The speculation regarding Newcastle signing Nicky Bremner continues to
grow, as a player apparantly. whole world is wondering, how good is he?
1/10 Very, very poor. I am now banned for three weeks from five-a-side for foul and abusive language. On Sundays in fairness I have broken Red House Juniors all time scoring record but I'm limited to cameos on Saturdays for Benfield (mens). I see myself more as going into player management straight away, but as I say, Leeds said that being good on Championship Manager wasn't a good enough requirement.

1/10 Newcastle are apparently after Barry Ferguson, Damien Duff, Carlos Tevez, Ledley King and Robert Huth.. unlikely.
1/10 You'd already rated it yourself. Duff now looks unlikely. We don't need Ferguson. Tevez looks quality but he'll go to a better club and he's a striker. Ledley King would be a dream signing and Huth stamped on Big Al's balls.

Freddy Shepherd to sell out to a Russian billionaire and Dyer transferred
to the Siberian saltmaines.
1/10 It's a pity I can't grant your wishes true!

Newcastle to put out everything for Shaun Wright-Phillips to bring him
to the North East to sort out our right wing.

3/10 I doubt it - Souness seems alright with playing a narrower system. Plus, Keegan wouldn't sell for nothing. If we got him for under £10 million then a great signing.

Laurent Robert is gonna be sold to either Monaco or Paris St. Germain.
Newcastle is gonna trade Dyer for Duff. I think thats a good choice.
3/10 Dyer for Duff would be like swapping sand for gold and I don't think Robert will be sold.

Name:
Toon Army
Newcastle will try to bring Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole and David Dunn to Tyneside.
1/10 The primary target has to be Matt Jansen.

Name:
James Delaney
Souness to be sacked after not winning anything this year and our own
Nicky Bremner himself to step in and sort the team out!!
8/10 Bremner was spotted filling in his Level 1 coaching badge at his Gosforth Mansion on Tuesday.

Woodgate cocaine scandal to be revealed this weekend. The "class
defender" and his girlfriend caught on film doing cocaine.
2/10 I'm going to go out on a limb and defend Woodgate. I read in the news today that Kate Lawler is working too hard on her body or something and he's worried. Aw so cute.

Newcastle to take Duff on a 6 month loan.
9/10 I've been inundated by this rumour, which probably seems the more likely than a straight cash deal. Is there anyone who thinks it's sh*te that Chelsea never need to worry about money? I think there should be a limit on money spent and also a limit on foreign businessman taking over English clubs. Well there's my rant over.

Le Havre still not finished with Charles N'Zogbia's transfer. Two clubs
are set to clash at court of abitration for sport. Could be another blow to
French Federation in their attempts to prevent its young players leaving. The
law that they have doesn't make sense anyway. Its' obviously restriction of trade.
8/10 They will try but they won't succeed. The French League is crap and I hate most French people. 'nuff said.

Rumour has it that Newcastle are going to sign teenage sensation Damien
Osborne the 15 year old Welsh International, loads of big clubs have gone in for
him but Damien seems to have his sights set on the Toon. He's gonna be one for the future.
1/10 The juries out on Osborne who struggles to put a few sentences together, never mind have a football brain (only joking Ozzay!!).

Newcastle is looking at bringing Robbie Fowler to Tyneside, once Big Al
retires. Souness has worked with Robbie during his time with Liverpool and maybe willing to take a gamble despite the fact that he is not quite at his best.
1/10 Please tell me you're joking. Fowler is one of the worst players now in the world who about 23 clubs have 'gambled' on with no end product. I'll make a Graeme Souness dartboard if it happens.

Bobby Robson to sell car and buy brand new Harley Davidsons, join local
bikers and become outlaw boss on the terraces.
2/10 Far too much of a gentlemen!

Newcastle are set to open up the bidding for former blackburn player
Damien Duff when the transfer window opens in January.
8/10 Likely. Mourinho doesn't like wingers in his system and Duff, in my opinion, would be a great signing.

Name:
Souixsie and the Banshees (goth's not dead!)
Bring back John Burridge, Trevor Steven, Chrissie Waddle, Steve Cram, Eric
Burdon, Bryan Ferry and if you thought I was joking,how about Walter Smith as
Souey's No.2?

4/10 No way he'd leave Man United, plus Souness seems adamant on ex-Blackburn coaches.

Camp Scottish interior design, TV presenting duo, Colin and Juthtin have
been recruited to give the main stand foyers and public toilets a well needed
face lift for season 2005/2006. Reservations were voiced by the duo concerning
the inability to exthpress the palette of colour they wish to use. After finding
out that only a black, white and grey theme would be appropriate throughout
with absolutely no deviation. A quote from The Chums says they have "exthhausted every avenue and the resriction has become too much of a strain on their relationship".

1/10 Thank you for making me laugh.

Concerned by Newcastle's backline, Souness to become match fit and slot
himself at centre back....why not? with the age of defenders he is planning to
sign or has signed, it may make just as much sense to him.

2/10 But I've heard Jackie Charlton, United's 'hero' against Norwich is considering a pro contract.

Tottenham are especially jealous of the Newcastle setup due to their lack
of quality in they wanna be a Premiership team they so will put bids in for a few of Newcastle players Dyer and Robert to name a few.

7/10 Tottenham would just be the only team stupid enough to buy those two. Spurs fans don't need players who graft like Newcastle fans do, they can settle for foreigners who just do a few moments of skill in a match. So maybe.

Newcasle are plotting a double move for Ledley King and Jermaine Defoe
in the transfer window.

6/10 We don't have the money for both. I'd say King would be the more logical choice, but then this is Newcastle.

I hope Souness will keep Shearer for a further year. I've heard that
Souness wants to get Les Ferdinand in January! I think he and Shearer would make a wonderful couple again. What do you think, Nicky?
4/10 I think the chances of us signing another striker is very low. However I do think that Souness may be able to tempt Big Al - we will have to wait and see.

Souness will make a triple bid in January for Brett Emerton, Ledley King
and Jean-Alain Boumsong you heard it hear 1st.
6/10 King, probably. Emerton, maybe. I don't rate Boumsong and I think it's unlikely.

Sir Bobby will be a regular visitor at Newcastle and come on everybody just
admit it he is the best thing that happened to the team Toon salutes you living

Shearer to move to Hartlepool to become Player/Manager to get the
experience he needs to be a Premiership Manager.

Souness blows his top during first game, gets fined & banned to the

I've heard a rumour that Newcastle are going to get a top-class manager.
I've also heard that Shergar is running next Saturday!! You couldn't afford our

1/10 It was only a rumour we got Souness.

England.
2/10 I don't think so...he's just started at one of the best clubs in Europe, Valencia.

Nicky Butt can't believe what he has got himself involved with! He feels
as if the club is losing it's high status and is not sure if he made the right
decision to move to Tyneside.

Bob Moncur is conducting negotiations for the maggies to join the SPL as
apart from him coming back and kicking the current crop of teeny bopper
layabouts up in the air (John McNamee) style its the only chance of Silverware
that we'll get!

Although the way this club is going, it can't be ruled out!

I think Newcastle's best the decision was to have Martin O'Neill with
Shearer as assistant.

The reason why Fabio Cannavaro turned Newcastle down was because he was
scared incase this crazy welshman called 'Bellamy' knocked him out like he did
to his former team-mate Materazzi.
1/10
He turned us down because we are, well the way Newcastle are.

David O'Leary will be replaced by none other than Sir Bobby Robson IF
O'Leary decides to join the Toon. Jaap Stam has informed his agent he is ready
to join Newcastle on Loan with a possible buy option. Stuart Pearce and Martin
Keown will be offered lucrative coaching positions with NUFC. John Carver is
being eyed by Southampton to be their new Manager. Ottmar Hittzfeld is
Newcastles 1st Choice although the German has demanded "Huge" wages. Monday afternoon will see a press-conference to unviel the new Manager which at the moment points to Hittzfeld.
8/10 Although there's no mention of Strachan and I'm not convinced about Stam.

If Venables gets the job then Peter Taylor is to become his No 2.
6/10 Could well be. I've always been a keen admirer of Peter Taylor.
