Happy Birthday, Jimmy.

Maybe Ashley is going to pack all the journo's which have caused him grief into one of the bigger boxes and gas the fuckers?

Gordon is a good 'keeper but he's not as good as a fit Given or Harper.

It's on the front of Deportivo's official online magazine that he's travelling in today for a medical and close the deal

So that leaves them with Tevez, Saha and Campbell upfront? We may keep it down to 2 or 3 this time

Enrique > YPL

So what have you got to be so cheerful about? Spurs reserves and a spitter Now,now Berb!!! Steed played 38 games for the Spuds last season,and well you know it... and we might have signed a spitter,but he`s a fucking good spitter. Malbranque is a good player, one i'd have liked us to get if no other midfielders are forthcoming in this transfer window. I don't really 'get' the rest of them though. Tainio is an injury prone plodder who's no better than what you already had in the middle, Chimbonda is an average mercenary of epic proportions and Diouf is one of those players whos novelty of being "a tricky player" wears off when you realise he has very little end product to his game. Still, that's just my two penneth. Good job Kaboul turned you down our i'd have collapsed in a fit of laughter

Get rid of the fucker. Making a £4.5 million loss seems quite good in the current circumstances.

Played it for a few hours and never touched it since. Don't get the rave reviews. Mind. I was the same with GTA4 too. ...and every other game. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/vie...mash-Bros-Brawl And the follow up... http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/vie...ailbag-Showdown

People as in randoms or The People? I quite like the look of Taiwo from what i've seen. It's always a risk buying from France but I think he'd be worth a punt.

Lads, this is the Daily Mail we're talking about. I'd guess it could only be less reliable if Louise Taylor had written it while channelling the spirit of every Sunderland supporter in the world.

No but thats only for the fact the 3 coming up are so poor you saying were going be much higher than say 15th on the basis of our squad etcetc? were not relegation but were not exactly going be miles from it either i dont think. i love the way some people bang on about friendlies "oh its just for players to find there feet and get fit" Indeed, difference being we couldn't even get a result against shite teams while the likes of other premier teams are sticking a few goals past better sides friendly or not theres no excuse for us not getting some form of result against likes of doncaster and co let alone fcking losing. Last year didn't we show Celtic up and beat Juve? Thought so.

Is there anything in the Indian press about the takeover?

No, what's the daft shite saying? Reckons that representatives of the Reliance Group have told him that there is an None Disclosure Agreement in place that doesnt permit them to say if that indian bloke is the "client", but we should expect further developments in the next 24 - 48 hours Meeting with Mike Ashleys legal representation on Monday So I'm told anyway Surely by "telling" David Craig that there is a None Disclosure Agreement in place it confirms Anil Ambani is a client? SSN aren't going to play this story down as it would impact on NotW's sales, so I wouldn't read too much into this.

No, what's the daft shite saying?

Dared to call himself a billionaire yet hasn't hoyed stupid money at David Beckham in order to get him to sign He's an astute businessman and he's doing a job of getting the club in order after years of mismanagement from Fat Fred. Of course stuff like this only goes on behind the scenes and we don't see the immediate benefit on the pitch so people don't believe anything is actually going on. I'll not lose a wink of sleep over this story. If it's true great, if not then i'm happy with Ashley as owner.

What. The. Fuck!? If he's worth £7 million i'm worth half of that. Atleast.

I get the feeling they're just trying a different angle altogether now. Rather than paint Ashley as the bad'un for trying to sell up he's going to get painted as the bad'un for not selling up.

http://blogs.notw.co.uk/sport/2008/08/260m-newcastle.html As brilliant as the figures being quoted sound i'm willing to bet it's all bullshit to try and disrupt the club

Take it back.

My balls. And the fact we've went for Gutierrez, Aimar and Coloccini may have something to do with it.

I get the feeling we're going to poach another player from La Liga. Is it Jiminez or Vetere who has links there?

He's an oddball and should be in care to protect himself and others but there's no way he did it. All the evidence was incredibly shakey from the off and the police lied through their teeth about one or two things which they should be ashamed of. Still, I suppose 8 years in jail is George getting of lightly. If he'd been olive skinned they'd have shot him in the face 7 or 8 times.

Jaysus. How fucking soft is our team?
