to give people another excuse to say how shit NE5 is

I could see all three happening in all honesty. Upson: Apparently one of WHU's biggest earners, and we all know they're in financial trouble. Warnock: Ince is a twat and if they keep going the way they're going (no win in 10 and Warnock getting played at CM out of position) he might want to leave. Noble: Zola said he didn't want to sell any of his 'key' players - for me that would suggest Upson, Ashton, Bellamy and Green. Noble isn't even a nailed on starter these days and flits from starter to bench. Could easily see him leaving.

I'd love us to get Mark Noble. Realistic target, probably available for around £4m - and in my opinion a great replacement for Butt.

I bloody well hope so, I put a fiver on him at 40/1!

If this lets Taylor in as first choice again regardless of how shit he is I will be so pissed off.

I really hope that all the signings Kinnear makes are loans, that's how little I trust his transfer nous. If they're good, - great and we can hopefully buy them. If not, they can fuck right off.

I emailed the Parks about 3 weeks ago asking for a price list and they haven't replied yet.

And that way the subs can be tasked with taking some good photos.

Well, now that the deadline has passed, I'd like to think we can agree a venue, date and time before Xmas and have the whole thing booked up? My suggestion: Sunday 18th January, Parks Leisure Centre (North Shields). Time up for discussion!

Seriously? Link if you don't mind...

Yes, it ends at 5pm now on Feb 2nd.

Came in to say this. The Geordie bloke is like someones drunken uncle at a wedding. Oh and his pants are about five inches too short.

Some people will spend forever living in the past.

He's basically played about 4 or 5 good games and got a new contract out of it. He is fast turning into Jamie McClen MKII.

funny that, i had a feeling that you'd be shit.

My invention would be to stop players taking the ball into the corner flag. I've paid to watch a fucking game of football, not blokes just standing around the ball. Therefore, at around at 85 minute mark, a tiger will be roped to each corner flag, preventing this from happening.

You've been going on for ages that it should be down to the manager, now that they are leaving it to him to decide who he wants to stay you're moaning about that. I think he's moaning about Kinnear's choice of who to keep if anything. What? Everyone? Thats not a choice, thats sensible given the squad size. No, seemingly he's not offering new contracts to Cacapa, Edgar or Viduka.

It'll be an option for us as well, if we don't want to offer him the third year then it doesn't matter whether he wants to stay for it or not.

Aye, when I go to Sp*rts W*rld in the New Year to get some new trainers I'll pick up a £2.85 umbro ball.

The only one I'm annoyed about from all of those is Butt. At least Edgar isn't getting one!

This is probably a very silly question: Does someone need to bring a ball? Or do you think the venue will be able to provide one? Ofc we might need more than one, just in case I send a penalty down to Watford Gap services.

christ... the vote currently dead 50/50 - thirty votes for and thirty against.

Where are you starting from? as in where do i live? if so chapel park, the west end aaaaaaye according to google maps it's just half an hour by car. can you drive? if not, could always try and poach a lift from someone?
