I'm going to this now. Buzzing, lets demolish them.

Even for £12m, I think we could get better players - or at least players more suited to our style - than Carroll. That before his new wages come into the equation. Its a complete non-starter at the minute, although I don't doubt that he'll be back one day.

This is a new feeling. Even in the Championship I can't remember being so overwhelming favourites. Mind you, we're playing against Caldwell, Gohouri and Alcaraz so its easy to see why.

If we did spend £10m on him, there'd be a lot less noise about 'failing to sign a striker'. Yet here we are.

For me, he's a £10m player. His last 2 transfers were only cheap because of injury fears and contract loopholes.

16,790 sleeps ;-) Happy Birthday for yesterday.

Got a selection dilemma this week; apart from the Manc derby all my players (including bench) have easy games. Most of them at home too. Adebayor in for Sturridge was a difficult decision though.

Not worried, certainly no more so than before tonight's interview.

I sent loads of questions in for tonight. So much so that I started using false names like Mason Trent and Jeff Goodyear

We're not that club anymore.

If the Frenchies are impressed with our support so far, they'll love this. Tempted to go, despite the cold weather.

If De Jong so much as looks at HBA, Tiote will demolish him. Thats what friends are for.

There was another Bad Romance one for Demba Ba which was class (credit goes to S.S.R.): Ba Ba, ah-ah-ah! Shola sho-mah-mah Arfa Ooh-la-la! Want your Ba romance You've been unlucky You've got dodgy knees We'll take you off West Ham As long as you're free and you wear gloves Glove-glove-glove and you wear gloves http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,76776.1000.html Pages and pages of ideas. Its an easy name to fit.

Must admit, it seems like the board are slowly learning lessons. He got rid of Wise and ended up bringing in Graham Carr, leading to a clear transfer strategy and youth policy. This summer we actually got players in early....like REALLY early on, which was great. And in the past if Pardew threatened to walk, he'd have probably let him. Now we're signing players in advance of January? Very nice.

was a surreal moment, reading that

£14m Yeah right

Lets go for this one, it'll be nice to have a cup run for once. The beauty of our squad is that Marveaux and Santon can come in without weakening the current XI. Abeid might get a go too.

Any news on the fee? Hope it isnt more then 7m

Our last defeat was April 30th. So if we get past Wigan, that will be SIX MONTHS unbeaten. Half a fucking year! That is extraordinary.

If you believe the media, Bale and Parker must be the best two players in the world. Yet we made them look completely average.

Last season the only player worth doubling up on was Jonas, and we still did well. Now we have Obertan/Marveaux and Ben Arfa too, and theres no way you can double up on all 3. As Sewelly says, he's been liberated. As an attacking force we look so much more threatening and Jonas has clearly benefitted from that.

Some other choice quotes: It's not just you that thinks they're delusional. That Bolton lot.....they're alright

They're not big fans of us on there. Barry Glendenning - despite being Irish - supports Sunderland and they've disrespected us just as much as the other media this season.

At least they've finally spent some....oh right. My mistake.
