Monroe Transfer

They've got plenty wrong before, IIRC.

If a foreign newspaper said it, it must be true.

Someone at The Mag with yet another lovely positive article about our new man. http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/siem-de-jong-sold-champions-league-dream-newcastle/ Have I told you guys how much I hate The Mag?

Should probably provide sources more often, mate...

To be fair I think Debuchy is demanding a move to a Champions League club.

rename this to :jamouse: please admins

Only source I'm seeing for that is the Daily Star...

Fuck me, did Ant have Switzerland in the sweepstake or something? More miserable than Lawrenson. Safety

The dream is almost over

That a template?

Just seen via that CT's link that that Greek lot want Abeid for free+50% of any future resale. If we even consider agreeing to that...

I imagine you're not the only one tbf.

No lasses in Toon tops?

Man up, wolfy.

Sounds like it's Michu who is the one leaving.

Despise players getting booked for taking their shirts off and the like. Can sort of understand why they're not meant to celebrate with fans although it's not like there's a strong precedent of issues arising from doing so. But for using your top to celebrate? If you're not advertising Paddy Power then what's the big deal? If you are advertising a company, then take action during or after the match.

Agreed, although that incident did at least lead to a rule change where players can be punished for incidents even if the referee has already dealt with the event. As should have always been the case.

Didn't Pardew come out and say we're after about 5? And also that the idea was that we'd try to get as much business done before the World Cup, not that we'd definitely do so. To be fair this situation goes for most top flight clubs, and few have actually signed two players like we have. I think the two a year thing is an ideal, I.e. get a good settled squad, and just tweak it slightly every window.

Yeah, if you assume the absolute worst. As I'm sure you will.

I think the problem with dodgy tackles is that they're not always as 100% conclusively blatant as Suarez's bite was. Even when they're horrible and reckless, the disciplinary boards might have doubts over intent etc. I do agree with your fundamental point though.

They'd be laughed at.

English teenagers especially.

Diego Maradona has weighed in. Prepare to cringe like you've never cringed before. Uruguary president has a few choice words too, which does his country no favours. I can't believe how they keep playing the victim card. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12040/9363560/world-cup-diego-maradona-describes-luis-suarez-four-month-suspension-shameful

Going to judge our window at the end of it. Shoot me, bitches.
