While Jeremy is our resident NUFC supporter, he is out of pocket this week so I'm going to take over with my thoughts on the transfer of Demba Ba from WHU to St. James' Park. Taken as a move by itself, there is little to do other than like it a lot. NUFC is desperate for strikers and Ba was very effective over the second half of last season at Upton Park.

Newcastle have signed West Ham striker Demba Ba on a free transfer having scored 7 goals in 12 Premier League appearances for the Hammers before their relegation from the EPL.

Stupidity from Gervinho

Football is back. First match over and done with. A sense of deja vu to add into the mix. Last season we ended up drawing 1-1 at Anfield and Laurent Koscielny got sent off. This time around Gervinho got sent off as we also ended up in a stalemate in the first fixture of the season.
