just shows what a big fish we are when all the minnows brag about sneaking a draw with you. Didnt there keeper get MOTM?

injuries confirmed it todays chronicle NEWCASTLE UNITED have been rocked by a double injury blow ahead of their trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. On-loan Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood has sustained a foot injury in training, while key defender Steven Taylor was today facing a scan on a hamstring problem which could leave Chris Hughton with a major defensive headache at the City Ground. Fabricio Coloccini (groin) is already in a race against time to be fit for Forest, and Hughton will be praying that defender Zurab Khizanishvili comes through Georgia’s World Cup qualifier with Bulgaria, a fixture where there won’t be any love lost. Harewood was hoping to be back in training tomorrow after working with United’s medical team today. And Hughton, who is without long-term injury victims Shola Ameobi and Joey Barton, is also hoping that Harewood is joined by Toon young gun Nile Ranger, who has been out with a virus. He told the Chronicle: “We hope that Marlon is back in training on Thursday. “Nile had a problem – a virus – in the week building up to it. “Considering the virus he had, and that a few of the lads were poorly for that week, it was felt he needed a period of rest to overcome it. “Nile was probably the worst one, but he’s on the way to recovery and we expect him to be OK for the weekend.” The Football Association claim they are still waiting to hear from United why Ranger was pulled out of the England Under-19s squad for their European Championship qualifying tournament in Slovenia. An FA spokesman said: “We are yet to receive an official explanation as to why Nile was withdrawn.”

You could be right, but in fairness he has only ever claimed to work for haliwells in Manchester and has only ever claimed to be itk regarding the Sheard / american backed bid that haliwells have said they are handling. I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt until Friday. If the big announcement he is predicting takes place, I'll believe, if it doesnt................ Halliwells are lawyers, I assume? If so they'll be bound by strict client confidentiality requirements, I'd expect that any leak of client information = instant dismissal and no reference for Mr Redheugh. tbf it might not be insider trading if the buyer and seller aren't listed, but even so to get busted leaking stuff would be career ending. Only an idiot or a complete numpty would publicise insider info and for what - to get big ups on an internet message board? - which makes me think if he is genuine he'd be the equivalent of the mail boy, and therefore not ITK at all. That or he's mentally ill, or more likely a complete fake. Sorry to be so cynical. Counter-arguement..... Couldnt he just be someone whos dad or mum etc works there as is hearing the information firsthand?

Notts forrest - 100 tickets going on sale at 9am tomoro if any1 wants one id get yaself their early

aye i could guess there will be a communication as lardaiarse is back from his hols tomoro

looky looky Geoff Sheard, whose American charity fund-financed bid for Newcastle has been ridiculed by the opposition, is still in talks with owner Mike Ashley's lawyers through Manchester legal firm Halliwells. Sheard, who led a consortium that failed to buy Sheffield Wednesday, is adamant that Halliwells now have proof the New York-based investment group have the necessary money to buy the club.

George Caulkin I love Kevin Keegan, love him. I don’t love him because he has been attempting to wrest compensation from Newcastle United and I certainly don’t love him because I’ve got a Messiah complex (and it would be greatly appreciated if somebody, anybody, took notice of that). I don’t love him because he left the club at a difficult moment a year ago, nor do I love him because he has held his tongue since doing so. Before anyone gets any funny ideas, I love other football people, too. In no particular order, I love Niall Quinn, Steve Gibson and I ****ing love Peter Reid. I desperately love Sir Bobby Robson, I love Alan Shearer and I’ve got a feeling that I’m going to love Steve Bruce and Darren Bent. I’m pretty damn keen on Steve Harper and Gareth Southgate. I love Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough. I love my home. But this is a column about Keegan, who has been thrust back into the headlines recently. I loved him as a player, the belief that everything begins with hard work, the (Mag)Pied Piper qualities he demonstrated at St James’ Park. I love him because of his approach to football, the freedom he nurtured in his teams, the self-respect. When he returned as manager, I love it that the first thing he did was fumigate the dressing-rooms. After he dragged Newcastle off their knees, I loved 1992-93, when the side shimmered with neat, quick, triangular football and were promoted as champions. I loved it because Keegan urged supporters to gaze at the stars and believe anything was possible. I love it even more now, because so much of football feels hemmed in. I loved it that the glorious mania prompted rogue sightings of Roberto Baggio in Wallsend chipshops. I loved it when Keegan opened Newcastle’s training ground to fans and hundreds of them turned up. From a professional point of view, I loved it that he welcomed reporters to Maiden Castle every day, where they could tap players on the shoulder and, if they agreed, talk to them. From a personal point of view, I loved it because one of those players became my best man, even if our friendship lasted longer than my marriage. I loved hearing about Keegan’s powers of persuasion, convincing Robert Lee that Newcastle was closer to London than Middlesbrough and then moulding him into an England international. I didn’t care that his tactical prowess was mocked, because he made players feel like gods and somehow prompted them to overachieve. I loved his unshakeable faith in attacking football. I loved the headlong tilts at the title, the acquisitions of Les Ferdinand, David Ginola and Shearer. I wish that Newcastle had grasped the championship ahead of Manchester United, although I loved that season anyway and never winning anything but singing regardless is now ingrained as a defining feature of those born with a black-and-white lifetime sentence. I didn’t love it when he took his leave of Tyneside in 1997, although I understood it. In the space of five years, the club had been transformed beyond all recognition and in the rush to embrace the City, they would be transformed further. I never loved the Hall or Shepherd families, although like many people, I was blindsided by the ambition, the changes to the ground and convinced myself that the shares, dividends and salaries were forgivable. In the face of widespread bewilderment - including my own - I loved it when Keegan came back to Gallowgate in January 2008. Anybody who was present in the city on that heady day will have felt something similar; a veil lifting, eyes opening, hearts beating. It had not been that way for a very long time and this was a reminder that football could be fun, impetuous, beautiful, mad. For similar reasons, I loved it when Keegan said the following in an interview with this newspaper: “I want people to dream about their football club. They should, we should all be dreamers at heart. Some people are the opposite and say ‘we can’t do that’, but when you ask them why, they can’t give a reason. Well, I say, ‘Why not?’”. He talked about “unfinished business” and I think he believed he could charm and cajole Mike Ashley. I detested the way Keegan was treated. Having embraced Geordie sentimentality and appointed a man who dealt in dreams, Ashley strapped his manager into a straitjacket. He brought in Dennis Wise as executive director (football), roles were not defined with any clarity, Keegan was slapped down in public and ultimately left when - allegedly - players were signed without his approval. It was nonsensical and, this time, not in a good way. The last 12 months have not been kind to Keegan, but that is not his fault. When Sam Allardyce was sacked as manager, his contract was settled within days, but a dispute over whether Keegan resigned or was pushed has meant a long, bitter process. As Newcastle struggled and then suffered relegation, it was natural that some sympathy would swing against him, although he has not been able to speak out. He remained silent in the face of briefings against him. Keegan stood up for principle; managers should manage. The man Ashley hired might have been weathered by his experiences with England - I would term his decision to step down as honest, not weak - but he had always used his power as a bargaining chip (Freddy Shepherd claims to have letters of resignation from him framed on his toilet wall). For better or worse, he then stood up for what he thinks he is owed. What I hate is that a day before the Premier League arbitration panel which has been hearing Keegan’s case was due to break up and consider their verdict, a story leaked that Newcastle would be threatened with administration should their former employer win. Derek Llambias, the managing director, had already stated publicly that such a measure was not being considered and the timing felt both risible and transparent. A source close to the takeover saga at Newcastle (some doubt the veracity of ‘sources’ or ‘insiders’, but there are people who will only speak to journalists on the basis of anonymity - honest), insists that Keegan’s claim is not a concern within Seymour Pierce, the bank charged with handling the club’s sale, and that Barry Moat’s bid is ongoing. But 12 months on - four after their demotion - and suddenly administration is an issue! For all their heartening success on the field since August, Newcastle is still a club being run by men asleep at the wheel, full of contradiction and questions; a club where ‘Malaysian’ businessmen, who Seymour Pierce said had made no contact with them, can be shown around the ground, where Ashley and Llambias can heap praise on Shearer and then let him dangle. And too many other things, whether before or afterwards. I will love Kevin Keegan whatever result the independent panel come to. I will love him for reasons which Ashley and Llambias could never understand, because he gave uplift to Newcastle, hope and inspiration, he made a region sparkle and people smile. I do not, for a single moment, suggest that he is perfect, but his team came close to perfection. If circumstances ever allow it, I would love to think he’ll discuss it all. I love him because of something Robson once wrote. “What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses or the marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.” He has human flaws. He might, indeed, have material interests. But Keegan always dealt in love.
