He deserves a chance tbh even if it is to put his face in the window. We should batter them tonight like.

Decent side out tonight in a 4231 system. ------------------------Krul Debuchy---M'Biwa---Coloccini---Dummett ------------------Anita----Tiote ---Ben Arfa--------Gosling----------Sameobi ------------------------Cisse Bench: Alnwick, Santon, Williamson, Streete. Newton, Richardson, Vuckic, Gouffran and Campbell.

That looks beautiful.Swap Gouffran for either Remy or Gomis and i'd be very fuckin happy with that. The bench would be decent too.

Yes!Relying on Debuchy and Santon to provide width. Thats how i'd like to see us go but i dont think Pardew wants to go 433 or 4231 this season.Thing is we dont have the sqaud to set up 442...baffling.

New lads?

Fuckin idiot

I still don't get all this moaning about the kits. I like it. Besides...wearing it is support of OUR club. It shouldn't really matter what it looks like. A bit of perspective needed.

No Anita, Tiote, Ben Arfa or Cisse. What has happened to Obertan?

Presuming we only sign Gomis and Remy. ----------------------Krul Debuchy---Taylor---Colo---Santon -------Cabaye---Tiote---Sissoko -----Ben Arfa---Cisse---Gomis Pretty fuckin tasty first 11. ---------------------Elliott Santon---Mbiwa---Willo---Haidara -------Jonas---Anita---Marveux -----Gouffran---Shola---Remy That a decent 2nd team without having to use the likes of Alnwick, Tavernier, Streete, Mbabu, Satka, Dummett, Newton, Bigi, Abeid, Vuckic, Inman, Richardson, Sameobi or Campbell. When you look at it...with two new strikers we have a pretty solid squad and a very good pool of youth coming through. Edit: You could also add Obertan, Raylor and Gosling to the senior pool too.

He is struggling to breath. Shirts the wrong size

Ice baths are proven to speed up recovery times. We used to use wheely bins with shit loads of ice cubes and water. Shouldn't cost too much.

I work with his mate who says he actually needs help. What a knob

I actually really like it! Reckon they will also release a black Wonga shirt as another option? Like they did with the gold touch 2 year ago? Seems odd puma to release images of it otherwise. Either way I think people's negative reaction to it to be fickle. It's a nice shirt.

In the space of 5 mins SkySportsNews has said we have made a bid of 6.9mil for Gomis and a season long loan deal for Remy. Presuming the latter will be due to the rape charge. Imagine a permanent deal would be in the deal should he be cleared.

Gosling move looks done. Medical today. I don't claim to be ITK but my mate in holland reckons Jody Lukoki could well be on his way here.

No new pics of this yet then?

Rabbit teeth collar? That is the inside of the back of the shirt.

I know. Some people and their suggestions man

I don't know how to put a pic on here but here it is! I love it! Black Wonga logo looks a lot better! http://thespectatorsview.com/2013/07/17/official-puma-release-newcastle-shirt-designs/

If shola is leaving then I hope Bent is no more than his replacement. It's a puzzle how he would fit in the side though...unless pardew is thinkin of 442 again We still need to be bringing in a top class young striker.

Good to here we put in a good performance and are fit. In preseasons gone by I've always thought we never looked fit or 'at it' so its a good start. I'd imagine everyone wants to prove themselves and do much better than last year. Nice to see Dummett and Vuckic doing well as well as Streete getting on the pitch.

I'm not worried at all at the minute. We've shifted on some dead wood. The core of the squad is there with an almost complete first 11. I'm prepared to wait till the start of the season to judge. I just hope we get some over the line soon so they can have a proper preseason with the group. 3 solid signings (ST/LF/CM) and a couple of youngsters. There's plenty of time. Edit: Another CB is Williamson goes. Could be where this Rolando rumour has come from.

AP says Sissoko played wide right for Toulouse and France...erm did he? If we are to play 4231 which i do think works when players are in form and put more impetus on beating the opposition rather than not being beat, Sissoko behind Cisee worked for a while but i'd be more inclined to have him sit in with Tiote and allow Cabaye that freedom further forward.
