I know. And Best took a knock on Saturday too. I read a blog somewhere which suggested Toon have been in talks with New York about a loan deal for Thierry Henri. Presumably the blogger is hallucinating but you never know...

The links don't work, but I think I get the message anyway.

There's also talk about an out-of-contract Brazilan called Ewerthon, who apparently is half decent and "only" 29. I've googled him and he might be worth a look.

Edit: He scored 28 goals for Real Zaragoza only 2 seasons ago. Not bad at all. His agent is quoted as saying he'd love to play for Newcastle. Watch this space.

More rumours... Jeremie Aliadiere? Jesus that's scraping the barrel, but we need bodies even if its just on the bench.

Aliadiere could have been a decent player for us but his off-field antics made sure he didn't stay a Gunner for long enough.

Anyone watching the England/Denmark game....I have a fairly good feed

I believe that the source is the ITV1 feed.

Yes, it's been alright. There's a Veetle link as well.

I watched ITV via the FBHost site. As usual.

Perfect. As usual.

(other than it being ITV of course.)

And the game being generally crap.

Wow, a player who was released by us (Swansea) for not being good enough.

I see some Toon fans are looking forward to seeing Kuqi's swan dive, considering he has to score to do that, they may not ever see it.

One of the blogs I read headlined the report of his acquisition with "Kuqi Coup".

Irony is alive and well on Tyneside.

A good poll in the Guardian........

No contest

Absolute disgrace, Jordan should have twatted him.

Spurs took the morale high ground in that game as well as win it out right fair and square.

I hope Corluka is not out for too long.

Crouchy and "the bare bones" were magnificent yesterday.

It was a great game for Spurs. I thought Big Joe showed a lot of restraint while the Italians demonstrated their famed sportsmanship throughout the game.
