Stan Collymore ‏@StanCollymore 1m1 minute ago All I'll say is that something is afoot in the Toon. Really afoot.

Collymore's deleted that, and some stuff about Pulis having a choice of 4 clubs.

Gouffran starts = defeat.

Might hoy £25 on us going down. £1,025 return.

Anita producing a nice bit of play. Needs dropped.

That's Newcastle. Concede 2 in 8, then 8 in 2.

Someone run off those Gouffran stats again.

Alnwick

4-0

Sissoko's knee has exploded.

Out for 6 to 7 games.

Apparently not. Was hearing on Total Sport earlier that the FA said that so long as you had two fit goalkeepers you don't qualify. And, apparently, Darlow counts as one of ours even though he can't play...

Five of our players today (Alnwick, Taylor, Ameobi, Colback and Dummett) were born/raised in the city. Don't imagine too many teams this season will do that.

Worst game of football I've ever seen, this.

Krul would save that.

If he has done his ACL again, he should retire and start coaching/scouting. There's obviously a weakness in the knee that won't recover now, you'd think.

Jesus Christ.

I actually read a suggestion to hassle his family get shot down as a step too far. It's not happening. This is blatant crisis management from this new specialist they've brought in. Trying to discredit the image of bitter supporters with a real case, and instead project the image of a bunch of limitless thugs. It's far more subtle and clever than the club's usual moves, hence I'm assuming it's this new guy from London.

"Doesn't really pull out of anything, Tiote, does he?" Given the stories of the mistress and the bairn, not the best choice of words today.

Compulsive.

doesn't seem like it, Bruce denied the existence of any recall clause before the match and why would he bother signing a new deal here when he could probably get much better offers to go somewhere else on a free with the bonuses of larger wages and nice signing on fee. I met a Canal+ journalist in The Strawberry who'd just been interviewing Ben Arfa's agent on Saturday. There's a recall clause between 1st and 10th January, but it won't get activated if Pardew's still here, apparently.
