Not sure if Giggs but Chronicle reporting medical has been passed

He'll be fine. Will play at least 25 games next year, whether that's a start or from the bench. Will do him the world of good, and he's only 21. Hull fans seem gutted they arnt getting him permanently, and they're a Premier League club. Good signing.

Anything less than £35m for the pair and we've been fleeced, and I want them both gone fwiw. I still think at least one of them will be here come September.

Is this serious? LOL what an awful post. It's from my perspective as a Newcastle fan, obviously being a Palace fan yourself you may view differently. You can only understand things from your own perspective? He's a mercenary c*** because he's joined a fairly established PL club? Out of all our signings in recent years few seem to genuinely work as hard and understand what this club is about then Townsend. I believe he joined us in the first place as he felt we should be able to stay up, he could get back into the England squad and we would be a fantastic club for him going forward. We've been relegated. He's in the prime of his career. He did his best to keep us here. He deserves to play in the PL this season. Comments like yours feed into this notion that football fans but especially Newcastle fans are fickle. If a good player leaves to play at a higher level or for a bigger club = mercenary c***. Grow up mate. He's a feckless little s*** who repaid our adulation and support by pissing off at the first opportunity. That too after we gave him a chance to rebuild his dead in the water England career. No wonder Pochettino turfed him out of Spurs the snidey little c***.

Seeing the coaches arrive and all hug on them training photos gets me giddy. Mental what a professional coaching staff can do for confidence.

Where's the training photographs from?

Should always be Local Hero to be fair. That's a movie. Take it you mean Going Home? Always found it a bit trite. Time for a new start. I am aware of that fact, but everyone calls it Going Home like don't they. Nah we got rid of it under Allardyce and it was shit. Part of tradition, keep it.

Falcao mk2 Thats exactly how he'll end up. He's massively overrated. ????

Thought he really bought into it up here. Then I remembered all footballers are greedy self centred arseholes.

Thanks for 2009-2012. The rest of the years have been a mixture of highs and lows, mainly lows. Will never forget his performance at the SoL in the 1-1 draw, but will also never forget how much of a shit captain he was. Right time to go.

Should always be Local Hero to be fair.

Hope so. He'll obliterate the Championship. Where's this? Will possibly masturbate if true and from Craig Hope.

He was excellent in their 3-1 win at our place. Had a very good game. His intelligence on the ball reminded me of Nobby at times. Harvey Price would of looked good against us that day f*** off with that sort of s*** crack man. Not funny at all. Dry your eyes man, far worse is constantly said on here. Sincerely hope you have no mental illness to deal with in your family. Your comment might seem funny to you but you have no idea who you are upsetting. Grow up.

Getting a new deal according to Graeme Bailey. Good news.

Probably Giggs but the emergency loan system scrapped, so we need as big a squad as possible come September 1st.

Really want this confirmed so I can officially be excited. Hurry up ffs. (just kidding Rafa, you take your time)

You've been optimistic all along Paully! Did you have a bet with Coral when it was 11/8 the other day? I have mate! I've got a large bet on at 4/7 mate as per my post in the betting thread!! Good stuff. Fingers crossed

It's crap man it's a league full of average crap, only teams who struggle are just that. Remember when we went down last time Shola was on target for 20 goals before injury for christ sake I have no doubt that if Rafa stays we'll walk it. A lot of the teams are that; crap. But I would say the top 8-10 teams in the Championship could more than give it a decent go in the Premier League. I do fancy us, just can't see it being as easy as last time regardless of who the manager is. Some sides down there play very decent football now, and the consensus that they'll just kick the shit out of you is a complete myth. Adding to that we will have Norwich to compete with, Brighton, Derby, Villa (if they sort their shit out and appoint a half decent manager) amongst others, it won't be the doddle some are expecting. We will have the best squad, best manager and the biggest budget, but just think 5/2 is slightly short.

5/2 to win the Championship. Sure it was as high as 9/2 the other day, then 7/2 when it looked like he may stay. Would expect us to win but still pretty short odds. Not an easy league by any stretch.

Yeah having him on the board was fucking weird. That full 'board' was weird and full of weirdos. Hopefully it's the second thing Rafa gives the boot (after Taylor).

f***. Still shitting it that someone else will come in. Caulkin just tweeted that the situation is still vulnerable to other offers. Get him signed up now!

0 for everyone bar Elliot, Darlow, Lascelles and Townsend tbh. Maybe Mbemba can squeeze a slight rating. (Gini too for his 2015 efforts deserves maybe a 4/5)

That's the thing. As much as he has taken stick recently (and probably rightly so to be fair) we don't know how far down the list of potential targets we end up signing as serial penny-pinchers. I remember us being linked strongly with some very good strikers (PEA etc) and ending up with useless sacks of shit. Still doesn't rid him of any blame for scouting said useless sacks of shit, like. Probably the right time to part company, club needs a reshuffle from top to bottom. Just allow Benitez to put his own team in place and crack on.
