Moussa Sissoko

There are just under 4 hours to go before we have to make those final fantasy decisions ahead of the Week 32 deadline so let's get chatting.

Papiss Cisse scored a wonder-goal as Newcastle triumphed over Southampton 4-2.

Shola Ameobi's penalty was enough to push Newcastle over Metalist Kharkiv, 1-0.

Papiss Cisse scored a pair of perfectly good goals that were ruled out for imaginary offsides as Newcastle drew 0-0 against Metalist Kharkiv.

Newcastle grabbed a surprise win over Chelsea, and possibly ended the managerial tenure of Rafael Benitez, thanks to Moussa Sissoko's brilliant performance.

If it all felt like the first half, we'd be jubilant. As it was, it didn't... and we aren't.... but we do have 3 very very very important points.

With many of their relegation rivals facing stiff competition, Aston Villa has a golden chance to make their outlook slightly less dire. Can Villa pull themselves together against Newcastle and give themselves some much needed breathing room?

Moussa Sissoko has been confirmed by the Newcastle United official site on a staggering 6 and a half year deal. A massive January window continues for Mike Ashly and our Magpies.

Newcastle have signed the 23 year-old defender to a five and a half year deal.

Newcastle are reportedly close to signing four new players...but none of them are holding shirts in photos just yet.
