It's October, which means it is time to see just how far down the table Liverpool and United can actually sink.  ^ A Good Table Quick Question for the mods - is it acceptable to discuss United's upcoming midweek fixtures in this thread, or should there be a distinct thread for those?

Tiote wants to Cheick out. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/11132861/Cheick-Tiote-I-want-to-leave-Newcastle-United.html I've never been impressed by him. Yes, he runs around a lot and helps to cover our defensive shortcomings but imo he has no place in a proper side, it's just we're quite bad so he gets games. He's our Cattermole, tbh - a bit reckless, a bit poo poo, but he puts in effort so those deficiencies are quite often downplayed.

Its surprising Ashley hasn't sacked him yet. To make the comments he did to the press and then to carry on like nothing happened isn't usually the MO for his type. Not to mention a toon army mercenary is going to glass him at some point.

If it truly was only a joke, Ashley can't follow through on it, he can't sack him now because he'll lose face. He'll keep him on until Christmas at least imo, Pardew's wages are probably pretty cheap if he has debts to Ashley. In the meantime we can continue to lol at Newcastle and their incredible ineptness.

He'd be in light training by the weekend and only a week or so from sprinting by the Estonia game. Worth having him in the squad, it's not like England hasn't previously called up players to settle them in when they arent going to play. And it's Shelvey ffs. He's lovable but not great. And yeah, on current form Downing gets in the squad now, but it's Downing so he'd probably have a breakdown. Best to leave it a while and see if he keeps form and confidence up, but he's definitely playing well.

Jose posted:Don't forget £20m out in January True, but overall I think you have to give Newcastle good marks in player transfers over the past couple seasons. And I don't think there is anything wrong with Ashley refusing to invest more of his money in the club. He already loaned Newcastle something like £130m. Iirc, none of that money was from buying the club either. My understanding is that the main problem with Ashley (other than the Pardew mess) is that he's let Newcastle fall behind financially. He paid off all of the loan sharks that Shephard used, but hasn't done anything right on the business side since then.
