He's a good player, worth what they'll be paying I'm not too sure. He could either play as part of the two in a 4-2-3-1 and do his usual snidey yet effective bit of fouling and getting away with it and the dictating things from deep. (His best position imo) Or Pardew plays him as a no. 10. Where he's effective but it means he drops Puncheon who's a twat and this causes problems leading to relegation. After posting on here for a few years now I almost want this to happen now...... All this said he's close as he can be to Debuchy if this goes through. Probably his main aim.

Seen that some bloke in the American 3rd tier is now odds on to be Leicester's new manager. Bit of a come down from Klopp....

I'm guessing it's due to the Sky TV deal(s) To be honest the fact we have to stop relegation every season, coupled with that we're in an unattractive part of the country means we go one of two ways when signing players. a) We sign young, hungry players who see us as a stepping stone and replace them with proper planning in place OR b) we rely on loans and those on their last legs or not wanted by anyone else. Brown, O'Shea etc. It's the way it is now. No one will ever get close to the elite

It's a myth that Colback is hated for anything other than his ability by Newcastle fans. It's similar to how everyone believes we hated Bruce for his 'Geordie roots'. It wasn't, it was because he was shite'

Jack Colback: Ginger Piss Biscuit

Yep, I thought the same about Kramaric but he's looked alright when I've seen him

Where does he play? Off the front? Out wide?

Spurs will go after Benteke if they sell Kane. And probably get the best end of the deal. He's a good player and a grafter. If he goes to Man United it'll be interesting to see if he's willing to work hard after the inevitable massive contract.

What they usually do. Hang around til about December when someone is in the shit and come in and keep them up.

Safe? No. Didn't get rid when we did and we were down. Bruce's winless runs are akin to Pardew. See Hull this season.

I'm underwhelmed by this. Much prefer him to some of the other names linked though

Yep, what he said

Don't they have Walker, Yedlin, Naughton, Dier who can all play at right back? What's the point?

Was it me or did Muniesa just let Gerrard score that goal?

Gutted. Was really looking forward to the NETD party as well

Their biggest success imaginable would be our relegation - sad, bitter and obsessed t***s who have more topics on us than they do their own team. Pathetic thing is it's not just the message board SMBs either it's the vast overall majority who are more concerned with us than their own team. It's mental like. My mackem mate is constantly comparing everything Sunderland, with us. Every player they sign he's straight onto "He's better than anything you have in that position". Instead of being happy he might be an upgrade on what they already have in their squad. Like, when we signed Cabaye I was happy he was an upgrade on Nolan, for the simple fact he could actually run. But I didn't think "Better that Catts like". It's everything the city, the airport, the quayside, the bars and not only the football. I've never known any mackem who is not bitter or obsessed about all things to do with Newcastle - the most pathetic and sad set of pricks going and it's not the minority either it's every SMB f***er. Can honestly say I'm not obsessed with all things Newcastle. I lived there for three years, I enjoy going out on the drink there. I went to University there. I wouldn't say I was obsessed though.

This always seems to be on when I'm working. I work a stupid shift pattern like. Hope it goes well lads. Hopefully I can turn up and take a bit stick next time.

He's not that bad. Mind I watched Andy Reid, Titus Bramble to name a few turn out for us so my judgement may be skewed. Good finish mind...

Shit again from Hart

Shit from Hart...

I think we're going down. I can't see us picking up another point. Will probably get a season ticket again if we do. Probably more games I can make, perhaps get rid of some of the crap that's been in the squad for years, maybe throw some kids in who'll show some pride. I genuinely don't look forward to match days any more. Almost every week this season has been dire. Been like that for a good while now too.

As if Chelsea are going to have the league sewn up with 5 games remaining. Best league in the world though

Down unless Brucey saves us.

Most pathetic and jealous bunch of supporters going they really are - surprised there is no mention of Ponteland Airport or sugar puffs. There was no tee shirts when we did the five in the row - s*** club reliant on cheap tickets and freebies to get anywhere near a decent crowd. For the love of God don't lump the rest of us in with ALS
