Probably going get shot down for this, but I'd seriously consider playing Nile Ranger tomorrow. Back to the 4-3-3 with Owen playing behind Ranger and Xisco could work very well indeed. Hull's defence isn't the greatest and is pretty slow too, so having Ranger on the pitch to run in behind the defence could be deadly. Look at how easily Wigan broke them down. It would be brilliant if Martins was fit but I can't see it which is a shame as he would have caused them major problems. If Ranger is as quick as he's been made out to be, I think it would be worth a punt playing him. I have my tin hat at the ready...

Everything is now sorted and confirmed. The bus is leaving Victoria Dock at 10am. Don't be late or you face having to do a forfeit.

Didn't you know that he isn't English, he's Scouse? The language barrier gave me a clue but he still played for England sometimes. What makes these comments all the more repulsive and gut wrenching is that he's a life-long Everton supporter. He's a c*** basically. Yep, can't stand him. Along with Gerrard, they're the two players I hate most in football. Pair of wankers.

I'll let you know tomorrow mate. The minibus is full but since then I've had two people come along wanting seats plus you with another two. If we can gather another five people then the coach is on. Check your PM's.

The march sounds like a decent idea that could happen.

They're in the front with the driver, along with a few other things too.

The minibus is now FULL! I don't think that there will be enough numbers to make the coach viable but if you still wish to come, PM me or reply below and I'll get back to you ASAP to see if we can get the coach up and running.

We only have a couple of places left if we opt for a minibus, which is good. If there are enough numbers, we will go ahead with the coach for this game if needs be. Please let me know ASAP if you would like a place.

Minibus is now booked. This is definitely going ahead, just trying to sort numbers out my end.

Simon Thomas, fuck off you prick! You've just read the statement out off the website, then ask David Craig if he's chasing compensation now. Piss off!

Chris Mort was good at it. He gave a face to the day to day boardroom operations at SJP, and provided reassurance when needed. Now he's gone, we are left with a bunch of faceless mute cretins. Definitely. I really wish he was still at the club. I wonder if he'll come back?

We've turned bits and pieces off to try to stop things from slowing up too much. Nowt to worry about. If the last couple of days are anything to go by, I reckon they might be staying that way for a few weeks yet.

Could be the root of the rumours and why everything could have been blown out of proportion?

Been sat around all day watching and listening to everything. Nervous wreck for most of the day but I always had a slight belief he hadn't gone. When the club released the official statement I was fucking delighted. I'm not sure how I feel now though, this not knowing what's going on is so annoying. I will be gutted just like everyone else if he has gone. Can't decide which way to go, whether I believe he's still here or not. The best thing to happen to this club in many years was the return of Keegan. That could quite possibly be topped tomorrow by the news that he will continue as manager. Please stay KK, we're moving in the right direction with you in charge. All of the good work that's gone in so far could be ruined. I was too young to remember your first tenure here but already I'm starting to understand how you made people fall in love with you and with Newcastle United. I wouldn't want anyone else in charge of our club in order to take us forward.

My guess would be Everton.

daily mail saying alan smith in everton tomorrow for medical, 3m If true... £15m for Milner and Smith mackems.gif mackems.gif mackems.gif

Payback for having to put up with Luque. He was a world class player untill you ruined him. This is a little unfair that you're taking two of our star players now. Fair enough with one, but now two? You guys wouldn't like that. We have a world-class player named Alan Smith, I'm sure you'll have heard of him? You can take him if you like, to make up for us taking two of your players?

Colo may have suggested we get him in, or at least had a word in his ear if we liked the looked of him anyway? :colo:

Let the games begin. The next 24 hours are going to be fun.

Media-twisted bollocks.

Going to start gathering names for the minibus/coach for the Hull City game. Hull City (13th Sept): Victoria Dock, Hull Ash Phil Graham Josh Rey Mysterio x8 Humber Bridge Fatwax Ferrybridge Service Station Nufc4Life x2 Daz

Milner and Smith for Arteta. Fair swap.

Why? He isn't that good. He can't cross, just like Milner. I doubt we were even in for him. I'd like to think we're setting our sights on better players than him anyway to be honest.
