First thing they talk about after signing players is how they will do in the derby

Draw I reckon.

Shame.

Yawn. They sell when they get value and cut their cloth accordingly exactly the same way we do. Check their ins and outs over the last few years. Keano spunked a fortune but it has been equalized since.

They're a fucking joke.

How many clubs have a higher netspend than us this summer? I bet it is less than half of the league.

Correct thespence. He is very much a right winger regardless of his footedness. Playing him left negates his best attribute.

Arsenal have made a profit this summer btw. Spurs will have if Modric is sold. Just for a modicum of balance

Good move for Johnson. It's closer to the move he should have made from Boro in the first place. Not good enough for a title challenging side, but still a good career detour that has allowed him to pick up the two biggest domestic trophies and a canny wage. Good signing for the mackems unfortunately. That £25 million or so should elevate them to 9th or 10thish whereas previously I'd have had them down to scrape survival. That said - I'm quite happy that he didn't go to Everton (which was heavily linked).

Logged on for a quick browse before kip and first thing I see ATB is moaning like fuck about our players and our transfers as per usual. Wish some on here would take a step back and get a grip.

Well thank fudge for that. Probably costing me about a tenner to check the score. What was Raylor's goal like? Over the wall?

Had a horrible feeling we'd get bitten like this.

Oh dear.

About to take off. Hoping for a good result at the other side!

Jesus wept.

Was just coming to say this. What the fuck man.

Zeki Fryers to Standard Liege.

Why you praying for that? I'd be happy not see Cisse feature at all if all is going smoothly. I really think we're underestimating them. Gosling and Obertan upfront people are mentioning?! I hope we see a couple of first teamers in at the very least.

Van der Vaart is talented but he's a square peg tactically and seems to have terrible natural fitness.

Tiote, who hurt his knee in Saturday’s win over Tottenham, could be out for a month. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2192146/Newcastle-ready-make-European-return.html#ixzz24JzvmYnK

Quote from Pardew in that mail article saying he had a good luck text from Mourinho.

All just guess-work on these line-ups really. Daily Mail reckon: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/08/22/article-2192146-14A7BD67000005DC-493_306x423.jpg

Cisse for Obertan and Marveaux for Jonas for me like.
