TK-421

I'm starting to doubt whether the Cabaye fee is going to be anywhere near £20m. I think it will.... they've already said the £14m bid is 'derisory'. Remember, this is the same bloke who turned down a £30m bid for Andy Carroll, because he felt/knew he could get more!!!

If we got one of those two I'd consider it a bonus. Aye... Cabaye out for a huge fee seems a given, now. To get a 'replacement' in before the window shuts would be a bonus. Pardon if I don't hold my breath, though!

Was talking about this at work.... I said if he plays tomorrow, I can see him staying (till summer)... if he doesn't, he's away by end of the week... probably deadline day. Looks like Pardew doesn't even know, either! But at least he's being honest this time, and leaving the 'no-ones leaving' shite to JFK.

Nah, this has got the Carroll deadline day written all over it. Just wonder who our last ditch (fake) bid will be for, this time?

Oh well, lets hope Man City turn up to this final. EDIT: And Man U have just scored again!! Pelanties?

Could be argued they'd deserve it if they knock out Chelsea, Man U and City in succession. Absolutely. Throw in Southampton too. They'll lose tonight though. God, I hope so. Even with the prospect of a (potential) humiliation from Man City, I don't want them to have their day out at Wembley.

I've seen 9000 mentioned. BBC Look North Bulletin is saying 'the team will have the backing of MORE THAN 9000 travelling fans. Mackematics again.

Vergini..... sounds a bit of a fanny.

Sunderloaned. They'll be trying to loan supporters next.

The Life of Brian one was good, but that one above is spot on. Very apt too... being at the front of a ship that sunk.

Thing is, we aren't good enough to qualify for the Champions League (or at least there are better/more consistent teams up there), and they clearly don't fancy another stint in the Europa League (Fatigue, etc), so whats left to achieve this season, other than the 'top 10 finish', which seems to be all they (Ashley at least) want?

Lovely trip by Agent Carroll to get us the free kick too. Hehe.

Looks a bit rough on this pic.... http://www.sunderlandecho.com/webimage/1.6371016.1389686409!/image/2598226709.jpg_gen/derivatives/articleImgDeriv_628px/2598226709.jpg Guess thats what a few months in Mackemland on a diet of cheeysy chips and blew pop does to you!

“He did it nastily, the boy was beaten first time and did it with the second challenge,” Nasri's father told Le Parisen. “And it wasn't to try and get the ball back where he hit... It's just gratuitous nastiness."

We'll be waiting till they come back on 31st, then accept an offer.

Not in Harry's Interest for him to leak that info.

Up to 4 signings? What could possibly go wrong?

4 pts from safety now, would have been 5 if Cardiff hadn't lost. Was today one of their 'winnable home games'?

Dear Me... hadn't seen the follow up story, so didn't realise it was a Mackem who started that fire. They have a real problem with forms of public transport, like... Moving on from smashing up Metro's to Burning Ferries now??!!! Ponteland Airport will be banning them shortly!!

Oh, my gaffer wont be happy (Brighton fan). Still, maybe Keith Lemon will veto them in favour of signing more Johnny Foreigners, and it will all kick off.

Horsepuncher is on Ch4 right now.

New Years Day could be a key one... they have Villa at the SoS, whilst Fulham play West ham, and Palace play Norwich.

FFS Still, only another point taken from one of their '6 pointers'.
