I can see you's trying to cash in due to the wages etc never know though, the players might want to stay 


I'm hoping we can get rid of some of the deadwood, we have a few players who contracts end soon:


Wes Brown 
Steve Harper
Valentin Roberge
Ola Toivonen (End of loan)
Dame N'Doye (End of loan)
Yann M'Vila  (End of loan)



Want us to sign Yedlin and M'Vila on permanent deals.

None of them have really had a chance - What's O'shea like? Surely he is past it too, Yedlin will be a a canny signing though if you can get him, M'Vila hasn't started though has he? Or is that Lens I'm thinking of

Still shite, first time he has started in a while i think, Brown hasn't played for ages.

Its Lens who hasn't played much although he has been injured.

Quite a bit discussion on other forums. Some of it quite harsh. Found it when looking earlier.

To be honest, I hadn't seen much of Colback before Newcastle signed him. The way some of the mackems (including the 'proper' one,) were going on, I thought he was a world beater.
Haven't rated him at all over the last few seasons.

He wasn't like, he would have a good string of games then fade for a few etc... still find it funny when he said: he didn't want battle relegation again.........

Ah ok, Lens might go then. Khazri is one you will want to keep hold of though

Not a bad little read and there are snippets in there, that didn't make the press at the time.

Manchester United's final league game of the season with Bournemouth has been rearranged for Tuesday at 20:00 BST

Police have confirmed a mobile phone which saw Old Trafford evacuated in a bomb scare was a TRANING DEVICE left behind after a drill.

England squad announcement at 11am.... bet its the same shite players....

(16 May 2016, 9:01 am)Michael wrote England squad announcement at 11am.... bet its the same shite players....

100% correct 


Goalkeepers: Hart, Forster, Heaton
Defenders: Bertrand, Clyne, Cahill, Rose, Smalling, Stones, Walker
Midfielders: Alli, Barkley, Dier, Delph, Drinkwater, Henderson, Lallana, Milner, Sterling, Townsend, Wilshere
Strikers: Kane, Rashford, Rooney, Sturridge, Vardy


Why the hell is Wilshere and Delph in the squad, they've done nothing all season..............

If Newcastle cant tempt Benitez then they are apparantly after Neil Warnock...

Never has an anagram been so fitting for one man

COLIN WANKER

Newcastle eye Colin Wanker if Benitez bails

2 promotions in 5 years, with 2 divisional titles...

It is getting closer...

I see us getting it on sooner than people may expect...In the FA Cup next season I can live in hope

Ye, i think its a hard league now, going to be interesting next season, not just in the lower leagues but the premiership to!

(16 May 2016, 12:04 pm)Michael wrote Ye, i think its a hard league now, going to be interesting next season, not just in the lower leagues but the premiership to!

There will be a good battle in the Premiership next season...

There will be a good battle between Chelsea and City, both Pep and Conte will want to hit the ground running.

If Sunderland start at 5000/1 i may stick a 10er on them yeah right, lol...

The bottom will interesting next season, with Burnley, Middlesbrough, Bournemouth, Watford, Swansea, Norwich, Sunderland and whoever wins the play-offs all fighting to not be in the relegation fight.

The Championship will be good too, with Newcastle, Villa and Norwich, teams like Burton coming up.

On paper Newcastle should win it...and Villa should be there or there abouts, but I think Villa will really struggle

I can't wait to see Pep in the prem, not so sure about Conte though.

I agree with the players Newcastle have they should do well.

Walter Mazzarri new Watford manager. Never heard of him until now!

I still think it was a bad idea to get rid of Quique, Though it might save his reputation if Watford have a bad run next season!

Terrible decision - I have a feeling Watford won't do as well next season unless they buy a few new players.

Nobody really knew who Sanchez Flores was a year ago though, and that turned out well for them. Their form wasn't great in the second half of the season.

I must admit to misreading the surname and when looking at the photo, thinking that he had aged over the years.
I was convinced it was Walter Materazzi, former Everton defender and victim on Zidane's head-butt.

Manchester United have won the FA Cup!

A goal in extra time from Jesse Lingard won it for them, after Smalling was sent off. It had finished 1-1 in normal time.


Not even an hour after it finished, this was announced:
"Man Utd to appoint Mourinho"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36351371

At least wait a bit until announcing it. Apparently the contract was signed prior to the cup final, pretty disrespectful in my opinion.
