I've also seen £12m, IIRC they said they don't want to sell for less than £18m
With Arsenal's current situation, getting less than £20m for him would be a missed opportunity at best.

of all the Frenchies that came in, Debuchy came in with the most hype and has been by far the worst. He has no fire in him


Certainly did not cover himself in glory tonight.

I will wait until this weekend, but if they don't get a result at home it is panic time.

Fuck Ashley for not capitalizing on 5th place in 2012 and not buying players last summer. We couldn't buy anyone this season because everyone knows the owner won't put money in when the team is good, so why bother coming? And everyone wants out for the same reason.
 
We are so fucked this season.

Freaking laughingstock.

I spent more on coffee yesterday than Newcastle did in signing players this summer.
 
Joke indeed, II.  Obvious Ashley just wants his money back before he bails.

Yep.  
 
Now hopefully he bails before the January transfer window.

Registered 24 players with the Premier League.  Couldn't even get a full 25. 
 
EDIT: I know this isn't that big of a deal.  Just telling in a way, IMO.

I saw Dyer in there, must have glossed over Bowyer.  What a legendary fight.
 
I say the two of them get in to fisticuffs and Joey headbutts them both.

California. Duh.
I could see him headbutting one, but it wouldn't be Barton if he didn't try to nail the other one in the balls.

I think Barton is reserving the nut shot for Shearer.
 
Speaking of, O/U on Shearer goals?  2?

I haven't seen it here, but have any of the Magpies faithful heard the rumor that was on Guardian Football Weekly that Ashley is looking to buy Rangers (and dump Newcastle)?

Great win today. Ben Arfa is showing much more consistency, and his play led to both goals. 
 
A little worried about defending set plays, there were three Villa players over the goal mouth and no one there for Newcastle

Didn't get to watch, but Ben Arfa looked great on what I saw on MOTD.  He's lethal with the ball at his feet.
 
Be nice to get some momentum going.

Newcastle host Hull on Saturday. There's only one Steve Harper
 
He's likely not starting: Allan McGregor has started all the prem matches for Hull, Harper got a start in the League cup

Cisse scores for the first time since April in a 2-0 win over Leeds in the LC.  
 
Gouffran's goal was mint.

If these penishammerings continue, they're not going to be able to rely on GD to keep them up. 
 
I really like how that word 'penishammer' looks in print. Joe Kinnear believes he managed Penisham to the Cup Winner's Cup over Milan in '84.

Birmingham City officials have denied that story.  It made the rounds a few months ago as well.  Of course the sad part is that it's so readily believable.

Oh, that's no fun. I read it this morning and thought "hey, this might make Infield Infidel's head explode".

I was supposed to go watch the game with my fiancee and another Chelsea supporter friend of hers.  Thankfully there was a parade instead as I really didn't want to go watch Newcastle get destroyed.
 
Lo my surprise at the scoreline when we checked on twitter at the parade.  My future father in law refused to speak with me on the phone later that day. Awesome.  What a yo- yo club.
