple of years now, and these only intensified after he got decked by Carroll. This has been on the cards for some time now and it's no surprise to most people that he will leave. Second that, Tron.

They got it form the NOTW and Daily Star. By the way, isn't Best out with injury for quite some time?

Dunno how much "hold" it is in this rumour. But here it goes (translated): Ian Holloway apparently want to sign Leon Best from Newcastle.... Link: http://www.nettavisen.no/sport/fotball/pl/article2968112.ece (And they have probably found it from some crappy 'rumours page' from UK)

Think we'll actually loose this one. Edit: Spotted by Cajun Cause: It happens when you try writing faster than your brain works

Absolutely not an Ashley apologist. I hate what he has done to the club and the way his action has influence people supporting Newcastle. It's fuckin' depressing. There may be truths in statements that the previous regime did not run the club in a long-term economical healthy way, but Ashley... come on. The guy's a greed cunt. He simply does not have the money to compete... nor a plan. Wisheed he just fucked off, and we got somebody in willing to spend the cash.

Hannover has just bought Mohammed Abdellaoue (24) a.k.a Moa from Vålerenga for just 12 million NOK. Bargain if you ask me.

agreed, won't happen though I'm sorry to those who think this is harsh. But seeing him today was just refreshing my memory of him during WC. He is just not right for EPL at all.

Jonas is shite. Should be sold and replaced.

Good post and positive Second that. Could have been far worse. 3-0 ain't that bad.

Hard to tell... just have to wait and see. However, I think we are better organised this season and hopefully last season's form will inspire the lads!

We'll get raped...

No. We're 11 points better. No sh*t...? you know what I mean...

Would those of you that followed us regulary last season say that Newcastle and WBA is about the same ability playing-/squadwise?

Ok, here we go. Life finally makes sense again! EPL, baby, yeah!!!

Hopefully Xisco will be given a chance this season. Haven't seen him play for us before, in fact I haven't seen him play at all, but I'm optimistic. If he gets in the player group and starts building his confidence, I'm sure he'll do better than most on here says!

I'm not worried about our signings at all. Perch and Gosling is better than nothing! Just have to trust Hughton and Ashley, nothing else you can do! I trust the club and the remaining players that they have kept, and can build on, last season's excellent performance!

No.

ban!

If FIFA can't ban the horns, the producers should mute the noise

How else are you going to put him in the starting XI? I would never put him at RB in a 3-4-3. Nigeria is getting past him too easy

why is Jonas playing RB?

I was going to say that. As was I. and me
