Tuncay to Stoke for 5m. Excellent deal for them. Strange to think that in the age of 28mil for Lescott and whatever stupid amount it was for Glen Johnson, there are class players like Tuncay (5mil) and Chamakh (7mil) on the move for bargain prices.

Don't see it mentioned anywhere else - Everton have signed Distin from Portsmouth. Hopefully that will put paid to the Taylor - Everton links we've all had enough of.

Tramps the both of them, sickening groups of fans. How about the tumour chants for Roeder? Scum.

"We will not win automatic promotion." You don't say? Can't wait to see him stage his latest walk-out. Nice to see some mackems are finally realising what a serial bottler he is.

Fucking bullshit. There'll be no sale, it's as we predicted all along, just stringing us along until the transfer deadline.

Load of shite. The article states that he wants to leave Newcastle so he can play for Argentina, but then says Maradona's ok with him staying here as long as he plays well. It also says he has been looking for a move away from us while also saying "whether he remains at Newcastle or moves to the Catalans isn't of great concern to him." The only quotes are him saying he'd leap at the chance to play for Barca - obvious - and that he's ok with playing as a wing-back. And all of that comes before the goal.com link

How much longer?

Ryan Taylor bumped up onto the right wing...oh joy.

Tudgay was class for them last season. Apart from him though that side is the kind of Championship dross that we will soon be. We'll beat them comfortably this time around, but come the return fixture when a few more of our PL-quality players have gone, the shoe will be likely on the other foot.

They're a proud club and I think there's plenty of similarities between us. I wish them well but can't see us losing on Wed.

And I see us getting mugged quite a few times before this season's over. OP is living in cloud cuckoo land.

Shocking stuff from that ref like but I admit I was hoping to see Warnock's face go red and steam start coming out his ears. His 'cheating' allegations are a bit off as well considering you can see some Bristol City players signalling it was a goal to the ref in that clip, after the Palace players try to talk to the linesman.

Shouldn't have let Lovenkrands go in the first place, he would've done a job in this division for sure. If we keep everyone we've still got (Duff going obviously) and get a proper manager in, we might well reach the promotion players. But I think it's obvious that won't happen.

Sign him up.

CT's irrational hatred of Jonas seems to be the new thing now that previous scapegoat Martins has gone. We will be worse off for losing him, I guarantee it.

Unexpected and deeply satisfying result. Been a while since I've had occasion to laugh and cheer during a match.

Apart from that glaring screwup at the start of the half I think Jonas has looked vastly better than his terrible performance last week. He actually took a shot, for one, and it gave us the corner we scored from. Reading have had good possession - this Karacem lad looks especially quality - but they have never looked like troubling us and I hope we can maintain this level of decent performance. Carroll a total non-entity in this game, as is Nolan.

Can't you fuck off already you Toffee shiteater? And I say that with love.

They're going to drop like a stone. We'll be just like them before too long so I wouldn't laugh.

Anyone else think this was solely for sake of appearance? Did you know that until we signed this kid, we were the only club in the top four divisions not to have brought in a single player? He's already better than Ryan Taylor though, might be worth a go.

I can't think of many other players in the squad I'd rather keep than Duff at this point, seems to be one of the few who actually cares about this club anymore. You could see he was gutted when we went down. He's not a PL player any more, I don't think, but we aren't a PL club any more either. If we lose him we are in big trouble.

I read somewhere Nugent is going to one of the promoted teams? Big waste. He'd do more than a job for us alongside Carroll and I have no doubt he'd come if we only had a proper manager.

Everton fans coming on here in disguise now as well? Pretty sad to be blunt. Of course a comedy club like ours will generate plenty of schaudenfreude, but this is a new low. What next? Wigan fans?

There's absolutely no indication that he will be a good manager. What he will be is someone who cares about the club and will not whore it out to Ashley. He also actually wants the job, and let's face it, there can't be many other managers who we could say that for...besides the destitute tramps like Kinnear and O'Leary.

The proxy IP business didn't work for me either, and I don't subscribe to ESPN360. I used something that was in this thread earlier and it worked great - my usual paysite never got around to showing the game despite scheduling for it.
