They mentioned something about that on talksport during the chelsea game. £15m was the figure they said. I personally refuse to believe it until I hear it from 'Arry. Triffic.

He seemed alright, wouldn't mind him back tbh.

He had some injury problems when he was young if I remember right, maybe it's catching up to him a bit now. Anyhow, the LFC medical staff should have a good idea of how much longer he can keep up his standard, I just wonder if moves are afoot to bring in a young protege for him who'll be ready to take over his role or if they're just going to go out and buy a ready made replacement for big bucks when the time comes or possibly change the playing style to adjust to life without him.

What are your thoughts on Gerrard, Wacko? He's the wrong side of 30 now and from what i've seen of him when he hasn't been injured he hasn't really looked great. You think he has long left at the top of the game? Do you guys have anyone coming through or in the background to replace him?

Redknapp would've primarily used the role to fill his pockets. think we see a lot of him and his demon spawn on telly now? it would be awful seeing his facial tics advertising probiotic yoghurts to aid digestive transit. Imagine him advertising a massage chair. With his twitch his face would be going in so many different directions you'd think someone had slipped you acid.

Mike Ashley needs to set up 'Newcastle United recycling consultancy'. Other clubs can pay us £1m per player they send and they can send their rubbish players to be trained by Pardew for 2 months over the summer and have them back as world beaters. Obviously Woodman and Carver will have to set up some kind of manchurian candidate dungeon to turn them into rubbish players again at the sight of black and white stripes but we can work out the details later. We're gonna be rich.

Aye. Ive always thought that too!! Sure he was Ranieri's interprator when he first came over. Didn't he get sacked because it turned out his Italian wasn't that good and someone realised he was kind of just making things up?

Perpisse Cisserch

Tiote vs Toure should be an immense battle, looking forward to seeing that.

Awsome! Someone needs to combine that with a clip of the goal, along with every other piece of commentary we can find out there. I just went to listen to that but clicked 2100-2130 by accident. The first thing they're talking about is a buyout clause in Cisse's contract. Bastards.

He's been rubbish for about 5 years now and even in his prime he was never particularly prolific. I'm just chuckling at the fact they want two £10m+ strikers AND Kevin Davies. It's like someone saying 'I'm going to buy a Ferrari, a Maserati and I think i'll get that 20 year old rusty yellow Fiat Punto too.'

did that just happen?

If that's oldtype he's gonna be freaked when he comes on the forum. If it's not then some random asian guy just became the face of NO.

Firstly, it's a point of pride. Secondly, a higher league placing is something potential signings will llook at and could sway some better players to join you and thirdly there's about £7.5m prize money difference between 6th and 16th edit to add: as a newcastle fan, obviously i'd give my right testicle and happily finish 20th if it meant actually winning something though

Apropos of nothing, the one and only thing I like about Spurs is that if you're looking for them in an alphabetical list of football teams they're in the same-ish spot whether they're referred to by their nickname or their club name. It's quite convenient.

£15m for Gyan, mackems?

Just a little tweak and it looks good: http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4426/pumahomenewcastleobafem.png

Blocked here too but a VPN lets you watch it by connecting through London. Means you can watch bbc iplayer and download uk shows and see match of the day and stuff too.

Well this thread took a turn for the weird.

My mackemlogic thing is on there, so proud http://twitter.com/#!/MackemLogic/status/195046245121789952/photo/1

Manager of other club leaves. Meh.

How hard can it be to make a newcastle home kit? Take a shirt, add black and white stripes, chuck on a sponsor, crest and makers logo and you're done. Dont see why they havve to try and be clever and artsy the fucking thing up. All our best kits were plain black and white stripes.

I think Wolves relegation has sent him over the edge. He's questioning and turning against his deepest held principles. He'll predict liverpool to lose next.

On the subject of their away allocation, I think the council decides when they grant a license or whatever the maximum number of away fans allowed in the ground. Nothing Wigan can do about it even if they wanted to. It's be a bit stupid to turn all of their home games into away games by letting the opposition fans outnumber theirs anyway.
