Surely someone else will come in for Johnson at that price? I'd also imagine that both him and Berbatov are on wages that far exceed anyone else at their club, that's a dangerous path to go down, they're almost beginning to resemble us pre-relegation. Hopefully Kinnear will be waiting by the phone when Artie's finally had enough.
Nice to see Carroll still legs it home at the earliest opportunity. I can't imagine how much he must regret that career decision. Yesterday reminded me of the 6-0 against Villa, what a day that was, watching a Geordie number 9 hit a hat-trick as we totally humiliated a club who'd thoroughly took the piss out of us just over a year previously; ah well, tough luck Andy.

Pardew apolgists unbelievable. Still can't believe he got away with O'Neill abuse last season.#howmuchmore?
Nice to see they hire journalists that are representative of the city.
I'm not surprised they couldn't find him, the fucking phone signal's shocking at the ground, poor lad had probably just made his way to the Strawberry Corner.
Credit where credit's due, it was pretty fast thinking from the lad, I was quite impressed. Still one of the funniest things I've seen at the match in a while, I was in bits.
What a player. Love how much confidence he has in himself; I'd imagine Demba's probably on pens, but there was no way he was getting that ball from Hatem - makers takers.
Not seen a replay of the goal yet, but it looked worthy from the Leazes. Think it was definitely one of those goals you appreciate more if you're sat further away, looked as if it was almost going in slow motion.

Unconfirmed as of yet but believe #NUFC Krul; Simpson, Perch, Taylor, Santon; Tiote, Cabaye, Jonas; HBA, Cisse, Ba.
Hopefully Collymore's jumped the gun and got it wrong.
