Pilko

His arse is stuck down the back of his seat on the bus.

I highly doubt he'll hoy Cabella in so quickly, particularly after talking about how his fitness is short. His bestest workhorse Gouffran will be in there somewhere, no danger.

Hopefully Sissoko can find some fitness and form. He's looked absolutely miles short thus far.

Strong team. Colback starting every frigging game hopefully not a sign of things to come. Prefer Anita.

Campbell, Vuckic, Armstrong, Bigirimana, Streete, Ferguson, Ben Arfa and Satka all played for the reserves yesterday. For some of them it'd be their fourth appearance in as many days!

3rd game in 4 days

Reminds me somewhat of Kinnear's late January bid of £8m for Michael Johnson in 2008/09. Imagine how that would have turned out.

Good move for Best that is.

11pm announcement. Probably.

Risky, but they probably need to take the odd risk.

Seems like a canny deal. Good foresight.

Can we change yours to 'Taylor is shit', in an equal show of support?

Happy with the signing, but wish we would only loan the goalie back out.

Ken Darlow Hearing that we're after promising youngster Dale Platt anarl.

Never mind loaning the centre-back straight out again, if he's worth a few million he has to be good enough to get in front of the current shithouses playing there.

Signing a centre-back? Hot damn.

He's been 5 or 6 out of 10 in every single game. He's a Pardew player alright.

He showed about the same amount of end product in that match as we've seen from Sammy in his entire NUFC career.

Cabella MOTM? Harsh on Aarons.

Been impressive all pre-season and really arrived today. Fantastic performance.

Had to fucking ruin it didn't we.

Some of Schalke's crosses today wouldn't trouble Warwick Davis at centre-half. It's been like watching our crossing at times
