.cock NEWCASTLE United captain Geremi has revealed that he is the new man on the spot for the Magpies. The 28-year-old arrived on Tyneside with a reputation as a set-piece specialist and has already shown the Toon Army just how effective he can be from deadball situations. And, with the Geordies yet to be awarded a penalty this season, Geremi has told Newcastle World TV that he will be the man to step up should the black and whites get a spot-kick in the coming weeks. "I will take the penalties if we get one," said the player who goes looking for his first United goal against West Ham on Sunday. "I am very happy to step up and I'm very confident in my ability to score." Sam Allardyce says that he too is more than happy for the Cameroon star to take on the responsibility, as he told Newcastle World TV: "To be honest it's something I leave upto the players and whoever is confident to step up then I'm happy with that. "If Geremi wants to be the penalty taker then that's fine by me."

NEWCASTLE United will pay tribute to Academy starlet Jordan Thompson at Sunday's game against West Ham United after the 15-year-old sadly passed away following a long illness. Jordan, from West Denton, was part of the club's Under 16 squad and had been with his hometown club since the age of 11. As a mark of respect, Newcastle United's players will wear black armbands for Sunday's game and will celebrate Jordan's life with a minute's applause before kick-off against the Hammers. Jordan's family will be at the game and his U16 Academy team-mates will also join United's senior team on the pitch for the minute's applause. Chairman Chris Mort said: "Jordan was an excellent young player in our Academy and the staff were very pleased with the way in which he was developing, both as a player and a fabulous young man. "Our deepest sympathies go to his family and friends. "As a mark of respect, the Club will be holding a minute's applause before Sunday's game."

Journal too.

Has said he didn't want to sign for NUFC, only signed for the ludicrous money. Reckons Roeder is a twat but thinks the new management will go on to succeed.

That Everton match was brilliant

I've been to Famagusta before. It's the "empty city" in Cyprus/Turkey. Sure they get big crowds

Or delete the other one

Think we have that mate. I used to be on it. "Club United" was 20 quid a year and you got priority tickets after ST holders before a gen sale.

Blackburn getting humped

Beeb Grant named as new Chelsea boss Chelsea have confirmed that Avram Grant has replaced Jose Mourinho as the new manager at Stamford Bridge.

Apparently the manager, Brian Laws, is also taking fans to court now.

I was only joking btw.

Already being linked by the papers.

Man U for them on sunday too...

DOF DOF yourself.

Jumped.

Allardyce OUT! MOURINHO IN!!

This. "Bad" is giving them a compliment. Fucking shite is how I would describe them.

The substitutions in general were a joke yesterday. Something quite clearly needed changing. So what do we do? 3 like for like subs that changed fuck all.

Just about to set off. Looking forward to it

Just read that the mackems have decided to take their own stewards to the smogs for their upcoming match. Never heard of this happening before but to me it seems a canny idea. Has anyone been at a match where this has happened before?

Massimo Maccarone.

If he's still here by the end of the season I'd hope that he would have been offered a new contract by then.
