Any mention of that Porto coach, Boas supposedly going to Chelsea yet? If he does it would be likely he would be looking at the likes of Hulk and Falcao pushing Sturridge further down the pecking order.

Jan/Feb could be a lot worse when we will be missing a few at the ACN

Is it not just possible that we have accepted that this role will result in suspensions (not to mention the ACN) and rather than have Smith anywhere near the team we are happy to have two quality players for the role who can go out and play their natural game, accepting that yellow cards that come with that?

stability ? pile of s**** really. find out where you want to bring your kid up, contact the nearest prem club and adjust your wage demands to get the move. i'm fairly sure even if he packed in tomorrow he'd ever have to work again . who on here wouldn't take their kid to a new school every 2 or 3 years if they were to get 30kpw for it ? It's 4 or 5 years before this unborn kid starts school anyway so its not really an issue in that respect.

Joey on Talksport "On the whole last season was good to be back. Had a good season last season and hopefully we can kick on. The current group of players so hungry to do it, just think what it would be like to bring a trophy back to that city, it would be mind blowing really." On Nolan "Real good friend of mine beyond football. For me it is quite disappointing. No one player will ever define a football club. To lose Kevin in the dressing room is disappointing but you have to believe in the process and that the gaffer is going to bring in a better player." "The better players you play with the better you should be able to play yourself. I have no problems with players leaving if better ones come in." "Sometimes players don't want to go, I've been on record as saying I don't want to go." On his negotiations "I was in negotiations in Januray with them, I have to be careful what I say, I decided I wanted a bit of longevity with the club, partner is pregnant with first child, I wanted a four year contract to stay in the area. After a bit of stability, money never an issue but we never reached a compromise, became quite frustrating in the end. Carroll had just left and I put it on hold till the summer. When we went back in to negotiate, I wasn't there, received a phone call saying not even been offered 1p a week. Newcastle dont think I can play past 29 so if I have to go and ply my trade elsewhere I am more than confident I can do that for 5 or six years. So I need to play my best this next season and try and win a trophy." Does he think he will be there at the start of the coming season? "It is was it is. I would be very surprised, I have had a number of phonecalls of interest, I don't want to leave, family are settled, great relationship with club staff. I have no ambition to leave but if someone come in, like offering CL football I would have to consider it. Otherwise it is a no brainer, I won't be leaving the club and I am looking forward to going back for pre season training." Overall came across as very supportive of the club. Seems his text yesterday was likely a spur of the moment thing, possibly after a few drinks at Ascot.

Surely he is on his way to London, on the way back from France to home?

So am I meant to believe that the purpose of this top is for when our black home strip, with two white stripes, clashes, and the 2nd strip does too somehow, then we resort to a third strip of, well, black with two white stripes?

I think b'zig could stick like

Apparently a win for Man United today breaks our premier league record of 14 wins in a row.

Don't see many unknown kids in the WBA lineup either.

Spurs are so predictable with the long ball to crouch, shame it works so often.

I take it they at least have a hefty fine do they?

Design inspired by a pack of 3 highlighter pens.

Are any Man United players a booking away from missing the final?

Any decent quality images of the back yet? The patch seems to be a different material to the rest of the shirt. EDIT: Kitbag has the back too and it is indeed a 'breathable' material for the patch.

But what number?

The one positive

Back is solid black top half with the two white stripes bottom half. You can see it on the .co.uk shop page https://shop.nufc.co.uk/cgi-bin/live/ecommerce.pl?site=theclubshop_nufc&state=item&dept_id=07&sub_dept_id=15&product_id=180829

Pics up on .cock now

Whats going on with Harper's shorts? One leg longer than the other? And there had better be some stripes down the back on the home top.

Not even a snigger for my Marvin Martian?

Found a pic of him http://iamkele.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/marvin_the_martian_jackets.jpg

Never a foul by Terry that, let alone a card.
