Great news today that Jones only looks like missing 6-8 weeks which might have him back for the scum game.

that and Keano wants to bring in another 2-3 players before next weekend. Reading have confirmed that two bids have been accepted for Nicky Shorey but it looks like he might pick Villa over us

Right lads, 2 days to the big kick off.

how about a season long comp for games played on a sat and sunday??

lets say a point for each correct result winner plus one starred match which gets 3 points. maybe some ASFN dollars for the winner each week and for the overal winner?? (or what ever you want?)

I will kick us off....

Arsenal v West Brom, 12:45 HOME *
Bolton v Stoke, 15:00 DRAW
Everton v Blackburn, 15:00 HOME
Hull v Fulham, 15:00 AWAY
Middlesbrough v Tottenham, 15:00 AWAY
Sunderland v Liverpool, 17:30 AWAY
West Ham v Wigan, 15:00 HOME

Aston Villa v Man City, 15:00 HOME
Chelsea v Portsmouth, 13:30 HOME
Man Utd v Newcastle, 16:00 HOME

EASY EASY EASY

I have to give a little bit of a 'ha-ha!' to Sunderland for the loss to Liverpool, but I came away really impressed with the differences to the Black Cat squad. You guys seemed far more organized than in seasons past. Should be a solid mid-table team this season.

I'm really stoked about my Magpies drawing at Man U today. I don't want to hear anyone bemoaning Man U's lacking their top talent when 2 of our top 3 strikers are out, amongst others. Unfortunately I think we would have won 1-nil, if only Taylor hadn't gone out for a brief span with a minor ankle knock, which directly led to the tying goal. That was really gutting, but I was hugely impressed with our tenacity. We were tentative to start, but really started to play with confidence and a bit of swagger. Guttierez is going to star for us, I really believe, Colocinni defended very well, and Guthrie is only going to get better. We need Owen back badly, and though I love N'Zogbia as a creative player, he is NOT a defender, and we still need a left back desperately. Overall, though, I'm well pleased with the result.

From O Marseille official website...

An agreement in principle intervened between l' OM and Sunderland for the loan of Djibril Cissé to the English club jusqu' at the end of the season, Pape Diouf with OM.net announced. Some details remain to be regulated for l' officialization of this loan.

If Keano lands Cisse and Anton Ferdinand, I will be over the moon!

No way you get Ferdinand. Not a snowball's chance.

No, because his team is turning everyone down this year. As they did for us too, this year. HE hasn't turned us down this season. I never even heard of him last year.

last year/last season then!

The thought of playing for Keano might just be too much for him to turn down (and to tell WHU that he wants to leave

)....jump on board the magic carpet young Anton

West Ham isn't turning Sunderland down. The clubs have already agreed a fee. If Keano can convince Ferdinand to come North, then he's ours.

Renz · August 21st, 2008, 09:01 AM

Looks like David Healy from Fulham will be on board, and there's a good chance that Blackburn will be convinced to sell Benni McCarthy also.

Come on, Keano!

Where'd you read that? Last I read, it was either Sunderland or us. Of course, he's a second-rate striker, but I'd take him for depth.

Healy. I hadn't read that report you have, probably because I only read the Newcastle side of things. He'd be a good signing for you, and you guys need him. For us, when Owen and Viduka are back, he wouldn't even be a sub I don't think. He'd just be insurance against injury. I'd have taken him, but no big loss. Good luck on bringing him in!
