Willie McKay. Say no more. Smells of brinksmanship imo.

The thing is, and I know it's been a while, but Newcastle are still a well known name in Europe. Our treatment of Ben Arfa has got some very good press over in France, with that coupled with the added bonus of having Tiote, native french speaker, who could put in a good word with Gervinho, good stadium, good fans, it's not impossible for players to forfeit the relativly pish standards of French football to come to a team who may challenge the top ten in England next season. People forget the draw of even featuring in the premier league has to players in comparison to Ligue 1.

That article lost any sort of legitimate insight when it listed James Pearch as the 16th best value player in the league. It also fails to mention how the come to any sort of formula to determine entertainment. Blackburn 'fucking' Rovers are 3rd man.

Metro radio on twitter claiming 5under1and season tickets offered more value for money than ours. safc 9th nufc 17th Hmmm. I'd love to see how they worked that out. I suppose this equation may help: Free tickets + 7 wins + 25 goals = better value than £390 (cheapest adult student ticket) + 6 wins + 41 goals

I quoted on Saturday about Abeid before anyone else...HP: someone on twitter...do I win a prize?

He won't sign until this thread hits 100 pages.

Ahh Leon. How could I forget you!

Meh, I'd have him here as a backup player, farm Ranger out on Loan, Kuqi is gonna get fucked off. Were left with Shola and Peter Rosenkrands Lovenkrands.

BBC Newcastle claiming we've agreed terms with Jay Bothroyd...well according to NSG anyhow.

Given the lack of abuse directed at the box office/Simon Esland/Disco Dekka/Mike Ashley I assume that's where you asked to be put? Aye, asked to be put there however the lack of abuse was not lacking on my behalf. When did you put your renewal in? Before 28th February? Before the Bolton game I think...26th or something. May have been earlier can't remember.

Just had my renewal/mover request processed - receipt email. L7 to gallowgate.

The lad wants to go to Spain man...doubt we'll get him. Then again, Ben Arfa saga... I reckon if Pardew uses his charm and gives wor Kevin a few hints on tips of how to pull some birds he'll be well up for it. The charming bastard.

Haha aye well like I say, you know how reliable twitter is...

Meh, once again twitter fail, but could be interesting if true - random on it saying Mehdi Abeid from Lens in Gosforth Hotel is there claiming he's signed for us. Younging like, 18 or something. Pinch of salt as normal.

photoshop job again.

Any ideas what it looks like on a fat bastard?

I'm on a trainin course right now and dese comments made me chuckle out loud. Dere all looking at me like I'm mental.

Love Shola me like.

I couldn't work out what they were saying, was it 'sign on the dotted line Joey?' Aye pretty much. Knackers.

Was there last night. Overall the talk-in was good, highlight was obviously Nolan/Barton, but plenty of other midfielders there for a good bit of banter...some old faces and a bit of insight into our history. Pretty much what Chicken wrote in the summary sums it up, nothing really more said. A few knackers at the front where shouting and balling a few times which got on my threpneys though, but overall it was for a good cause too.

All this hubub...the window isnt even open yet for fucks sake.

Looks like a template job to me.

Saw it in person this morning in the club shop window. My opinion has swung full circle...it's actually quite nice.

its next to Gallowgate metro station I think... http://newcastlephotos.blogspot.com/2011/01/sir-bobby-robson-memorial-garden.html
