Bit worried that we'll not bother with another bid. Even though the asking price is more than fair.

Oh c'mon, man. Just accept it!

Sahin is a good player. Not sure why they need Cazorla though, surely M'Vila is the answer.

End of the week? Which week? The same week as the last two "end of the week" claims? I'm spending time with Sky Tyne & Wear's video journlists tomorrow and dreaming of a dash to the airport to see Debuchy!

His second name is Good. HA! Funny.

At least it sounds imminent. ....ah right, Lee Ryder. Never mind.

Even if they reject this, I'd imagine the final fee will be close to it.

Title change to start the day By the evening, it'll be one step forward and one step back again!

That is how Opta still calculate them - a team's # of passes as a percentage of overall match passes. Amongst football statisticians, this is still hotly debated and causes many arguments.

Aye, my mackem 'mates' say lopsided like its a bad thing - it's my favourite bit about the place! We were having a nice chat - being fairly unbiased - and then he said with a straight face that SoL is much better. I couldn't believe it. How is their flatpack, plastic, replica stadium in the same league as our beauty?

Aye, I think Skirge broke him Someone should tweet him that, see what he does!

Highlighted some of the big mistakes.

John Hartson wishes he could lick windows as good as Lee.

It's sold out if you go via the proper ticket website. Ah well

Any more news on tickets for Saturday? Some say it's sold out, others say it isn't.

Seriously though, it's a great relief that this is over.

Lee Ryder ‏@lee_ryder Ba said to be having a medical in Kazan at this moment #nufc #syrup

It's about damn time, I'd thought his chance had already gone tbh. He thoroughly deserves the call-up.

Russia is already tomorrow. Would this clause apply only to British time or that country's time?

Doesn't Lee read this forum? Hello, you bellend. Stop picking on Skirge or he'll set Marley on you.

Tickets are back on sale now. Is this definitely true? I've just looked on the Olympics ticket site and it still says there's no tickets available...

One step foward, one step back.....again.

Yeh if he's still here tomorrow, we've got him for another year. Unless Liverpool are waiting with a £25m bid, of course.

It's a big 7 hours for our season. If nothing happens with Ba tonight and Debuchy does come to Tyneside tomorrow, it'll give us a big boost.
