Newcastle vs Mansfield, 7th January 2006

The game against the Stags was not shown live here but i did manage to catch Football Extra at the end of the day. The team played ok in patches and got away with a slim 1-0 win, thanks to the Stag's awful finishing, the magpies proceed to the next round. The defence was shyte as usual. On a more positive note, Shearer has grabbed his 200th goal for newcastle! Excellent, now i hope he goes on to score a few more till the end of the season.

Unbelievebly in January, there's no transfer dealings going on for the magpies! We must be seriously broke! To the tune of 90 Million pounds! That's what i read in the paper actually, but you can't believe everything you read this days. Our pool of targets is shrinking by the day, Anelka is now a prime target for Everton, Meite is going someplace else and Nihat who looks to be on his way to Tyneside has now instead set his sights to Moscow. And we gave trial to a guy named Lanchor, Lanchor who? Yup, it's really that bad..
