No better than Simpson.

He has given Pardew another fucking excuse

Fucking hate this club at the moment. Simple as that

A very slow and loud rendition of Cabaye's song tonight please, on repeat.

If I'm in Cabaye's shoes, I'll jump at Arsenal's offer no matter what. One of the world's top managers, an attractive attacking side in the CL yearly as opposed to the current world he is in. The choice is more than obvious really. I was taking the piss but agree, although personally, I don't think Wenger still retains the "top manager" status. Too long without Silver!

Sure Cabaye would wait in any event to see how they go in the CL qualifier?

£10M is a complete piss take! They can fuck right off. Then again, after Saturday, I am hardly shocked they have started bidding for players today!

Starting at left back

I feel slightly more reassured now that Pardew has confirmed "we are prepared"!!! NOT (Cisse up front on his own, Jonas to start, 4-5-1, keep it tight) Looking forward to it in an ironic sense just to see if he really has changed anything at all over the summer. I won't be disappointed if he has not, as I was not expecting him too anyway!

Really - you must be in the 2% of the country without BB!

Just out of interest, anyone know how much the likes of Campbell get paid a week?

They will point to the fact "we brought things forward in Jan" and that we invested in the squad then.

So, our only signing, a loan signing is an injured loan signing.

Looking forward to my fantasy team getting off to a good start (Navas and Fernandinho) Navas will get James Milner'd. Very risky! I've steered clear of Man City players as it seems impossible to predict who will be played. I'll be surprised if Navas isn't a regular starter for them like. Prepare to be surprised then. Milner started ahead of him in the majority of pre-season games, despite the fact Navas joined them very early on. The constant rotating with Man City strikers and wingers will be a nightmare with City this season. Definitely nowt to do with giving Navas a break after playing in the Confeds of course. Alright, we'll see soon enough. That Pellegrini looks like he's got a whole lot of tinkerman in him. You just watch. I agree. With that much talent in the squad it must be hard to determine your best team/player selection! That could go against them in the first few games.

Pardew and JFK contracts clearly have a provision that awards heavily (in terms of bonus) with respect to player costs. We will almost certainly be one of the most profitable clubs when this extra money kicks in - next financial year. The only value I can see in that is that we will be far more attractive to buy then. Surely another reason why and mediocre to shite manager is still in place with a farce of a DOF too, all to keep costs down.

TFFT

- No investment - Shit Manager - Poor tactics - Inevitable beating - On sky, Monday night, £'000 a ticket

It's really happening again. Conveniently forgetting the fact the window has been open for a few weeks with NO international tournaments this summer. What an utter prick he is. At least he is consistent with his bullshit and excuses year after year. So predictable.

I am beginning to think no more signings is a good thing. We will look as bad, if not worse than last year which should in theory see the end of Pardew in charge. Then again, the prospect of JFK taking over the reigns again or the replacement being as bad if not worse than Pardew is probably even worse. Fuck sake.

Jonas? Really.

No one. I think the excuses for getting one person on loan and no one else, despite a number leaving will be along the usual lines or could not get over the lines. "we are happy with what we have got and will see if we need to add in January" If this deals collapses, that's it I reckon - no other players in. NO investment.

We should finish 7th with the team we have. Add Pardew to the mix and it could be anywhere from 7th to 17th!

Feels like you're actually there. Faye clearly promoting high knee action

I said 6-1 rangers. I did

6-1 to Rangers.
