I was reading about Drogba in the Metro today and they felt the need to put 2 daft analogies one after another at the end of the article.

I just went to Tynemouth the last few times I've been up. Sammy Jack's has got a massive screen and you can always go to better pubs around there when the match is finished. They openly advertise that they've got the match on outside a fair few of them pubs in Tynemouth.

The fact they gave Jonas a deal means they're willing to keep players who are 'old' so long as they are good characters, consistent performers and have good fitness records. There has got to be some continuity with the side as we progress and the two Argies are far better candidates to be that than Nolan and Barton were IMO despite their nationality. Obviously the sticking point with Colo is his wages are higher and he's also more likely to attract interest from other clubs than Jonas. You've got to hope they see sense with this one though, lose Colo and all the good work comes crumbling down tbh.

He's 30 in a few days, reportedly on high wages and if he signs a new contract we're very unlikely to get much of our money back on him in terms of a transfer fee... but let's hope they make an exception and pull out all the stops to keep our captain, who's also our best player, has a tremendous fitness record (touch wood), is a great professional and seems a good bloke. Absolutely love the guy and hope he's a fixture of our side for the foreseeable future. I'd like to think he'll stay if he thinks we're making strides forward on and off the pitch but by the same token an appropriate offer needs to be on the table. Fingers crossed.

I ended up really liking the chicken like, there's a chicken-shaped hole in this forum since it left us.

Will 100% be disloyal n'all.

Fucking hell.

I think you have to have first played professional football for 20 years and also have a personality identical to that of the unnecessarily sarcastic priest off Father Ted.

It's impossible to break news on here. Particularly when you're getting it off Sky Sports News.

QPR agree fee with Milan for Taiwo!

What the fuck. Honestly thought that was your worst attempt yet Beren, unbelievable.

This is true, I was waiting for it as soon as I saw what was written.

Hatrick, Gerrard and Heskey got the others. Also remember Nicky Barmby played, as he often did at that time.

It's hilarious that he seems to think he's not been picked because of a grudge and not because he's never on the pitch.

Wow, bloody hell. RIP. Really sad that like, seems to have come out of the blue: http://www.themag.co.uk/tyne-talk/newcastle-united-%E2%80%93-one-of-the-finest/

Aha, cheers MW.

Is it that cheap? I just checked and it was more like £20. Might go to this, can't decide. When do people think tickets will be available for it?

I don't think I have Eurosport - am I limited to dodgy streams or do they show the games on Eurosport's website, betting sites, etc?

I like the fact that we've got the likes of Vuckic, Gosling and Abeid on the fringes in midfield, it's just a shame it's not the same in central defence. As for who should go: Lovenkrands, Smith and Ranger please. The others still have a role to play unless we buy loads of players next summer. Would imagine Harper will be gone too if he's not prepared to travel to away games but if that's the case (and Forster signs permanently at Celtic) I'd like us to sort out better back up than Rob Elliott. Perch is OK as a utility player - in an ideal world I'd get rid of him but we may need him to plug the gap for 20 mins here or there.

What's happening with him, has he not been much good then?

But he's ok, Randy, man Knerb Jockey. Compared to RTG! If that's the same guy he's got a very different tone when he's on here.

Couldn't resist nicking that n hoying it up on twitter...sorry mate. Same for me with Facebook. Get in, that's class.

Tit.

I can see that, and whoever said Ashley Young for Marlo is spot on. Aye, I think I put that in the lookalikes thread a couple of years ago. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/blogs/football-banter/Footballers-who-look-like-characters-from-TV-show-The-Wire-starring-Glen-Johnson-Ashley-Young-and-Robbie-Keane-article152749.html
