Was certainly linked with Spurs quite a lot.

Can easily see us only picking up a point or three from the next five games. At what point does his position become untenable? If it gets to the point where we only have one win in ten games or something he is practically indefensible and even Ashley in pursuit of stability must realise that.

20th December, I think.

Pardew in the nufcTV post-match interview. "Fans need to know...need to protect our side, massive games coming up and I can't afford to lose anybody in that game. So there will be a few debuts there."

Dunno if it was the same cause. But there were dozens of pockets of Man United supporters who seem to reveal themselves after the third goal; some left under escort and others simply refused to leve. There was a fight in the East stand around 70 minutes in at the bottom of the top tier, looked like the stewards had no control.

I asked that Rob about it ages ago, he said there might be a trial one for the Man United game. So wait and see.

Couple of times tonight where he knocked the ball past the full back and used his pace, hopefully he does it more often.

Can see Ben Arfa running riot against that back 4.

stick it in your browser and see what happens. The domain isn't important, he probably has everyone going. My point is that it was said that part of the reason he wanted to buy the club was so that he could push SD abroad; looks like that will be realised now and in the coming games.

I see SportsDirect.gr has now opened.

That seems to be the origin of the rumour.

Wilfred Zaha.

His interview on Talksport was funny, going on about how you need thick skin to be a journalist and how he is pestered by internet 'trolls' for reporting the truth.

In isolation, we have probably had an OK window. But obviously looking at the bigger picture, other teams have strengthened and as such, it's going to be difficult to be fighting at the same level as last year.

I don't think there's anything in this, to force Ashleys hand you would be talking about a record transfer fee on Arsenals behalf. It's just an easy story to write.

Dunno if anyone has seen it or mentioned it, but in the NUFCtv interview Anita said the following regarding the penalty - "didn't feel there was contact, I think it was a little dive". I only saw it twice or something, it was pretty clear wasn't it?

In or out? On the plane. That's who he had seen to date anyway.

Gutierrez, Taylor, Simpson, Krul, Cabaye, Perch, Williamson, Harper, Obertan - confirmed via George Caulkin's twitter account.

Got mine today. Designs pretty horrible, could have produced a better one myself in paint.

Should be epic, great feature.

Really impressed, for an 18 year old he looks so calm and composed. Don't want to get ahead of myself, but could be a top player here.

Just watched the NUFC.tv interview, comes across as a really nice and level headed guy.

Pleased with this, hopefully he can get a few 1st team games under his belt this year.

What radio station was this? BBC Newcastle earlier, apparently. Not heard it myself, was told it was around 6.15.
