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.

It'll be Gouffran up top and a midfield 5 of Sissoko, Cabella, Obertan, Colback and Anita.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29744058 Dangerous precedent if they do replay the game, although doubt they will. They just need to get over it, bad decisions happen.

Unconvincing Spurs. Shite NUFC. Excuses aplenty. 2-0

Midfield 5 with Cisse up front on his own it is then. Krul Janmaat Williamson Coloccini Dummett Obertan Sissoko Tiote Colback Gouffran Cisse Dat fret.

Can't see the other end of the field from the back row of the Gallowgate already without more stuff hanging down

Sydney derby in the morning. Come on Wanderers.

My first ever game at SJP, that. The week after the Chelsea semi final. Managed to meet Beardsley, too, so I was well chuffed.

Yawn. There's not a chance of him being sacked or of him having the decency to resign. We need points on the board otherwise we're going to be down by February looking at our upcoming fixtures. I hate Pardew as much as everyone else on here but I'd rather not see the club plunge into the Championship and probably not come straight back up again. I'd genuinely prefer us to go down if it significantly increases the chances of Ashley/Pardew leaving. I'd rather support a club in the championship with new owners than the sham of a club that is there now.

Take him back purely on the basis he'll chin Pardew within 6 months.
