A bit of commitment from Owen wouldnt go amiss in this situation, he knows the club is at last moving forward(we hope), he knows the commitment shown to get him here and the passion, look at the 20,000 that showed up for his signing, neewhere else in the world would he get that.

He has to WANT to pull on the black and white stripes in my eyes, otherwise he can piss orf into the distance.

Pre-season matches are purely to gain match fitness and throw a bit of money to teams in the lower divisions, also to try players in different positions, i wouldnt care that much about results until the season kicked off.

Be just our luck wouldnt it, laugh if it was Keane lol.

I bet if they were on 1970s wages they wouldnt give the fucker to charity, well done though for doing so.

Buying Boumsong was tarting the team up was it, oh and did he sign Luque as well?

Big Sam reckons two players for every position so i wouldnt be surprised to see a big influx of defenders over the coming weeks, totally needs rebuilding.

Sabotage.....Beastie Boys.

Yip it cetainly sounds like the guy knows exactly what he wants for the Toon, great times ahead.

Fan-feckin-tastic news.

Hope he works hard for his wage and keeps his nose clean.

I just hope Mike Ashley gets in first, he has sent out all the right vibes about what he wants for the Toon in my opinion.

I am all for big sams ideas but its gonna take more than one season to implement it all and from what i can gether he has been given just one season to prove himself, seems it might be a waste of time unless we take off straight away.

Would definately not be happy with Joey Barton at the club.

Bloody doing me tits in all this speculation, the lad should come out and say what he is doing rather than all this cloak and dagger bollocks.

things are indeed looking up for us, i for one cant feckin wait till the juggernaut starts rolling.

The new man is ploughing 400 million into the club over the next 5 years, i am pretty sure more than 100 millin of this will be used on players like.

paraniod....black sabbath

watched the match and Owen was huffing and puffing but didnt have the finish, there were far better players on the pitch than him.

Makes my piss boil.

I can only think the reason that Baba and Carr haven't gone is because they would need a sizeable payoff due to length of contract, lets just hope they are sold or contracts mutually terminated asap. It would also leave us with no recognised and PL experienced full backs. Aye, I know they've both been shit, but I would think the club would try and bring in a couple of half decent full backs before letting either go. Due to money problems we might be stuck with them as back up in the short term. i would think they would be replaced quite easily, lets face it we couldnt possibly buy any worse.

I would like to se Nzogbia try and use his phone when big sam is doing his half time team talk, probably throw him straight out the door, he definately has the potential to be great has just lost his way a little and needs a guiding hand( kick up the arse)

I can only think the reason that Baba and Carr haven't gone is because they would need a sizeable payoff due to length of contract, lets just hope they are sold or contracts mutually terminated asap. Aye, you never know they might catch the attention of the great unwashed just up the road.

Another few hundred grand doon the drain then for his wages, complete waste of fucking money and time.

Getting rid of Carr would be a step in the right direction as would getting Babayaro out, i would like to see Parker stay, i still reckon he could do a sterling job for us in midfield.
