While I agree there's been some of the worst performances I've seen for a while, some of the main culprits are players being misused ie cabaye, cisse, sissoko even tiote to an extent in some games.

Mikes pigeon chest is worse than mine, poor bloke.

I'm going to be crazy and trust what was said in Llambias' interview after the accounts were released We MUST have learned that our squad can't cope....even without EL if our injuries are even half as bad as last season we'd still be a mess.

I dunno, January was pretty f***ing mint. People just need to calm the f*** down. The pessimism on this place is frankly pathetic. Wait until the start of the new season before chucking the toys out the pram. Although if we still haven't made any progress when it gets to mid-July I'll start to worry, would rather any new signings had as much time as possible to settle in.

Daily Mail - Torino are in talks over a deal for former Newcastle right back Danny Simpson.

Always been intrigued to see him as he was pretty hyped up, but never seen anything to suggest why. Obviously injury prone too, not confident he'll make it here. On a side note, he's a reet puff ..... remember seeing him wave to the sideline and head towards the bench when he got hit in the face with the ball, can't remember who against but that's my main memory of him

wtf is that post? It's like eye cancer, so much so it should be written in red.

Possibly, but then they got their collective arse handed to them by Villa, and served up turgid unwatchable displays in 'must win' games for the rest of the season, yet support for him only got stronger. Surely you know that none of this matters as long as they beat us? But tbf, they not only beat us, they took the piss.

Yanga-Mbiwa will be a quality player for us, but i'm not sure he's a direct replacement for Colo. If Colo is leaving you hope the club has something sorted out and he's replaced with proven quality. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m77tctejAB1rqz17ho1_500.gif

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11677/8756419/Transfer-News-Aston-Villa-in-for-Younes-Belhanda Wonder how much these 'conrete bids' are

Llambias' interview back in march suggested we were going to be spending considering how our accounts looked, whereas the Journal article seems fairly baseless. I'm quietly confident we'll have a decent, albeit frustrating, window. Although I do see one or two 'big' names being shipped out.

He's so obviously a CM, I look forward to seeing him in the number 10 role next season.

maybe, but we missed a few of them for large parts of the season anyway.

Manchester United hope to push through the £15million capture of Benfica centre-back Ezequiel Garay.

Cabaye won't be there man.

I know its already been mentioned but this in the mirror makes me laugh "Newcastle are ready to let versatile James Perch go to make way for new foreign recruits." Not just recruits, foreign recruits

I took the draw last night, but with Lampard anytime think it was 13/2

I know apparently Ashley's 'favourite player' is Yohan, but I bet he's fizzin at the clopper with these Monaco links, if a bid does actually materialize he'd "take them to the fackin' cleaners!"

Sounds great. Obviously we haven't got Europa League this time round but surely we must have learnt something off the sheer amount of injuries last season? Having said that, I'm willing to ignore that article for my own peace of mind.
