2-2 I will settle for that, Newcastle have a poor rec in London, but what a turn around at the Toon out in the toon last night and the atmos was great funny how a football team can have that effect on a city.

good result!!! happy with that! Martins is mint!! Hopefully we can end Chelsea's aeason next monday! All in all this season wasn't as bad as i feared halfway through!

I would like to see Keegan put out a junior or a reserve team, if we win ten that would be stunning and if we get beat Alex eats off the floor Ferguson will be gutted, Keegan gets his revenge.

Newcastle should buy Fábio Coentrão before another big club does.

Liverpool are reported to be after Newcastle keeper Steve Harper, Keegan has replied by telling the scousers that they are wasting their time trying to unsettle the Toons longest serving player in their squad.
Harper for England.
Strong links with Richard Dunn, a player that would and steel to the Toons defence.

Carlos Cuellar for Alan Smith swap deal with Rangers.

[Flab]

RANGERS plan a £5million bid for Toon misfit Alan Smith.

And Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan is weighing up a swoop for West Ham striker Dean Ashton.

Ex-England star Smith, 27, (left) has failed to nail a regular starting spot under Keegan and has struggled since his £6m switch from Manchester United last August.

He was at Sunday’s Old Firm derby and Gers boss Walter Smith is set to test the water with a £5m bid at the end of the season.

But Toon sources say Smith’s £60,000-a-week wages could be a stumbling block for the Scottish champions.

Keegan wants Ibrox defender Carlos Cuellar and will push for a swap deal to land the Spaniard.

The Toon chief also has Ashton, 24, and Everton left-back Leighton Baines on his summer wish-list.

Ashton scored against Toon in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Upton Park.

Who's the Gers' defender? Haven't really heard much about him.

Would be happy to get rid of Smith, too similar to our other centre midfielders.

Don't really want Ashton, with Martins, Owen, Viduka (Smith if he stays and Milner if Desperate) we got plently of talent up front!

He is great, he gets MOTM every Rangers game he plays in. He far too good for them.

yeh to be honest it wouldnt be a bad idea to get rid of Smith. im not sure whether vidukas got another top season left in him, i mean he must be getting on a bit now. the key is to keep hold of owen and martins and maybe bring in another decent striker for support. cuellar would be a well good signing providing that he could adapt to the English game. he's a strong defender and can score too.
