Poets Corner: Taverniay, will play it away.

Streaking up the middle of the pitch Here man Llambias, sit the fuck down and put some pants on

'Foul call'

Really hope I never re-aggregate my hamstring. Sounds sore.

If anyone from Radio Newc. is reading this, please sign this guy up to replace Lowes.

This is fucking hilarious.

At least this Yank isn't conducting the pre-match interview from his toilet, like Mick Lowes does.

Sewelly and Colocho might know.

Side in being relatively close to acceptable shocker.

he's one of those where the system needs to be formulated around him, but he's not actually good enough to warrant that anywhere.

I wish the papers would stop saying 'Pard' and 'Pards'.

It depends on the manner and size of the defeat. If we're beaten in the last minute by a goal that's eight-yards offside and handballed in, I think it'll be easier for Pardew to cope with than an 8-0 defeat with three red cards and a Lee Cattermole double-hattrick.

I honestly think it'll be Moyes. He'll grow disgruntled and leave. EDIT: Unless you mean 'sacked', in which case, Steve Kean.

Are you suggesting we 'go compare' the two?

Really hoping that Tavernier has another good game. I've said for a little while that he'll make it.

Steve Stone?

Trust me you dont want to know. http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/photos/images/original/000/133/156/1307840292001.jpg?1307846858 :lol:

:lol: What's funny? The bit in bold is correct.

Defoe's probably got the worst penalty conversion record I can remember. Only Robbie Keane comes close, actually.

It's all relative ffs, if we were genuinely on the bare bones of our arse then that would be absolutely outstanding. We've brought in £39m worth of fees since January and spent £4.6m, roughly £10m should we get Erding. That's shit. We'll have spent £16.75m on transfer fees since January if we buy Erdinc for £6.5m. Marveaux and Ba will have cost us a few million as well (as will signing on/agent fees for the rest), so conservatively we'll have spent something just over £20m. There should definitely be cash left to spend. I've left out agent fees and signing on fees, it's only since we've had this £35m to spend that the club has suddenly started counting those in money spent. I'm aware that could be a very clever move to make us not get held to ransom due to have a large amount of unspent money, but I choose believe that it's just bullshit from Pardew upwards.

Steven Taylor, but otherwise aye. Just three.
