If we do finish 4th, we'll end up getting knocked out of the qualification round by someone like ŠK Slovan Bratislava and end up in the Europa League anyway.

Me too. Witless giggsery is giggser than giggs. Or something.

Some rumours that Giggs scored. Oh noes. Giggs'd. :'(

Some rumours he left the ground before the end of the match.

Bit nervous about this.

Spurs think we're just "lucky": http://www.spurs.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=7510279

I was told by someone who claims to be "ITK" that Nolan sat down with Mike Ashley around Christmas and told him in no uncertain terms that it was him, Barton, Smith and Harper who were responsible for Newcastle's upturn in fortunes and that they wanted new deals which reflected their status. Ashley didn't like that much. Pardew had already looked his fitness levels and alleged alcohol consumption and wasn't keen on keeping him. That pretty much put and end to the possibility of him getting the contract he wanted and opened the gate for Barton's exit too. Harper has since been frozen out (I'm told he is looking for a transfer to the USA for a final pay day). Smith is obviously just running down his contract. Out with the old, in with the new.

When he was going for a holiday he could just tick "no" to the criminal record question and take the risk - his record can't be linked to his passport. As long as the US authorities weren't alerted he's unlikely to get turned away at immigration control. For a tour with the club, well they're going to want to play by the rules and if they didn't you could be reasonably sure someone, be it via the press or some 'concerned individual' would most likely alert them that Joey was about to step off a plane.
