I'd bring him on as a sub. Say give him the last half an hour. Will you sub him off again when extra time kicks in? POW And thats why he must start

Not sure we needed to bother. Hardly takes much to find out the price of a ticket, pie or program. That said it still seems like a bit of a half arsed/misleading survey. You can spend more than £37 on a ticket at ours for a start, but yeah, our average ticket is pretty reasonable, especially compared to London clubs (which is why a club like Spurs can apparently make more than us on a matchday despite their lower attendances).

Fair play.

Not even sure that they have all the prices correct.

He's an odd one. I like the look of him, his pace, and some of the stuff he does is great, but then he loses the ball and has that blank lost look on his face. Glad that we have him though, just hope to see the wingers shifted around somehow to accomodate Marveaux more in the next few games.

Think of it as a player swap and console yourself with the fact that they got Rainforrest and his dead baby routine and you got happy clappy me. The Simpson photoshop?

I'm not holding my breath.

Good player, but happy to see that spunking £10m on him isn't quite working out so far. Long may it continue.

Not sure it's that easy, my view of being balanced may be a little different from your view of a balanced outlook sometimes. ...but yes, CT is somewhat/very happy clappy I grant you.

There are a good deal of positives (on the pitch where it matters) to embrace at the moment tbf.

No need to go overboard. Seems a pretty standard, 'we're doing well so no player is just going to walk into the team' spiel. On past form, Pardew is pretty good at switching out senior players like Shola, Smith etc while publicly backing them.

I don't like it.... but if they can persuade me it can make us more competitive on the pitch....

When someone offered me a bet that Carroll wouldn't score 10 goals this season, I couldn't have shaken his hand on it any faster. Getting a bit worried now.

translates: it’s not in the clubs interest to let it be known they’ve signed a crocked player, especially when the intention is to make a big profit on a player they got on the cheap because he’s known to be crocked. It’s the same knee that’s had 2 lot’s of surgery on!!!! reassuring PR statement though, isn’t it?.... Yeah, because buying a crock is a surefire way of making a big profit down the line. Maybe you could give the club a bit of credit once in a while for bringing in some pretty impressive young players.

He can get 3 full training sessions to get prepared for Tuesday rather that travel and sit on his arse. Pardew prefers to get him fully ready. I agree.

I wish some spiritual bastard would cough up the money and buy the club so it could be run according to our heritage then. It lives within the fans. Then there are the likes of Jack Walker and numberous owners in the football league who actually care about the clubs they manage/own... Good lord. What a delightful wind-up.

Christ, we must be going for it, there isn't a single natural defender on the bench.

Because he might get injured in training. Aye that'll be the one like Yeah I reckon it is actually: Latest quotes from Alan Pardew, Thursday concerning our latest addition, Davide Santon: Two operations on the same knee and its still fucked. Seems very likely hes a crock. Wash out that dirty whore mouth of yours. :'(

There is no plus side. If the lad has no knees, he'll not make a very good first choice.

Unhealthy? What the dickens does that mean. Does his knee look 'green around the gills'?
