Semi final is two legs...

I'd go Alnwick Saylor Coloccini Dummett Haidara Colback Abeid Sissoko Cabella. sameobi Perez Think we'll see Gouffran and Williamson though, probably Armstrong too.

In the squad for arsenal apparently. I'd give him the last 5 mins but save him really for the big games.

targeting our game as his return. Playing tomorrow.

@reelM_abeid: Suite à un choc reçu à l'entraînement je serais absent pour plusieurs semaine (fracture a un orteil)… http://t.co/Mf7KWUtYrx

Toe fracture

Increased his loan to them to £3m and given up the naming rights to Ibrox.

Big bastard of a French central midfielder who plays for Toulouse, 20 years old and just recently got his first two caps for France. Have to admit he's one of those players who I got on FM a few times and turned into an absolute beast and have since kept my eye on where possible. Does actually look like he could be a tremendous player and is surely in line for a move to a "big club" in the near future. Finally got his move to a top club

Top scouting that, obviously.

Brugge.

Apart from the fact that Aarons and Cisse are injured, that looks good.

No it wasnt

Well, actually I'd have Ben Arfa and MYM in but that's another matter.

Formation alert...! When all fully fit I'd go something like: Krul Janmaat Coloccini Anyone Santon Abeid De Jong. Sissoko Cabella. Aarons Perez

I assume their ability to host the world club championship in December will also be questioned.

Returned to first team training today. Moar left backs.

Sky showing the Liverpool and Chelsea games so looks like ours will be the Wednesday untelevised slot.

These play Real Madrid away Tuesday so there may be a few playing for their places.

Needs an 8 year contract if we want to sell for upwards of 15m

Swansea won't be rescheduled. Just means our game will probably be on Wednesday 17th. They also play Everton on 30th november, so this will be their 6th game in 18 days including a lot of aways and travel to the far depths of Europe. It's a very difficult tie but absolutely winnable, especially if they lose a few of those games and have the crowd on their back.

pardew has literally hung the likes of Armstrong and Abeid out to dry there.

Not sure if this is being discussed anywhere else but a mag who was on his way to Spurs on Sunday was hit by a train and is critically ill now. You can leave messages for him on the Chron website http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/messages-support-newcastle-fan-darren-8011835

Villa, SMB, Palace, Leicester, Hull are all pretty horrific. Got to think on the balance of probability at least one of those will out-shit us.

41 mins for Perez to become the commentators escape goat.
