News roundup: a big man up-front (UPDATED)

Billy Davies is looking forward to Sunday’s match against Southampton, before his real work begins. That work being bringing Dexter Blackstock to the club permanently. And if not Dexter then the “big man”, Dele Adebola (who I’m still not keen on but didn’t have give Wes the run-around this season). Well that’s about it for [...]

Safe

In case you hadn’t noticed, Reading did us a bit of a favour last night. Norwich now cannot catch us, making the final relegation spot a battle between them and Barnsley. Also meaning that Sunday’s game is now stress-free! So congratulations to Billy and the players, congratulations to everyone associated with the club. I said [...]

News Roundup: Davies v Davey, Sousa and Blackstock, McSheffrey, Psycho, delusions and Wenger

Davies and Davey go to war over Billy’s Chris Morgan comments – you can also hear Billy’s post-match comments. Paolo Sousa says that Dexter Blackstock came to us without his knowledge. Is Gary McSheffrey on his way? Stuart Pearce unsurprisingly spotted at punk gig. Are we a chronically deluded Championship side, as the author argues [...]

News Roundup: local hero returns, Forest look for players and sponsors

As the Geordies bring in an inexperienced local hero to try and save them in their relegation battle, our inexperienced local hero (that link gets me every time) who couldn’t quite save us in one of our many relegation battles returns to the City Ground. And is beaten. The excellently named Lincoln striker Danny N’Guessan [...]
