Varadi

Seeing the benefits of this appointment already: http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php Top of the league again!

that was one of the stories, as was the theory that varadi had been shagging keegans Mrs (unlikely if you saw Mrs Varadi), more likely was the idea that we had a little lad called beardsley coming in. Aye, the arrival of Beardsley did help the recovery process! Easy to forget you only had 1 sub in those days so there wasn't much point keeping someone who wasn't going to be a regular 1st choice.

Mine was the chap I picked for my username - was our number 9 when I first started going to the match and scored a canny amount of goals in a pretty shit team (just checked wiki, 39 goals in 81 games - not bad) Remember being really upset when he was sold, had a theory that Keegan was pissed off at being outscored by him in his first season here and insisted on him being moved on - wasn't KK's biggest fan for a little while after that!

If the crowd for once were allowed to see some offensive and positive football with movement from the start then im sure the atmosphere would come along with it. But to answer your question, yes, it will be dogshit. Absolutely - if we start off positively and get at them the crowd will respond, but if it's more aimless dogshit then it could turn pretty ugly quite quickly I reckon.

Look at the poll man, 83% brilliant, 15% good. That's only 16 months ago!

I managed to buy 3 together in the Gallowgate on Wednesday, seems sales might be a bit sluggish for this one.

I'm going to this one - only get over to the UK a couple of times a year so have to take any chances I get. On a positive note my last home match was Chelsea...

Agree with that. 2 very big home games for Mr Pardew.

Hopefully he's on his way to Dignitas.

From nufc.com: Arrivals: Movement Less than two weeks before the transfer window closes - and boosted by an influx of funds from the expected sale of Yohan Cabaye - we understand that NUFC officials are currently overseas, concluding permanent deals to sign two players. More as we get it...

tbf even a pea-sized heart is big enough coming on 3-0 up at home against a demoralised 10 men. Don't blame Cabaye at all for wanting to leave - our only chance of keeping him was investment of a level that would show our ambition matched his, at the age he is now this is his last real chance of a move to a CL team. The real concern is that we'll sell and "not have time" to spend the cash - 20 million is only a decent deal if we spend it.

Just realised it's the Community Shield today. Think I'll stick with the cricket tbh.

Sounds like I made the right decision to give this one a miss. And I say that as someone currently watching a game show hosted by puppets.

Our Director of Football sadly.

Thought about going to this - usually like to take in some pre-season games to get a look at the new signings. So I'm not.

I'm hearing we made them look ordinary at times. Word is some of our passing was excellent

Fucking Shola man

Leave Jonas alone!

If we buy Downing what's the odds Liverpool replace him with Ince?

Excellent signing.

Be very pleased if we can seal the deal on this one - exactly the type of player we needed.

Is that even a real article? Reads like something from the Daily Mash.

Latest in the Chronicle does seem to suggest all is not well on the JFK front: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/crunch-time-joe-kinnear-newcastle-5581139? I'm shocked.

I agree there are some concerns about whether he's the type of player we need, but Darren Bent is certainly not "fucking shit"

Shola not even on the bench? Glad I didn't go now.
