The Fish

He'll have done all right out of the contract and will likely get an international post, won't he? Man City job never feels like a long term position really.

Why?

You'd expect to be told to sod off by Everton who are playing him every week, who spent £28m on him 18 months ago and whose goal scorer burden is shouldered by Lukaku (19/50) & Barkley (9/50)? yeah I reckon they'd tell you to sod off with your £24m bid.

I'd crease up if that happened., but it's probably in our best interests that it doesn't Defoe at Bournemouth could claw them out of trouble, whereas I don't think he'll be enough to get the mackems safe.

but just because he's left doesn't mean he's coming here. Could just as well be because he's a stroppy little bellend and wasn't training with the right attitude, so they've sent him home to think about what he's done.

Berahino has left training, WBA saying he's picked up a knock. Could be (and probably is) nowt.

One of these is not like the others.. Have you seen the strop he's throwing today? https://twitter.com/lee_ryder/status/694121162268413953 Precious little ballsack

No idea to be honest. It could be accurate, but I doubt it. I mean, Sky Sports are as reliable as the Mail, the Express or whomever.

I've seen reports of that, but I thought you had up to midnight?

Jesus, I just thought... how lonely must "Tom" be now?

Multiple reports we've agreed personal terms with Doumbia. Seen no pictures of him in the North East mind you, and usually some jackass has tweeted a blurred long distance snap of a lad in awful jeans by now.

I had the other side of that when I did jury duty. Basically a nice, polite, church going, pillar of the community type smashed a glass in the face of a side bitch. Jurors wanted to let her off despite overwhelming evidence proving her guilt beyond any doubt. Had another assault case which was thrown out because a witness was chatting to the accused outside the courtroom about the case, or something like that. Think the judge was delighted to throw the case out because everybody on either side of the case was an arsehole. The last one was a sexual assault and was fucking horrific. re: the Avery case, agree with Gem's first post about it. Also, they seemed to rely on the bill of sale and the magazine being with the house as evidence that the girl was there. Even if the police didn't plant them, that they're there doesn't prove that she was. And does anyone have any idea why Brendan Dassey's defence lawyers didn't play the last hour and a half of the interview video where Dassey complains the police "got in his head"? My lass hated Kratz's voice and stated, in a tone which brook no argument, "that man is a fucking weirdo pervert", took until the last episode but when the sexting revelation occurred... you've never seen a woman look so pleased with herself.

Probably walk when he's here as well.

January spend thus far. Newcastle - 29m Jiangsu Suning 26.3m Bundesliga - 26m La Liga - 22m Ligue 1 - 5m

Pretyy sure that's how we've got Shelvey & Townsend, it probably was how we got Cabaye et al

Would a sophisticated cock wear a monocle?

I'd be genuinely surprised if CT had the attention span for the Fast Show.

You are and he has. I'd still start Mitrovic ahead of Cisse though.

Your charm and spelling has won me over.

fuck 'em

If you were aware of Newcastle United before Sports Direct? What the? Who the fuck would not have known about Newcastle United before Sports Direct got involved?

Rumours that we're chasing Lucas Orban a left back from Valencia on loan http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3422406/Newcastle-talks-Valencia-loan-deal-left-Lucas-Orban.html and people are tweeting that the Sun say we're after Kieran Gibbs, but I can't find owt. Be happy with the latter, don't know anything about the former. Think Orban is more likely than Gibbs though.

I may have missed a word or two from that. We'd not have the ball enough to provide decent service to your two strikers though? Against lesser sides who're want to pack the midfield we'd be overrun and our best attacking threat (Gini) would be chasing shadows instead of scoring goals.

I've seen loads of clubs have take-over bids fail, pretty sure I'm yet to see one actually go through.
