Grant Wahl just tweeted this: This could get interesting. Edit: Followed it with this:

I'm sure everyone on this board has a lot of pity for Arsenal's trophy "drought." Twitter's servers would crash if people started listing things that have happened since Newcastle last won something.

I think it's pretty clear Barton wants to play and Pardew wants to play him. Just a question of whether or not he's allowed as pathetic as that sounds.

Yeah, that certainly doesn't mean he's playing. I think he will though.

He will score against you tomorrow. Very likely. Luckily it's probably just as likely he fails his fitness test. Fingers crossed.

Was hoping there would be some details on what the deal was.

Given, Ruddy Kompany, Bosingwa, Enrique, Smalling, Taylor N'Zogbia, Downing, Dempsey, Jarvis, Sessegnon Rooney, Gervinho, Ba Undecided if it's pretty decent or completely shit. Want Foster over Given, but don't like their start to the season.

Maybe I'm being blind by not seeing this, but has anyone posted this or the Chronicle article? Don't see it on the Chronicle site.

Luiz is out. Think it will be Terry, Alex, Cole, and Bosingwa.

:lol:

He's cycled off the juice in time for the season.

I thought season ticket sales were high because of the 10 year deal. Pretty sure someone posted an article about that in the last few days.

Have to be optimistic before the season starts otherwise what's the point. I genuinely believe what I said above though.

Assuming we don't do something utterly insane like sell Tiote or Colo on deadline day then I think we're going to surprise a lot of people.

No idea how they will be able to build a stadium. I saw they had upper Manhattan as one of four potential sites remaining. Not a fucking chance in hell. Queens is the best bet.

And that the new players actually materialize and are players we actually want. It's pointless if we end up panic buying garbage.

Could do without the v neck but don't mind the old school collar. I was focused more on the inclusion of more than two stripes as well as no patch on the back.

This sounds familiar. I'm expecting a ₤35m bid in January.

Couple things from the Sheffield Wed.-Blackpool match... Why couldn't Puma give us a shirt like Wednesday's? Would look great in B+W. It's depressing looking at Hillsborough with so many empty seats. They deserve better.

Gash - I've seen so many conflicting reports. Who is actually out/doubtful/likely to play even though they have some sort of injury?

Agree with this, but Liverpool will definitely make a push. I'll be pulling for Spurs out of those three.

This is a level of optimism that I just can't bring myself to.

Poor ball from Donovan there. Should have had him in on goal.

Don't knock Jersey.
