Well that makes it a very easy decision doesn't it....welcome to Udinese Matty

Spurs won't sit deep. They won't have to with 10 of our players standing in their own box for 85/90

Coming out with that after that absolutely dismal performance against Watford; kinda sums up the future under Bruce, really. That being said, I can't see it being the type of signing the Ashley administration would even allow, so could be wishful thinking from Bruce. This is exactly the kind of transfer the Ashley administration would allow. Cheap

I've heard Sunderland want him back

I'd be happy with some sort of compromise: "Take the kid to meet Zaha, have a chat, give the kid a lesson in humanity and build bridges" and then at the end Zaha gets to dig the kid as hard as he likes in the solar plexus. There is a point where you have to ignore liberal leftism and just say 'this person is a t***' and deserves some punishment rather than trying to make everything better so it looks good on facebook True but its a bairn were talking about. 12 years old. how much life experience and involvement with other cultures would he have had? not much i reckon. Wouldnt surprise me if it comes out that the bairn is on the autism spectrum and therefore has no filter. Education is the way forward. Always. Clearly not. If he's not had enough education by now he's just a turd. There has to be a point where you have to say this person is just an arsehole He's 12 man Plenty of decent people are idiots as kids Maybe he will turn out to be a decent person. That doesn't mean he's not a bellend now, and doesn't excuse his current behaviour

At 12 years old if he's not been educated enough to know what he's said is wrong, then there really are only 3 options...his parents and teachers have massively failed him, he's just a cocky little arse trying to show off to his mates, or he genuinely believes it and is just plain ignorant

This....had massive pace and strength but never looked like he was running fast. Forgotten how many wingers has thought they'd beaten him just for him to suddenly be there and casually take the ball off them. Some of the stuff he did with Colo from the back to escape was practically pornographic too

Well there's a head f**k and a half before you even start on the Chinese ?

Ferguson was too similar to Shearer personality wise to have ever lasted here. Paul Dalglish only ever got here because of his dad (see Alex Bruce) And Speed was crap on the left so deserved all he got. Took a couple of years to be appreciated, and I think we'd all love a midfielder of his ability in our team now

Recall being pretty gutted we didn't get Zenden at the time...Laurent more than made up for it

Never really appreciated Speed until 02/03 as he'd been wasted on left wing a lot. Even then I thought Viana should have been starting ahead of him in the centre. History makes me look like a mug, but I seem to recall Hugo being more highly rated than a certain Ronaldo at the time....and worse we could have chosen either of them

Did think the was better than Speed at the time, just a totally unheralded and underwhelming signing at the time. Was just like he showed up one day and was told to play...think he said same in an interview a few days ago

Des Hamilton....now there was a massive let down. England U-21 international, pretty good reputation, comes here and made Fumaca look good. Clarence Acuna was a total mystery though. I think of him a bit like Sibierski....no one that arsed with him signing, no fan-fare or hype, slight disappointment that a better player wasn't signed.....Pretty decent when he did play, just never really seemed to be able to fix a starting place. Would walk into the current side though. Plus he got busted while driving dressed as a pirate so that's instant cult hero stuff.

For some reason you sound surprised at the clubs current ineptitude. I'd guess Charnley is still planning on being in charge for a bit, and having been so subservient to Ashley for so long, thinks that saving money by giving Carroll a contract instead of finding a capable striker is cheaper and therefore better. Which to be fair it is...a player that is always injured on a pay as you play contract will always cost less . Alternatively this could be the spiteful action of a man who knows he has no long term future at the club and just wants to make things difficult for his successor, and i don't care what people say about professionalism...this does happen, and Charnley hasn't shown himself to be the best professional going.

Dubs doesn't like playing against these though. No matter...watching this will be like watching prime Barcelona playing against Gateshead

This has an annoying Bruce fluke win written all over it. Logic should say Nufc have nothing to play for, and Spurs have a chance for Europe, so comfortable win for them. This will be an absolute battering football wise, but Dubravka will single handedly save everything while we score with our one shot on target

Tomasson too...looked really special in pre season, then totally lost his nerve after missing an easy chance in the first league game. Yes circumstances were against him but seeing how good he got later always made me a bit sad

Distin...now there's one that we really let slip through fingers

Geoegiadis was terrible, Maric was too, but he just never really settled and should have been much better. Domi was good for us, just didn't like the city and took the first chance to get back to Paris. Odd that he rocked up in Leeds a few years later

So many players I really liked but can't remember how good/shit they were. Helder being one of them. Pistone - Had a mixed time, a lot spent injured, but then was good for a few games, then dire for a few more. He was starting to come good again when sold to Everton. Similar to Santon in a lot of ways. Bassedas - Injured in a preseaon game and never really got going. Never really did anything standout, but was never terrible either Gavilan - Should have been brilliant, and had some good games just could never really handle the physicality. Similar story to Viana really, just had better players in his preferred position Cordone - A couple of memorable goals, but other than that just seemed to run around a bit and look scary without doing much Glass - Another one ruined by injuries in his time here. Gouffran reminded me of him a bit

Could be anyone. PIF own 70% of Saudi Telecom, so it could be them as well. A telecom company would be a lot better than an oil company. You aren’t getting people buying oil because they saw an advert, but you’ll get someone in Saudi Arabia getting a phone because they saw an advert on a Newcastle shirt. It could also be the Saudi airline as well. Would suspect the airline, or possibly Sabic

He was a success and we wanted to sign him after the loan deal, but couldn't agree a deal. Think Robson was actually quite a bit more ruthless with players back then too. Piss him off and out the door, there weren't many that survived his wrath back then...only Solano comes to mind with his international duties, and he was talented enough to get away with it. Dumas, Domi, Cordone, Goma, Marcelino despite being (mostly) decent players were shipped out at the first sign of discontent whatever it was. Didn't Domi want to leave as he thought Newcastle was too decadent for his religious lifestyle or something
