Gateshead kick off their season today, as well. They face Chester at Gateshead International Stadium, kick off is 1500.

A significant investment programme is now being implemented to ensure that the stadium maintains the exceptionally high standards set when it opened. The most significant aspect of the work will see a rolling replacement programme for the stadium’s seats, which will commence soon.

Pogba to man Utd confirmed! £89m!!! What a ridiculous amount of money

EVERTON BID FOR KONE

Sky sources: Everton have bid £17m for Sunderland defender Lamine Kone.

The Ivorian centre back was signed by Sam Allardyce back in January this year, and helped steer the side to survival in the Premier League.

Yeah a nice bit of profit for Juve.

It seems a video has emerged of Kone coming from the Sunderland training ground, confirming he wants to stay at Sunderland BUT he hasn't been offered the new contract he was promised if we stopped up...

Typical Sunderland, JUST GIVE HIM IT!

Sunderland AFC have completed the double signing of Paddy McNair and Donald Love from Manchester United for a fee of £5.5 million.

3 defenders signed (although one can play Defensive midfielder).... need a striker now...

The fallout from Aston Villa’s EFL Cup exit at Luton Town last night rumbles on.

Club owner Tony Xia appears ready to wield the axe at Villa Park in the wake of the shock defeat at Kenilworth Road.


From Twitter (its him because it has the blue tick)

Dr. Tony Xia @Dr_TonyXia
Even we agreed to take the LC match as checking game, some players are not worth being given chance.

It seems Newcastle aren't having a good start to the season..... The fans on here, have gone quiet...

Just been reading about it. Saw the story this morning, but the body hadn't been named at that point.
His goal of the season vs Wimbledon is all over twitter.

I would like to know whats gone on, must have serious to deploy the taser...

Whatever has gone on does not take away the fact he has died, that on it's own is tragic enough 😟

Class result for Newcastle. Hopefully that will get us started as it's a great confidence boost.

Shane Duffy has had a great week 3 own goals and a red card

Sunderland showing why we are so shite.

Squad is crap, need more players...

10 days left in the transfer market and looks like we won't be signing anyone, we're defo going down this season....

Not watching the game anymore, I've gave up..

Aye, they can! and it was brilliant listening to all the "bewwwing" at full time.

Honestly, i don't care we lost, I've gave up caring about what happens.

You can tell when money is their mind, more than passion.

4 injuries tonight - Perez, Gayle and Mitro only seem to be concussion so hopefully will be fit for Brighton but Aarons seems a lot more serious.

He's only £5m too and a canny player.

Sissoko off to Everton for £30m. £30m for a player who scored once last season, and only 12 times in 133 appearances for us. 

5 years ago, £38m got you Aguero...

There's definitely a party in the Newcastle boardroom tonight

He told Everton to fuck off and joined Spurs instead haha. Everton have had a lucky escape!

Thinking about how much we have got for the dead wood in our squad it isn't bad really. £7.5 for Janmaat, £25m for Wijnaldum, £30m for Sissoko and £3m for Cisse. Not bad business considering in my eyes we have a better squad than last season
