Brilliant result for us!

We're lucky to not be behind, we looked extremely poor the last 5-10 minutes of that half after being on top for the majority. We need to nulify Howard and keep tight on Oakley and N'Guessan and we should be fine. Really need some pace on the left hand side, Leicester right back looks weak and Geremi really isn't the player to attack him, get Kazenga on!

Really missing Gutierrez, need LuaLua on instead of Geremi, he's been bloody dreadful.

"A pivotal week for Newcastle United". Haven't they been saying that since June?

Talking about the yanks now on the pre-match, obviously they didn't hear Lambarse's "update"!

You reckon we would get £7.5m back for Colo? I thought it was 8 rising to 10? I will reaffirm my point then, we need to get at least 6 million .

"Llambias says hes aware of american consortium, they have no meeting and no proof of funds..." God I hate Newcastle sometimes.

I hope if we're selling Colo we get at least 75% of the fee back and sign 2 replacements with it, Cathcart and Killgallon will do. Christ, is it too much to ask we just keep some fucking players!

Yet another player rejects Hull on personal terms (Benjani)! Stick that up your permatanned arse Brown! Cheeky bid for Ameobi now I reckon.

Is there any chance of this not going through? I mean, Xisco is apparently injured isn't he?

If the words "with a view to a permanent move" were involved in the deal I imagine Fat Ashley probably got a hard on!

This should mean Lovenkrands is on his way I should imagine! Fingers crossed.

Well it's a pretty fair assumption! However, I think our midfield will be strong enough to control the game (especially with Barton back in), and with the majority of our goals in the last couple of games coming from midfield, we could be ok.

Surprised by how many of them seem confident! Maybe it'll be a good omen like the Palace forum all over again.

David Craig on SSN: "Big worry with striking problems, Ameobi could be out 6-8 weeks" "We understand them to be in talks with Peter Lovenkrands"

Class voiceover from Strachan of the Wenger incident, only decent thing he's said all programme!

Could be good for us, would mean they might end their interest in Henri Camara on a free transfer and let us take him in. However, never works like that when it comes to Newcastle.

Can we really afford to risk Ameobi's injury? We could quite easily just play 5 in midfield and allow Nolan to push up behind Ranger. It's not the best tactic in the world, but it's better than making Ameobi's injury worse!

Is there anything printed about this Beckford deal or is it just people making guesses? Although i'm pretty sure that's what the papers do anyway...

Sounds too good to be true!

Jonas is definately out and Shola is hoping to be fit I think

I watch quite a lot of Atletico as well and I would have to agree. Although I do think Heitinga played well for Ajax in a somewhat easier league, be interesting to see if he can cut it over here.

Isn't Barton set to return? He could possibly play on the left, although Kazenga seems to have given a reasonably good account of himself so far doesn't he? I think we're probably most likely to see Nolan playing off Ranger and then Smith/Barton/Guthrie/Raylor/Geremi in some sort of midfield four combination.

I didn't realise Leicester were doing as well as they are! It's so vital we win this game to get a little cushion at the top. Any more news on Shola yet?

Wenger is now on SSN saying how this is "disgraceful and unacceptable" and the video is "inconclusive". I'd say it's pretty conclusive...
