Fuck sake man!

Good cover, now get Kamara and Harewood in too.

Brings it on himself. Reminds me of will in the inbetweeners. He wears the same blazer to be fair...

Cheers for that. Ordered.

Not that it will happen, but Kamara, Harewood and some cover at centre half and we should easily go back up.

Did you see something today to suggest he isn't? can't get in the side ahead of bothroyd says it all really. Maybe because he is injured...

Unfair, quite a few of us on here where championing him on here last year instead of the hopeless Butt. How exactly is it unfair, I am basing it on 39 games in the premiership in a black and white shirt as opposed to 6 in the fizzy pop league. Don't get me wrong I think he is playing very well and taking the captaincy role on very well and think he will be a key player for us this season. However I am not going to be naive and think all of a sudden the last few years did not happen and all of sudden half of the current team are actually that good, remember most of these guys are the same players who took us down.

(at this level...)

Did you see something today to suggest he isn't?

Happy Birthday Old Yin...

I'll do my very best. This could be funny... The Fish expecting the usual kind of place he goes to, wearing his blazer of course, with his friends Farquar, Sebastian and Walter, he could get a surprise letting the man who diets on baked beans on pitta bread choose the venue for some scran...

New weegie update has us with zero to spend.

Joke thats on top of Sheff Utd away on a Monday night in November. PNE were giving us 7000 tickets for it as well, do these idiots forget that we're a national outpost, and most teams are over 3 hours away??? Idiots. Saturday would've been better. I make it 5 of our next 7 aways are on SKY on top of the four we've been on up to now. Cardiff Ipswich Forest Sheff U PNE Jokers. Put some cunt else on! Are you for real? Your moaning because were actually ON tv???!!?? I am. It's certainly fucked up at least 3 away trips I was planning on. PNE was going to be a weekend in Blackpool too and it's ruined You should be grateful for them doing you a favour...

Akabusi said Dervite and Rose so I am just waiting on that getting announced....

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcas...72703-24578321/ Lovenkrands set for Newcastle United return PETER Lovenkrands looks poised for a second spell at St James’s Park in order to ease the Magpies’ striker crisis. And caretaker boss Chris Hughton was also trying to tie up a loan deal for Manchester United defender Craig Cathcart on transfer deadline day. In a surprise twist, United are also understood to have been offered their former striker Mark Viduka on a pay-as-you-play deal, as have Middlesbrough. The Chronicle revealed on August 18 that Newcastle had turned to Lovenkrands for a second time this year following a spate of outgoing transfers at Gallowgate. And with Newcastle’s frontline decimated through injuries to Shola Ameobi – who could face a two month lay-off with a foot injury – and groin victim Andy Carroll, Hughton has been desperate to bolster his attacking options. Spanish flop Xisco’s exit to Racing Santander on a season-long loan deal to the La Liga club has paved the way for Lovenkrands to return. The former Rangers star was at the United training ground today for talks, with a three-year deal on offer at St James’s. Cathcart was hoping to follow in the footsteps of Danny Simpson in a loan move to Tyneside, with Hughton woefully short of cover in the centre-half area. At 6ft 2in, the Belfast-born Northern Ireland Under-21 international, who has also had loan stints at Plymouth and Royal Antwerp, would offer Hughton exactly that, and he knows about the rigours of Championship life after playing 30 times for the Pilgrims last term. However, Hughton was also keeping his fingers crossed that there would be no further departures at St James’s Park. However, he did fall victim to FIFA’s five-day rule, with Fabricio Coloccini ordered back to Argentina by Diego Maradona for their crunch World Cup qualifier against Brazil and Jonas Gutierrez also heading back to his homeland so that AFA doctors can assess his hamstring injury. Hughton told the Chronicle: “Coloccini’s gone and, from a personal point of view, we hope he doesn’t play in the games, and will be fit and available for Cardiff a week on Sunday. “Jonas will certainly not be involved in the national team but has headed back as well. “As far as a timescale, you’re always a bit reluctant to have one, because you’d like to think you can bring them back before, but at the time he did it, we were looking at three weeks for Jonas’ return. “We’re still assessing Shola. “It’s not going to be a two or three week job – it’s certainly going to be longer than that. “We’ll certainly know over the next couple of days. “It’s a big blow for us because of how he started the season, and what a big player he is for us. “We’re certainly very disappointed to lose him at this stage.” Hughton will go into the international break with Newcastle at the top of the table and likely to win manager of the month after Newcastle’s unbeaten start.

That's good for our promotion chances, now if only Everton/Aston Villa would turn their attentions to Wheater and Real Madrid would finally do that deal for Adam Johnson Another team around us also being weakened. 11 million spend could also mean Shawcross is on his way, hopefully meaning one less team sniffing around Taylor.

Where's Lee Ryder Redheugh with todays Chronicle news?

Not according to Redheugh and after the abuse recieved ends up the best ITK since Akabusi...

THE group behind the latest takeover bid for Newcastle United claim to have backing from a multi-billion pound New York-based company. United confirmed yesterday in our later editions that Seymour Pierce were in talks with Geoff Sheard, who last year attempted to take over Sheffield Wednesday. And United’s financial controller John Irving has visited the solicitors’ offices in London in order to push through the paperwork surrounding the bid. However, while it is understood that Sheard is spearheading a bid for Newcastle, he does not have the required funds to run the football club. And he is merely the deal maker between United, Seymour Pierce and a mystery American consortium which say it is trying to complete a takeover before the end of Mike Ashley’s recently imposed one-week deadline. Sheard told the Chronicle today: "It's not me who is buying the club - that should be made very clear. "I've put together a package for a group who want to come in and take over the club. "That's what they want to do given the opportunity to do so. "Talks have been going on for a couple of weeks now." The Chronicle understands the group behind Sheard’s approach is led by a wealthy American backer who already has big links in US Sports. And the group who claim they intend to purchase the club will then aim to deploy the strategic holding company the Omnicom Group to rebrand the Magpies on a global scale. A source close to the deal claimed today: “It’s all still ongoing, while Geoff is keen to be involved, the money is coming from across the Atlantic. “It would be American money that pays for the club and the day-to-day running of it should they be successful, but they have plans in place to make sure Newcastle live up to their potential as a worldwide brand. “It wasn’t too long ago that Newcastle were above Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool in the table during the Sir Bobby Robson era, and there is no reason why that potential can’t be lived up to again.” Omincom will also look to public relations firm Fleishman-Hillard International Communications in order to improve the relations between Toon fans and the club with the Mike Ashley era being a PR disaster since he purchased the club two summers ago. Omincom have headquarters in both New York and London and are regarded as one of the world giants in advertising and marketing communications. They are listed on the New York stock exchange with a market value of £11.62bn. United managing director Derek Llambias yesterday claimed that Sheard’s party were yet to show “proof of funds” but talks were today understood to be ongoing between the two parties. Local businessman Barry Moat is also hoping to stay in the running for the takeover of the club. But with time against him and next Monday’s deadline fast approaching, there is still a strong possibility no deal will be done and Ashley will take United back off the market next week. That would leave the current regime facing a mad scramble on the transfer deadline day with the depleted squad at St James’s Park facing another 43 Championship fixtures and at least two cup games, one of which takes place tonight. Caretaker boss Chris Hughton could give no guarantee that United wouldn’t be stripped of any more players after 10 departures this summer have left the Toon squad looking thin on the ground.

According to Redheugh we will find out more today...
