This was a terrible first ten / fifteen weeks of the season, but almost by stealth there's been good news with Long, Best, Coleman and Clark starting to show, Duff getting back to form and so on.
I can't find anything online but tomorrow's Mail suggests that Best is injured and will miss the Macedonia game.
He's in the squad for newcastle today and not mentioned as an injury concern
Newcastle (from): Harper, Krul, Simpson, Perch, Ferguson, Enrique, Coloccini, Williamson, Campbell, S. Taylor, Tiote, Barton, Nolan, Gutierrez, Guthrie, Vuckic, Richardson, Lovenkrands, Best, Ameobi, Ranger, Kuqi.
not liking the sound of this lads... Trappatoni, get your finger out and meet with the lad.Pardew said: "It is very unfair to try to put Leon under this massive pressure - it has been growing day by day.
"He needs to have time and space to make the right decision as to who he wants to play for at international level.
"I don't expect a final decision unless Leon is ready for it.
"When he is ready to decide where to play his international football we will be supportive and happy for him.
"The nation that is going to get Leon Best is going to be a very fortunate one."
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Seems the Irish Newcastle trio of Ireland, Best and Folan have hit a sore spot with the fans after being pictured in a bar the evening before the Stoke game. Pardew is apparently unhappy. Hopefully Best doesn't see less action over this.

stop fraternising with the enemy Leon!
They do look like a pair of gimps though!!

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Your right

Bloody tabloids. This is such a non story.
1. None of them were playing the next day.
2. They went home early.
3. All 3 of them drank non-alcoholic drinks.
Tabloid just gets a photo, and some irate quotes from fans oblivious to the facts, and create a scandal out of it.
If you want to know more about how tabloids invent stories and scandals to sell papers, then read Richard Peppiatt's resignation letter to the Daily Star, where he reveals how they literally make stuff up on tight deadlines under immense pressure to have popular stories.

That's a pity. Good job the earliest Jon Walters' bird can be expecting next is in January.
