We should try: Routledge Barton Tiote Jonas Ben Arfa Carroll For a few games later in the season. In the mean time, Nolan or Ranger can fit in behind Carroll.

Cemented his place now. FFS.

DIE DE JONG, DIE!

It's not on TV though is it?

I suppose that's why he's hiked up the prices then, guaranteed 52K gate.

I'm surprised it's selling out with the ticket prices! Was going to go, but £35 a ticket? WTF?! Not paying that to to the FCB considering I'd have to drive up from Yorkshire too! My starting XI: Krul Simpson Colo Williamson Jose Barton Tiote Nolan Jonas Carroll Ranger Points to note- 1. Nolan has shown that he is much better starting in midfield. This way he can ghost into the box and do his thing. He has often struggled when played as an out and out or supporting striker. 2. Harper is going to have to pray Krul gets injured if he wants to play again! 3. Williamson and Colo is the way forward. 4. Ranger needs a goal to get his foot in the door. Hopefully it'll come today. 5. I really hope De Mong gets Tiotalled (two bleeding stumps and everything...)

93 is a mighty fine effort. Props to you.

Note the key word: BACKUP.

And Arsenal.

Fucking hell! If we sold Barton, it'd absolutely rip out the heart of the team! He's playing close his best for us, and if he went elsewhere, he'd have to re-establish himself both on and off the pitch. Carroll, Tiote and Barton should form the core of our team for the next few seasons!

I won't argue much with the others, but if we're not going to use Loven up front, we might as well ditch him and get a dedicated winger in. Probably being optimistic we can find a step up on Jonas in Jan, so maybe swap the new signing and Jonas round and just get a cheap back up. TBH, I think Lovenkrands already fits the bill as a backup winger. Also, we could do some jigging around and get Routledge or Ben Arfa to play LW if we were desperate. I think long term though you are right, we do need another quality winger who can play on both flanks. If anything, that will free up Barton to move into Nolans place when the time is right, or provide cover for Tiote.

Squad after January if I was in charge: GK: Krul, Harper RB: Simpson, Raylor CB: Colo, Taylor CB: Williamson, Kadar LB: Enrique, **And a purchase!** RW: Barton, Routeledge DMC: Tiote, **And a purchase!** AMC: Nolan, Gosling LW: Jonas, Lovenkrands ST(Target man): Carroll, Ameobi ST(Quick man): Ben Arfa, Ranger On loan: Forster, Lua Lua, Vukic, Tozer In Reserve team: Soderberg, Ferguson, Donaldson, Tavernier and other youth players. To go: Campbell, Perch, Guthrie, Smith, Xisco, Best (all s*** and no better than our young players!!! ) So two purchases to cover for Tiote and Jose which can be offset by removing those six clowns from our payroll. And I get all the stuff about paper thin squads and whatnot, but I really would rather blood youngsters than play proven shitters. And we've still got four excellent prospects on loan!

TBH, he needs to stay. He'd only end up going to a smaller club, since he hasn't exactly set the world on fire recently. Also we need him as it's likely that one of our three CBs will be out at any one time (Colo, Williamson, Saylor) and Kadar is still not ready to be a front line CB, although I think he will be in a couple of seasons. And Campbell can get to fuck. I'd rather play one of our youth team players than him!

Bollocks to this family s**** man, Tevez & Kia have always been interested in moves & $$$$. It is the reason they were key figures in the "Corinthians project" & the reason for his jolly to WHU. A lot of people dont see the money grabber side of Tevez because he gives a 100% & kisses his club badge but for me he is right up there with Ashley Cole as being nothing but a shitbag off the pitch. Absolutely true! Tevez is one of the worst mercenaries in football, right up there with Cashley. Also, if I was a manager and a player behaved like that on the pitch towards me, he'd have played his last game for the club.

Has anyone been giving it the "Feed the Scousers..." chant, or is it all still fire and brimstone directed at those cockney knobs?

Make sure you remind people, you'll look super-clever with all the ringing Pardew endorsements flying around at this point. Aye, check out Derren brown here - can you tell us the lottery numbers as well? Aye. They will be six numbers between 1 and 49 and a bonus ball between 1 and 49. None of the numbers will be the same.

"If you think they're pissed off about Hughton, just wait till I sell St. James Park to pay off my Sports Direct debts and do a ground share at the Stadium of Shite..."

I really hope we somehow don't end up with Pardew. He is an epic failure waiting to happen. Mark my words. I will remind everyone of these words if we get him and he gets sacked in short order.

He is easily the most destructive influence on the club ever, most certainly in my time supporting the club (since the Ardiles era).

I'm pretty sure I'll stay loyal no matter what. Otherwise that would make me a plastic like Chelsea or Man U fans. Only if Newcastle went out of business would I support this.
