I should talk down Wigan's chances more often if this is the kinda thing it's gonna bring about.

Wigan are playing some good stuff at the moment. Glad we got you out of the way early as Martinez seems to be recreating the good times that served Swansea so well.

Jury's still out about Rodellega, we'll see if he can keep it up after Christmas or will he turn into another Zaki?

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | N | Newcastle | Newcastle reveal new stadium name

You've got to be kidding me? Alright, as soon as he said the rights for the naming of the stadium were up for grabs i could kind of see it coming yet for some reason im still struggling to comprehend how this man has the plums to pull this off.

So let me get this straight, he buys the club and then proceeds to force Kevin Keegan out of his job, signs players that HE wants that no one else knows shit about including background, reputation, previous employment or even the position they play on a field, oversee's Newcastles first relegation in 16 years, approves a disgusting yellow strip giving people, as if they needed it, just one more reason to laugh at Newcastle while they drop points against the likes of Scunthorpe and Blackpool and now he is to officially use their stadium name to plug his own company?

And he didnt buy Newcastle to make money, did he?

I of course cant help but find all of this excruciatingly funny on one hand but on the other, im almost as anxious for them to get rid of this useless cunt as they are.

Newcastlol United

And I thought the DW Stadium was a rubbish name

[Mojo]

It's not even just the fact that he's using his own company as the sponsor, which is pretty reprehensible as it is, but sportsdirect.com @ St. James' Park Stadium? It's a bit of a mouthful like.

^ Beautiful

Marlon King was a waste of space long before he got busted. Good thing he has been too - maybe as a result we'll actually look for a good striker in January. And yes, I do think he should be banned for life from the game. Chances are he won't be and English football will end up with another Joey Barton.

[Mojo]

I think theres an argument to be had either way but personally i dont see why the game needs people like King. I'd be all for a ban.

Villa 5-1 on the weekend

Im not sure if its looking good or not for us this season, draw and lose to Everton and WHUone week, then nail Bolton the next. Hopefully we can be a little more consistent and finish top 6 once again.
