Zoggy just talked on Setanta. Signed 3,5 years contract. He's glad to be at Wigan... And glad when he heard Wigen wanted him.. I thought his heart was set on Arsenal? Crazy Frenchy...

Nice optimism...

Does he sound happy? Says Wigan are 'going to do the European Cup'. mackems.gif

Probably an ice-lolly that they sell in wearside...

And we survive, what do we do then? It looks like Kinnear could well sign a deal that keeps him here permanently for 2-3 seasons, while it looks like Ashley could be here for the long term....what with the credit crunch etc. And lets be honest, if Kinnear signs a permanent deal we are fucked. Having him at the helm and our 'sell to buy' policy, could this just be delaying the inevitable or lead to more years of mid-table mediocrity? I cant see the likes of Martins, Jonas and even Bassong wanting to hang around with this muppet near by. I will feel like giving up on this club if JK stays. Half a season is way too long, let alone 3. Hopefully JFK is put off by the way the club is run and Ashley is forced to sell up for a loss, or try to appoint a half decent manager and let him do things his way. Cant see it though...

Quick response from Ashley as they are all sat in his boardroom huddled together watching SSN's and eating popcorn. Lambarse - "ooh its so exciting I wonder whats going to happen" Ashley - "Shut it Derek, im trying to listen to see if we sign anyone" JFK - "f***ing, c***ing, bastards" Ashley - "Whats that Joe, you got the drinks and pizza in yet?" :lol:

Is that the same "toilet of a place" that your fans shop and drink in all the time, on account of your City being s**t? Aye, and dont half their team live in or around the Newcastle area? FFS!

Sell Owen buy Bent..

Martins. Without a doubt. Bent relies too much on confidence, and lets be honest, when you play for Newcastle United you cant afford to have fragile confidence. Alos, Oba gives us that spark; that burst of pace and can totally change a game at the toss of a hat. Bent cant do that. Oba is also better in the air (despite his size) and is generally more exciting to watch. Darren Bent is (on his day) a very good player and at times a lethal finisher, but Martins is a hero on Tyneside.....I'd hate to see him leave.

I was starting to open to the idea of maybe giving Ashley a chance, but after hearing this carry on with trying to rid Martins, I wont be settling for him staying at SJP. Disgraceful.

Looks like we'll be doing the usual last minute deals at this stage... Not like NUFC to keep us waiting is it?

Yeah but this is from bluemoon.. Interesting....

Bents finishing is even more erratic than Oba's!

Just seen on SSN: YESTERDAY we tried to swap MARTINS for DARREN BENT! What a fucking joke.

In terms of Micheal Johnson, has anyone else heard the rumors that hes always out on the piss and acting the maget?

As far as we're concerned he's signed, the only hold-up is Zog's move to Wigan. Thought so...

Well with souvenirs from European trips you obviously weren't a mackem. :colo:

What is taking the R. Taylor move so long?!

Coventry have signed some chap from Livingston (a LB). Looks like Fox is ours...

Im not sure I believe this. I saw it myself and if why the hell would Ashley need to watch SSN to keep up with Newcastle's transfers when hes the bloody owner??!! Must be a piss take.

I really like Harper and I'm looking forward to see a good run of form in the coming months from the lad. Very good keeper.

I like Northern Rock.....would be a shame to see them leave us. We'll probably get some horribly cringeworthy sponsor courtesy of Mr. Ashley.... I really like our current home one....just wish we could do well in it. Totally agree.

Even though it probably doesnt have a chance in hell of happening, it'd be great to get Keane on loan for a few months. He's clearly not in their plans and would be guarenteed 1st team footy at SJP. Again, not gonna happen.....but we can dream.

Harper deserves a testimonial as well. Why dont they just call 'testimonials' 'testies'?
