What an incredibly odd lineup

Really hope this pre-season hasn't been a massive anti-climax and we get battered .  Nice win and clean sheet would be too much to ask right?

Not sure why but I keep reading "Portland" as "Poundland" in the title

This cunt been sold yet?

WE'RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE

Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote is in advanced talks to join Al Jazira Club, according to Sky sources.

Excellent, don't need to worry about watching England for a while then

Daily Star saying Flanagan and Lucas

An actual pre-season win... 

Just had a look at possibly picking up the membership to be able to buy away tickets etc, can't believe it's now £35, pretty sure I paid £20 the last time I bought it

 

Was definitely £35 last season as well.

I haven't had it for a few years to be fair.  Crazy that they can justify that price though, as I'm sure the majority will buy it just for the potential to buy the away tickets.

Everton are trying to get 50 million for John Stones, so hopefully a sizeable chunk of that can be spent on Wijnaldum

As if the commentators are discussing whether the tackle was pre-planned

Never heard of him. Hope he's good.

On the Mail site so make of it what you will:

Santon deal nearing completion

SIMON JONES: Former Newcastle full-back Davide Santon is on the verge of move to their great rivals Sunderland.

A fee, thought to be in the £3.5million region, and personal terms have been agreed with just a medical pending.

The 25-year-old has been the subject of an offer from Crystal Palace but believes he may have greater first team opportunities at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland have a limited budget and have also been in talks with Tottenham over a fresh deal for right-back DeAndre Yedlin.

An outrage Squires was left out of the Queen's latest honours list, although he should be a dead cert now, truly superb

Ta ra Moussa, leave the door open for a few of the others to go with you

Dropped

Unreal

Yellow ticker on SSN, "Mike Ashley has met with Rafa".  What a bombshell...

If this isn't Taylor's last game I think I'm done

This cunt still breathing?

Fuck off Everton

Matter of time until the mackems get a goal here
