Carroll looked like an absolute lump for the first few months of the season but gradually improved and benefitted from regular games and supply from Xmas onwards. He's 5 times the player now as he was just 12 months ago but will still struggle next year. He's got the aggression and the attitude but the better defenders will cope with him and those pinning their hopes on him to score the goals to keep us up might be in for a bit of a shock. Hope I'm wrong obviously.

As it stands they're not good enough to score enough goals to keep us in the division. They'll do ok in some games but over the course of a 38 game season Carroll, Ameobi, Lovenkrands, Best and Ranger will struggle to get 25 goals between them. Top and bottom of it is that unless we sign 2 strikers who can score consistently we'll come straight back down.

Just a hunch but I think Mourinho's move to Madrid will end in tears. He's a fantastic manager and Madrid is a fantastic football city but I just don't see it clicking for all concerned. I get the impression that simply winning isn't enough at Madrid. You've got to win in style. Those Real teams of the 50's are always going to be a hard act to live up to and anything less than the League and Champions League will mean he's binned.

Man City make me sick. Aye, make the most of your champions League games next season. City will keep on spending until they get there and will be even tougher to finish above next year.

i believe him. i have a small penis. do you believe me? Not really interested in your affliction tbh.

Well if he says he works for Puma then it's obviously 100% legit. Because everyone knows that people always tell the truth on the interwebs.

Agree 100% Doesn't warrant a starting place but if we're chasing a goal he'd be an excellent option purely due to his pace. I'd take him.

He wants to be on similar money to Lampard, Drogba and Terry, which is basically insane. That's what happens when a player runs his contract down though. You've got to pay over the odds to keep him, especially when he hasn't been selected as much as he'd want. How much would Joe Cole fetch under contract? Probably in the similar ball park as these players. How much is he getting paid now btw? 90k i think, we wants to be on 140k or so which roman seems to object to Probably worth paying then since he's a £15-20m player, on fire possibly £10m more. Even if it's to keep him for a season and selling him, the extra £2.5m a year is worth it. Exactly. Cole's not worth £140k a week but it would cost Chelsea much more than that to replace him if he walked away for nothing. It would probably need a £15m player who's taking circa £100k a week in wages on a 4 year contract. That's a cool £35m to pay for his replacement. He's only asking for more cash because he knows he holds the big cards in the negotiations.

Have they? They spent the bare minimum on the design process to come up with what looks like a kit with non league production costs, but supporters will still buy them in their tens of thousands because that’s what they do. If this is the real kit a NUST orginsed boycott might not be a bad idea, force them to stop treating us like mugs and come up with a shit hot design? Aye, they have. They could have designed and produced a good kit but haven't. I've got no problem with people liking it because we all like different stuff but I think they're shit.

Changed my mind on them. Puma have fucked it up. They look cheap and nasty and the 'Toon Army' thing is the big fuck you from Puma. The away and 3rd ones must have taken about 30 seconds each to design. Granted, the home one has taken a bit longer to fuck up - with the white shit around the badge, sticking the puma in the wrong place, having the box around the sponsor etc. They had the perfect chance to take their time to design a spanking new kit to put adidas to shame and they've fucked it up. They're wank.

Re-arrange the wedding. She just read that over my shoulder, midds. "Don't even think about it" she said... blackeye.gif Ask her who wears the fucking trousers. Then shout "EXACTLY" just as she starts to say something. Lasses love that. Well, that went well. She said she does, as I'm wearing shorts. That's you fucked then. All the best anyway mate.

Get in. Well done Blackpool.

If those are the real ones then they're a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting something smart and unique and they are neither. Puma haven't totally fucked it up but they're nowhere near as nice as they could have been.

Next goal wins it.

Get in you slut.

Somewhere, in a darkened bedroom in North Tyneside, Stifler is wanking furiously.

What a fucking shambles of a thread. I'm locking it the next time another spasticated design is posted.

No idea who the ref is in the Copa del Rey but he's absolute turboshit. Seen him a few times this season and I think he's lost control of just about all of them.

Obviously thrown by Leon Best then?

Glad it's us going up there rather than that lot coming down here.

It had been coming tbf. I bet they've had a lovely day out though.

They really have learned absolutely nothing have they? They have no concept of how to operate a football club. How many clubs invest £0 each year? What was the point of getting promoted first time round if you're not prepared to spend a bit of cash to stay there? I just don't understand them or the backward, retarded decisions they make. They're thick as mince.
