The Prophet

I'd go with: 1. A striker who will be in at least double figures by the end of the season. 2. A midfileder who can run faster than an old woman and pass a ball further than five yards. 3. A centre back to weather us through the inevitable injury crisis. 4. A winger on loan.

Tom, any thoughts for today's games?

I'd take Campbell and Diarra.

Mackem mate was telling me they've entered negotiations for Ireland. Apparently there's a long way to go though, City are wanting £10 million plus and his wage demands are a stupidly high. Would still be a good signing for them like.

As overly-picky as the ref was, there were some retarded throw ins.

After a nervy first ten-fifteen minutes the blues settled down and bossed the game. Colin at the back and Dino in midfield were brilliant.

I'm sure that can be arranged.

Just to confirm we can wear plastic blades yeah? Howay the Blues.

Comments from some of the mongs posting on NUFC Blog.

Came through five a side today unscathed. Played s**** like but just glad I'm not injured. Any confirmation of the blue team line up?

Eagles turns down Rangers.

Would only benafit the bigger sides in European competitions. There again isn't that what the FA are always looking to do?

When are the La Liga fixtures drawn for 2010/11?

I'll have to roll round clutching it and hope the ref fancies taking action.

4-1 Blues, Reds put back in their place. On a side note need to purchase a blue shirt of sorts and hope my ankle clears up, still looking forward to it though.

Not quite sure what you mean mate? Blades it is.

Plus is there any indication at all Hughton would play Barton down the middle, does he not play him on the right?

Trianers or blades?

Oh, thought Gosling had signed with the recent activity in the thread. For the record I'd pay to see Gash carry on like this in front of Ronaldo.

Is the glass half empty on your end too?

Utaka may be off to the scum.

Should just have it on a stand on the podium.

Talking to Neil and some of my family who support Everton, he's alright but nothing special. Usually plays on the right wing but can play in the middle however he rarely got an outing there and such is a bit of an unknown quantity. Obviously they're annoyed he's leaving but that's more to do with the fact they missed out on a half decent fee.

If rumours are to be believed that sounds like what we're doing too. what rumours? elaborate please We're being linked with cheap centre backs/midfielders and fairly expensive strikers. Could easily be horse shite like.
