It's alright, Neil ranger was charged with rape. Not forgetting his homophobic tweets and multiple common assaults to which the club stood by him. Trust mags to so thick they've forgotten all this. <doh>

Let's not forget Titus Bramble played for both! <laugh>
 
Worst signing of the season


1 - EMMANUEL RIVIERE

Monaco to Newcastle

He didn’t come cheap, costing more than £5m from Monaco, and for what? Poor misses, the inability to shake off markers and a source of constant frustration for supporters who want their team to attack with gumption.

Seventeen Premier League games without a goal means Riviere has the dubious honour of becoming Sportsmail’s worst signing of the 2014-15 season.

A special mention must go to Siem De Jong as well, who can’t fulfill his duties as a professional footballer by virtue of never-ending injuries. But Riviere pips the Dutchman for some downright disgusting displays.

Luckily for them, the young kid Perez come up trumps and Cisse found himself back in the goals before he started being a dirty dog, then started spitting matches with **** United defenders.

I bet 'wonder scout' Carr didn't think Riviere would be so **** in front of goal. He had chance after chance against us recently and fluffed the lot.
 
Newcastle's Jack Colback can prove how far he has come at the Stadium of Light on Sunday

Alan Pardew once told reporters he 'couldn't see' what Jack Colback did but the Newcastle midfielder proved him wrong - can he do the same on Sunday?


Of all the players to pull on black, red and white in the last 17 years, Jack Colback was a decidedly curveball candidate to break the taboo and swap one North East rival for the other.

It is not that Colback is not a decent player – and he has certainly come on this season, adding attacking intent to his tidy ability to retain the ball – but he has always been so unassuming.

Perhaps the following anecdote explains some of it.

Alan Pardew, who came to admire Colback’s talent, had sat down with reporters in an off-the-record briefing before the 2012/13 and when the Sunderland midfielder’s availability was mentioned his response was not a positive one. “Well, what does he actually do well?”

Considering he had lavished praise on Darren Bent and Phil Bardsley during the same lunch, it is fair to say eyebrows were raised when Colback eventually pitched up on Tyneside and Pardew said he thought he could play for England.

However, let’s consider this: Colback is a much better player than he is given credit for.

A personal opinion is he does not have the profile or strength of personality – just yet – to push his game through the gears.

A week today, Colback will play in the biggest game of his career when he mans the Newcastle engine room at the Stadium of Light.

A ground where he is sure of an even hotter reaction than Steven Taylor received two years ago after his infamous “stamp-collecting” interview.

Sure, the League Cup final last season was a big game

However, in terms of measuring how far the quiet man of North East football has improved, whether he can prosper when 45,000 people are wishing nothing but the worst for him will be interesting.

Sunderland were hurt when Colback left last season but supporters were quick to claim he too often disappeared when the going got tough. That felt unfair on a player who gave his all to help Gus Poyet complete his “miracle” last season.

It takes a certain type of personality to make the move Colback did: a decent performance on Wearside would answer those critics.



So he's going to prove to the world how much he's come on by putting in a good performance against the team who's presently the worst in the league. I this reporter a smackhead? Mark Douglas is clearly an idiot if thinks play well against us will prove anything. I bet it's the same old might as well not be there Colback, tidy as he is he's not good enough to control games from midfield, never has never will be. Just my opinion of course.
How funny would it be if he pulls a hammy in training or the warm up?!

5 in a row with this team tee hee !. To be honest because of our position in the league the game is massive, would have been boring if we had been mid table. We have to kick in the north stand I the first half though as there is something wrong/curse whatever.
 
I have been studying voodoo this week in order to be able to curse the Skunks..I have one spare pin left and can't decide which Mag poster on here to make a voodoo doll of...Hmmm. Dilemmas dilemmas..

Oddly enough I've been trying to research voodoo Haitian/Louisiana Voodoo for about a month but there not actually a great deal out for on it. The documentaries are awful, old and biased and their doesn't seem to be a definitive text.

Very disappointed.

I was seething <laugh>. I dare say, we would have put you away if we had a half decent striker playing that day!

Crack is theyll line up like this

------------Krul-----------------
Taylor-Jmaat-MikeW--Colback
-------------Anita--------------
Gouff----Siss--Cabella-Ameobi
------------Perez------------

That's an attacking line up that asks a lot of Anita, especially in front of a rejigged back 4.

I think we'll go with 3 cm's with Wickham and Johnson either side of Defoe.
