He came on as sub today, though...

"I cannot get my head around how good Leon Best has turned out to be!"- Newcastle fan on 606. A comment both Saints and Sky Blues can agree on? "Leon Best has been absolutely outstanding in working hard and making goals for Demba Ba"-Jason Roberts on 606. Alongside Dann, Turner, Westwood, Fox...

They are more stubborn than a mule, I fear we've a long way to go before we bottom out! They've had a pretty easy ride so far I think...

I could even see it being 9-15k. Either way, I imagine Newcastle are footing part of the bill.

OK fair enough. I guess he wouldn't be near the team if he was ready. Probably the same with around half of our players fitness-wise, certainly Deegan, who was a shadow of the player he'd been before his latest knock. Problem is, when will McPake be ready? Ever? Sometime next season? You...

Nah, reckon Lovenkrands would be on much less than that. Spent most of his career in 2nd rate leagues.

Seriously, I listened to the first half and some of the second of Newcastle at lunchtime and nearly every player we have mentioned on here was either in the team or came on as sub. The only two, who aren't raw youngsters, that weren't, are Lovenkrands and Smith. It has to be one of them, and I'd...

Platt is always articulate in his interviews, is a great team-player, if not the most gifted, and spoke perfect sense today. Something of a rallying call, I would say. It was notable today that in the first half Christie was very vocal. In general, our players didn't communicate enough-and...

I was wondering the same, just when did we last come from 2 behind?!?

I kinda agree OSB. Like I implied, maybe the plan was to put everything they have on the roulette, and if it came off, place a bid straight away?

Nah, too much to hope for I reckon.

They said on R5 earlier that Blackburn fans were planning balloons and even paid for a plane to fly over with a banner draped behind it! I wonder, Ben who posts on here said that he usually puts his banner up near the end as they can't be bothered to remove them by then. Was it him? I...

I thought I'd read he was now on a 3 year deal? He looks like an ex-footballer, sadly. Cameron was trying to carry him.

Lets hope they didn't gamble their funds away! Any idea on who the investors were?

Yes he "felt his calf" this morning. Sounds uncannily similar to the Turner situation; I suppose he won't play for us again and be sold at Christmas.

I think Thorn did as much as he could with his resources to get us back in the game. He switched to a 442, tore into players, gave Deegan the hook, and brought it back to 2-2. No complaints at the manager from me. AFC your points completely ignore the reality of the situation. "The only hope now...

It was sublime, but he was picking out an unmarked man. We made them look good at times, and McPake looks like he's absolutely finished as a player. Why did they offer him a long deal? And I was a big fan of his! About 18 months ago...

Great work by the lad in the build up to Platt's goal. Was a bit naive at times, understandably, and balooned a cross into the stand when well placed, but he looks to have character. I liked the way he stood up to attackers rather than back off-couldn't really blame him for Fox's cross for the...

It was very interesting: at one point a steward ran upstairs, seemed to be asking what they should do about it, and then just went back down-assumingly having been told to leave it. We should bedeck the stadium in them at future games!

Let it go, guys-the OP hasn't replied to any posts since he started the thread. Classic WUM behaviour!
