Sounds plausible.

Really ? and i'm married to Wonder Woman, what an ego. Just like Ashley not wanting to sell at a loss, it can only be a good thing. We have to do well to get what they want.

Was that not mainly down to accommodation blocks or summat? We could well have top level academy status actually looking around. We appear on ManU's fixture list - http://www.manutd.com/en/Players-And-Staff/The-Academy/Academy-News/2013/Jul/Manchester-United-Under-18-fixtures-2013-2014.aspx And after not hearing owt after the last round of judging The Mag came to this conclusion - http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/exclusive-newcastle-united-get-top-academy-status-but-they-just-forgot-to-tell-us/

There are plans to 'rebuild it' just needs Ashley's approval. Pardew says that we have fallen behind top clubs in terms of facilities "especially water-based recovery and stuff like that". While I know very little about this kind of stuff, most Premier League teams have pools at the training ground these days don't they? We have blow up ice baths etc. Be good to get some upgrades mind; think Ashley has been fairly good on sorting out the training grounds to be fair.

Levitation? Walking on air to be down the Dene marra.

Fair enough.

Burlesque revue?

If you look back most of us are saying, top ten if we can sign a three or four players. The squad would then be good enough, it's whether Pardew can rise to the occasion and be better than last season. Out of interest, if we only get one, or none at all, which seems far more likely than the three or four additions you mention, what would you then consider a realistic objective? Say we get two strikers, i think that's what'll happen. 8th-12th would be my guess. If we sign only one, 10th to 16th. If we sign no one i think we will be in serious trouble (because of Pardew mainly). Obviously just my opinion them, but if we had a different manager, ie a better one. I think with our squad those scenarios would be 2 or 3 places better in each. Even if we do get players in, Pardew is a problem, we can only hope he's learned but going by the way the team has lined up again, the dearth of chances being made again is a major worry. That's a fair enough assessment, agree with that. I just fear there is no chance we will get more than one in, and even then I fully expect it to be Bent on the last day of the window. That'll be it, worst case apart from no one i suppose. It's so hard to look forward to the season when we seem so far behind most teams on the transfer front. Bring in one or preferably 2 good strikers, and I would say there's a lot to look forward to this season. If not though.

Lovely vid, lovely bloke. Some cracking memories there.

Baffling.

17/2 ... get amongst it. Where? Everywhere basically http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/relegation Ahh yes. 9.4 on Betfair. Having just looked at our fixtures I think I'm gonna wait until late September to get my money on just before the Everton game. 13 on Betfair fixed odds. /not that I approve... Aye, fully intend on trading out though. I'm not convinced we'll actually go down, but I am convinced we'll flirt with it. Ah, gotcha.

Can't wait for our latest friendly, Wonga XI v Archbishop of Canterbury XI. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/archbishop-admits-he-hasnt-read-bit-in-bible-about-moneylenders-2013072576913 tbh, stupid religious people. Pahahaha. Fair play Mashers.

Looks class blurry tbf.

Injured then? Just our luck.

If this affects our ability to pick out a pass, I'll be livid.

This will be his breakthrough year. Expecting big things from the lad.

Nah, like Texaco. Papiss is probably saving up for a Teasmade.

I am pissed off with the whole issue but any other club would have sorted this out by now, it dragging on just harms the club. Either find a middle ground or sell him, we aint going to drip Wonga so it will be Cisse who will leave or back down. I'm not sure 'any other club would'. Don't forget the third party involved who are currently "consulting and meeting with experienced people within football used to dealing with equality issues who are also members of the Muslim faith". If the PFA are still doing that as of today, I can imagine any progress will continue to be as slow as hell.

If you think Cisse then should be forced to practice his religion to the full, or none of it at all, then you're playing about with his free choice. No? No idea. I'm playing 'Papiss Cisse outrage thread' Bingo. Just won a tenner!

And there we have it, the human rights card has just been played.

Sillyness?

Is what about Cisse?
