Wonder if the shite argument that any striker would score goals in their side will pop up now.

Loaning Cisse out would leave Shola 3rd choice. Although he's been ahead of Cisse anyways this season.. Can't see him going unless they offer a good loan fee.

They've just reported it on SSN. McCormack on the move now then after saying he was happy to stay until end of the season?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have now entered the Twilight Zone.

Joe Kinnear is the kind of slimeball of a bloke who, when on the phone to Babestation, asks the lass to move off the screen when his wife comes down the stairs. I wouldn't trust him.

I would never stop cringing.

18 months come the summer since we made a permanent signing. What has he been doing bar falling asleep in the stands and talking nonsense in the press occasionally?

Nah, no chance I'd want to see this club go through another relegation. I don't even think he would sell up if we did go down as he saw how convincingly we came back up.

Can they honestly tell us fans they have tried their hardest to replace Cabaye? Hell no. Gosling back from loan and Bigi returning from injury means we have the bodies so quality doesn't matter.

Townhouse in Whitley still showing it and imagine a few other pubs round there are.

I'd throw him in rather than start Shola. Go for it in the first hour and hope we're ahead by enough before our better players get tired.

I'm not feeling confident but do think this is a score draw. We're not suddenly awful and they're not suddenly good. They've picked up points recently but I think the pressure is on them, let's see how they deal with it.

Ince will want to put himself in the shop window til the summer and hope a big club comes in and signs him on a free with a big signing on fee.

1-1 written all over this one for me. We will put in a plucky display and they will squander a few golden opportunities to win.

An offer around £10m and he will be gone. We won't get that so I think he will stay till summer. Our manager doesn't know how to use him, he's in and out of the team, in the eyes of those balancing the books he's expendable. Especially given he will be one of our top earners. Wish Pardew would get a clue and start using him, and we sort out a contract extension for him because make no mistake about it, he's a very good player.

Holtby hasn't impressed me when I've seen him play like. Not that it matters as we wouldn't have been in for him regardless.

Polite way of saying we have no ambition tbh.

He's held talks with them but nothing concrete yet.

Put Kinnear through a table. Sack Kinnear. Hire forklift. Put Ashley through a table. Return forklift on time so as not to incur additional fees. Leeds, Portsmouth etc.

I'm just going under the assumption that Cabaye will not be replaced. Bonus if we get anyone in but I don't expect it.

Remember him in that Portsmouth game when it was pissing it down. Don't think he had much other impact in his other limited appearances.

Someone cover the tea ladies shift. She'll go.

Good God man, this is a professional football club.

I like him. Just don't expect him to be like Cabaye or capable of playing that advanced role.

Nah, you can see what you want to see but I think it was a moment of stupidity, nothing more. His attitude hasn't been a problem before in his time here, it's actually seemed brilliant.
