Pilko

As a right-back, he has the second-worst positioning I have ever seen. Cough.

An interesting stat: One year ago to the day, we conceded our first penalty of the season. (Carr away at Villa, for Carew to complete his hat-trick).

Radio Newcastle always say "He's done well, has Shola" every game, so ignore that.

Luque was a painful example indeed, basically because i saw the whole reserves team start ahead of him, even saw Shola Ameobi play as a left winger for 5 or so games, that was one the most painfull things i've ever had the misfortune of seeing! Didn't Luque score twice for the reserves against a very strong Liverpool side and was still left out afterwards? 2 crackin 30+ yarders too Remember those, it didn't make a difference. Roeder clearly just didn't fancy him.

Bianchi.

Michael Chopra for £5m

Would be good to have a few subs this time as well.

I think if the reds include injury victims The Gambling Gorrilla and Kaizero, and Stephen who told us in ages of time he had a family thing going on, we should pretty much have the eleven sorted out, provided the rest can get there on the date.

You make one of these bloody threads every couple of days: nobody reads them

I thought Clattenberg was just suspended until he was cleared of whatever it was?

Eboue sent off for being aggresively black.

I'm sure Gomes said he thought he was first choice Unlucky.

Spurs - manager is a cunt and I'd love to see kingdawson's reaction Blackburn - manager is a cunt, they play shit football Middlesbrough - let's see what the 'best chairman in the league' does when they crumble because Southgate made shit signings like King and Alves. Also Digard is a cheating cunt

Here's the games Bennett has reffed and who he has booked. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/4145288.stm

Have Newcastle, Everton, Bristol City and West Ham. West Ham win today nets me near to £105.

Staying with a 5 for now.

Neither do the selling clubs.

Already been posted. EDIT: Twice.

Neither do I, but regardless of what division we are in next season, the man deserves a fucking medal tbh. Having to sit through all the shite as caretaker, doing training basically on his own, and then as JK was suspended he had to take care of the team again, he's been seemingly employed as assistant manager and first team coach, and he had to take care of the team again yesterday at short notice. Some people forget how hard this man must be working. Before Calderwood came in, I'd assume training would be just Kinnear and Hughton, and possibly Robbie Elliott doing 'fitness and conditioning' however many times a week he does it. Although I did groan when I heard he was in charge, he really deserved that win yesterday. The man has never moaned about his position at the club despite being given so many different tasks to do.

Most clubs have an option to buy, but this is NUFC The fact he is so close to his family home will also play a big part I'd assume if we offered him a contract, he'd sign it.

Wee Eck, Soapy, Boab, get him!

Improving all the time. Even though he was a little bit suspect today, if this was a 'bad' performance from him, then he has clearly improved, because today he was better than he was towards the end of last season. Really like this guy.

I hope we organize a behind-closed-doors friendly in the next 2 weeks to let the likes of Shola, Guthrie, Martins, Viduka, Cacapa and Smith get some playing time.
