Well I'm sure it can't be much worse if we're 2 down to York! (No offence to any York fans).

Ah I thought it was 4 teams who got relegated.

Ah right cheers, the Football League is a bit confusing as you have different number of teams relegated/promoted in each league.

That was the year the Premier League was reduced from 22 to 20, if I remember correctly it was 1 automatic and the Play-Off winner that went up that year...

The fee is 10m they reckon... if that's true and i was a Palace fan.. i wouldn't be happy.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Pretty sure that is how much we actually paid for him when he signed for us anyway.

Has Wickham actually done anything while at Sunderland to warrant an £8m move? I've hardly heard the lad mentioned.

He scored 5 goals in 6 games at the end of the 2013/14 other than that, no.

His stats don't look the best, 11 in 74 appearances for Sunderland?! 

Quite pleased with the business Newcastle have done actually, I'd like to see another centre back come in, potentially one of N'Koulou, Matip, Abdennour or Alvarez Balanta. If we get Austin and Ivan Toney in as well, I'd be happy, oh and I'm currently researching how much Williamsons bus fare to Leeds will be Wink

It was 8 mill with add-ons and other clauses which would have took it about 10 mill if the bonuses were paid out
