TOON IN CHEEKY LOAN OFFER TO FERGIE Magpies ask for Macheda in exchange for Taylor By Martin Hardy, 12/12/2009 NEWCASTLE have asked Manchester United about a shock loan swap that would see defender Steven Taylor exchanged for hitman Federico Macheda. Toon bosses are worried about their striking options for the remainder of the season, as the club attempt to make an immediate return to the Premier League. Central defender Matthew Kilgallon is expected to move to Newcastle next month from Sheffield United. That would allow the Toon to loan 23-year-old Taylor to United - who are in need of temporary defensive cover - with Macheda heading in the opposite direction. Forward Marlon Harewood will return to Nottingham Forest this month after failing to impress during his loan spell at St James' Park - and Shola Ameobi is considering going to the African Cup of Nations with Nigeria. That leaves Newcastle with one experienced striker in Peter Lovenkrands plus rookies Andy Carroll and Nile Ranger. Italian Macheda, 18, is viewed as a scorer of real promise and is rated highly by Newcastle's staff, who believe he could hit a hatful in the Championship.

Pacquiao set for 'toughest test' WBO WORLD WELTERWEIGHT TITLE: Miguel Cotto v Manny Pacquiao Venue: MGM Grand, Las Vegas Date: Sunday, 15 November (Fight expected to begin about 0200 GMT) Coverage: Sky Sports 1 Manny Pacquiao says his bout with Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas on Saturday will be "his toughest test as a professional boxer". The Philippine superstar, 30, is challenging Puerto Rico's Cotto for his WBO welterweight belt, but at a contracted weight of 145lb. Cotto, 29, was right on the limit at Friday's weigh-in, while Pacquiao weighed in just one pound lighter. Pacquiao is favourite to beat Cotto and become a five-weight world champion. An estimated 6,500 fans turned out to see the two men take to the scales at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, with most of them pulling for Pacquiao, who is generally regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. "This will be my toughest test as a professional boxer," said southpaw Pacquiao, who knocked out Britain's Ricky Hatton in two rounds in May. "I know he [Cotto] is an excellent, smart fighter and a great world champion. We also know he is good in body punching so I have to counter that. I am prepared for anything he has to offer, I feel like I know him like I know myself." Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach believes Cotto, a former light-welterweight world champion, will go the same way as Hatton. "I have never seen my fighter looking better," he said. "I respect Miguel, but he'll get knocked out in this one. I just think Miguel Cotto's defence isn't good enough. He's hittable and people that Manny can hit, he knocks out." However, Cotto, who has 34 wins from 35 fights, is confident he will have too much strength and too much power for Pacquiao (49-3-2), who is fighting at welterweight for the first time in his career. "Forget about Freddie Roach, he can only train Manny the best he can," said Cotto, who won the vacant WBO belt with a five-round stoppage of Chorley's Michael Jennings in February. "It is just Manny and Miguel Cotto in the ring and my strength will be too much for him on Saturday." Cotto has failed to shake off the perception in some quarters that his beating at the hands of Antonio Margarito last July (the Mexican was subsequently banned after illegal wraps were discovered on his hands prior to his fight with Shane Mosley) has rendered him damaged goods. But legendary trainer Angelo Dundee is one observer who believes Cotto has the tools to spring an upset. "If I ever had a fighter fighting Pacquiao, I would implement the things that Cotto brings to the table," said Dundee, who handled Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard among many others. "Cotto is a pressure fighter and he's going to be on Pacquiao from the get-go. He's got a great left hook and he's a good body puncher. "Pacquiao takes it to you all the time but in this fight he is going to have to back up. He's smart, slick and has great hand speed, but Cotto counters those things."

Happy Birthday dude

Count me in, finances depending of course.

some kind of helmet helmet is required Get yourself on Dragons Den! Don't normally watch it but I would watch that one I'm in

or a dislocated shoulder but some manage it

some kind of helmet helmet is required

the only swearing in the whole film and it has to come from him ! The only silver lining is that it's the worst film ever made

I watched the fight via download yesterday and I honestly think Haye was fortunate the get the decision, the fight barely deserved a winner, Valuev plodding forward and Haye on the backfoot throwing minimal punches, although the best man should win, I have always felt in the back of my mind you should give a champion a beating before you take his title, and this wasn't it. I'm happy Haye won, it was a moral victory for all those times Valuev has been gifted a hometown decision, but I think Haye was a lucky boy.

Brilliant news ! congratulations !!!!

I'm with you there, William oh totally !

This fight is totally down to Haye's tactics, if he gets all brash and macho he'll get stopped, he needs to box carefully and pick Valuev off, if he does he'll win but remember this fight is in Germany, the bias to Valuev is incredible, just as Holyfield found out, he might win the fight but he might not get the decision if it goes the distance. As they say, he might need to knock him out to get a draw

Good choices ! I know I will get slaughtered but I would add Fearne Cotton to that list too

Newcastle stadium name change: Goodbye St James' Park, hello adidas Arena Sportswear giants adidas lead the chase to win the renaming rights at Newcastle’s famous St James’ Park. The German firm, already the Magpies’ kit suppliers, want to rebrand the 52,000-seat stadium as the adidas Arena. And to win over unfavourable public opinion on Tyneside, adidas are considering naming one of the stands after Geordie legend Sir Bobby Robson. It is understood that with Newcastle’s kit deal up for renewal next summer, adidas are in prime position to negotiate a double deal that could earn the club up to £20million. Bosses at adidas’s German headquarters have drawn up a feasibility study for what will be a controversial renaming of the ground. A German source said: “adidas feel they are in prime position to win the naming rights as they have a long and proven relationship with Newcastle. But they are aware that there is hostility to changing the name and know they will have to tread carefully.”
