Mind you, we still have a certain Fernando Torres upfront. Feels as bad as being relegated...

Not the news that I was hoping for but whatever. Have my doubts over him. Hope I will be proved wrong...

http://www.wiganlatics.co.uk/news/article/12-08-23-club-statement-victor-moses-331637.aspx Seems like Wigan have accepted our bid...

Yeah. Can see that by clicking on the Twitter link below my avatar.

Well that was disappointing. Watched Blues News, hoping to see a 'specific' Breaking News and...nothing came about.

They probably don't even bother about it OR Alan Pardew thinks his 2nd string team should be good enough to see them off. 1-1 now at HT. Atromitos took the lead first before Ryan Taylor equalized for Newcastle with a FK from 25 yards or so.

Reportedly sold to Inter for 10m Euros with 3m Euros add ons.

One thing I really like about Oscar now is his burst of pace. You can just see how quick he accelerates when there is a ball ahead to chase. Showed it against Wigan and produced a really good shot and 1-2 times against Reading too.

Newcastle's lineup against Atromitos...

Agree! Apart from the last 20-25 minutes in the first half, Reading didn't trouble us too much. They didn't threaten at all in the second till we went 3-2 up. We looked the more threatening and attacking of the two sides. But the English media love the romance of smaller teams upsetting the big boys and those who puts in the commitment, passion, work ethic etc...

Thing is though, had the linesman ruled Torres's goal for offside, Reading wouldn't have to push forward for an equalizer, thus leaving themselves wide open to concede yet another goal. They'll probably just hold on to what they have and might escape with a draw in the end.

Goodness me. Talk about being bitter! Someone needs to remind them they also scored a 2nd 'fluke' goal then.

IF it is true, then the deal will probably be announced officially in Blues News later at 6.30pm UK time.

Marin will be back in mid-September.

Newcastle have a Europa League match tonight in Greece against Atromitos but Alan Pardew has said he will ring the changes and field a second string lineup against them. Their match kicks off in about 1 hour and 30 minutes time.

Finding it funny how Torres's offside yesterday has caused so much furore but yet nothing has been said about Tevez's offside goal against Southampton last Sunday. Also, the media said we got lucky with Cahill's goal after a blunder by Adam Federici but yet no one said Reading were lucky with their second.

PANIC STATIONS!!

Hmmm....

I stopped reading it when I saw "ESPN Sources" in the second paragraph. BS story. No way we'll sell Sturridge and leave ourselves even shorter in numbers upfront.

As you said, "rumour" and think it is nothing more than that.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2192400/Rafael-van-der-Vaart-join-Hamburg-9-5m-deal.html Looks like Van der Vaart is next to leave Spurs. AVB is really dismantling them isn't he?

I'm not even sure RDM had said what was written in that Sun news about fining Luiz. Most likely just a fabricated quote.
