Is it confirmed anywhere that Robert really has signed and will they show him at SJP tonight?

Read over at .COM they now has confirmed it.

Also Acuna is back on the bench tonight along with Bob Lee.

From nufc.co.uk, the orificial site. They also have a picture of him in a Toon strip.

FRENCH WINGER HAPPY TO BE ON TYNESIDE Newcastle United new boy Laurent Robert has spoken of his delight at joining the Magpies. After completing the signing at St. James' Park this morning, Robert said: "I am very happy to be at Newcastle, the St. James' Park stadium is magnificent and I cannot wait to see it full to its 52,000 capacity.

"Tonight I'll be rooting for my new team-mates against 1860 Munich. It will be terrific if we can qualify for the UEFA Cup, and if we were to come up against my former team, Paris St Germain, in the UEFA Cup at some stage, that would be a dream."

Robert has been handed the number 32 shirt at the Club which only leaves numbers 19, 24 and 28 vacant amongst United's 40-strong first team squad.

No-one around? 1-0! Gary Speed diving header from Nol free kick, after Shola brought down after a good run. And Troyes winning on goal difference, 2-2 but they have an away goal against Wolfsburg.

The webcast is driving me ******* mental... I totally missed the second goal. WHY are they so bloody useless? Can't we divert some of the transfer kitty to pay for the sacking of the whole .cock team and a new, decent set-up? How much can it cost?

Still, at least I can hear bits of it. Pity poor Swift - he's stuck at work and can't make it for the commentary and beer evening :) er... I mean :( ....

Mine's cutting out a lot too. If you missed it, troyes won so they are going to be playing in the final with one of the teams playing at St James tonight. It sounds a bit worrying but I think we might just scrape it. They've got a player called something like BobbyMooreOff, who sounds pretty active. Munchen just had a corner. Seems still very tense and certainly not a pre-season friendly . Late channel by BobbyMooreOff on Robbie Elliott. Yellow Card

Late challenge I meant. Got a few Germans in my office, but they don't tackle us Brits from behind like this lot tonight. Acuna on, Speed off. Lua Lua on, Bellamy off, been quiet in 2nd Half says Mick. Agostino on , Munchen playing three strikers Agostino with Stroff and MadMax. Elliott cool as a cucumber apparently. Lua Lua scores, he caught Riseth in possession went round goalie and from narrow angle squeezed it in. We can relax now I reckon.
