The pace of things?

Argh Supporting NUFC has gone into Cyber overdrive.

Leicester have made a 3.5 mill bid for Clarkie! (Planetfootball)

We've tried to sign Gianluca Vialli on loan?! (Midas?)

The Journal reports that we could be trying to get Marco Delvechio from Roma

John Hartson on loan

'Crisis Fund' has been released after meetings with Bobby, Shepherd, Woods and Stonehouse.

It's all getting a bit hectic here at work and to top it all my Digital TV signal is playing up at home. I need sleep.

I'm not ganna play in Ginga Lennon's position - even for £3.5 million.
Now, a move back to the Toon - that would be different!

All the talk about Lee Clark moving has been because his family have moved back up to the North East, so I can't see why moving to Leicester would help him really.

I'm sure Bobby would be on the phone if he was serious about moving, then again he is a central midfielder, but he's a Geordie, who would love to beat the hackems. Get the t-shirt reprinted lad.

Do we need another Nationwide league standard midfielder.... even if he is a Geordie?

Seems to me the absolute top priority is at least one player who can take the load off our defense by putting the opposition's defense under enough pressure to cut down their attacking options by being too busy trying to stop us scoring. So I'm not sure signing either of the Clarkys would be a good move. :-)

We might even see our lightweights able to contribute more productively under those circumstances - while the opposition are defending their goal, they can't be attacking our's. Seems blindingly obvious to me.

Don't ask who the players are that we need though. I'd rather leave that to those who're supposed to know better.

Speculating once again, Planet football have us linked with a loan move for Rod Wallace who is out of contract in the summer.

Domi wants away

Bobby's Portugese coaching matey wants the manager's job not No.2

Shearer has cortison injection and is in contention for Saturday.

nnnnnggggg....Will not be happy to see Shearer playing on Saturday. I really fear he's being rushed back and will wind up knacked for the rest of the season. Save him for Leeds/MoanU, Bobby. Give the kids a chance for Bradford/Derby.

Although not a fan of one of the clarks, his style of none stop running and not letting the opposition get settled and his passion and commitment will not go astray. We need more of Joe Royals "Dogs of War" Not 11 of them mind you.

Pay no heed to the Wallace story, they got the wrong trousers, I mean story. Now who was it that mentioned WALLACE and Gromit? I always thought that Mcgrath was a canny CB, Fingers Mcgrath that is!

How bout Rod Stewart? Not doing much right now. Probably could get him on a free. His wages could be a bit high, though.

Rod has just had a thyroid operation, hence the non-completion of his new LP due out in November now due February when he finishes laying down the vocals. Sorry but we have enough injured players without wanting more:-))

How about Patrick Stewart then?
We certainly need someone to "make it so!"

".....(AS).... will wind up knacked for the rest of the season.

You're not being clairvoyant ciara. If AS is allowed to come back now there is a high probability he will finish up being out for the rest of the season, possibly worse. If that happens someone should be sacked, or shot, or both - and I'll willingly perform the act.
