Out of the blue. Regarding the injuries, sound like typical Kieron Dyer injuries, but that didn't stop Dyer lifting us for the 20 games a season he managed. The key is to have backup. We haven Ben Arfa, Jonas, Neil Taylor and Ferguson who can all play left wing as well.

Looks like Martins with a brain from what I've seen.

My money is on PENKAAA

Demba Ba good sheep have you any goals yes sir yes sir three nets full. one versus Arsenal and two at white hart lane and a hat-trick against the mackems who live down the drain

Now just wait for the protestations: You can't copyright fixtures. Noone will do anything. Never heard of anyone getting done for posting the fixtures. What if we use fake names? How much are fixtures? .com have them. Why don't we just buy the fixtures? Put it in a spoiler Oh yorkie what have you done?

8 in 12 I think

Good idea. Also a count up of the 25 squad players would be useful so we know how many to buy before we sell.

Got to make a judgement call. If we think he's going to split the dressing room by turning on the 'replacements' he has to be barred from NUFC and sold to the highest bidder, or if necessary stick him on gardening leave for the season. If we think he'll get his head down, keep his mouth shut, work well with the new players and for the good of the team, stick with him.

In short, we are relying on Pardew and Carver being able to replace Nolan in the dressing room. Or alternatively signing an inspirational British player.

Will be a step down. I think Nolan despite his flaws was very inspirational, worked well with all of his team mates, coached the young ones, and was good on the mentality side. People will look up to Colo and be inspired by him when things are going well, but there is no-one I really trust for if things are going badly.

This is fucking dreadful news.

Interesting reasding, he's a much better attacking LB than some of the best in the business, wile the number of players to dribble past him is over 50% less than the others. There are a few areas he is worse at though like keeping possession (although this is affected by playing for us) and heading.

And you know exactly what Dowie's contribution was how?

Fucking hell didn't see that coming (if it is true)

Even so, do we really want another Gangsta?

Having told a player who likes posing for photos with handguns to find a new club, do we really want to sign a player who likes posing for photos with handguns?

Don't know anything about the player, but that photo equals don't want him.

Everytime the Lille Chairman's phone rings, he must grasp the armrest of his chair and fear that it is us on the phone again.

People need to accept that whoever we sign Nolan will start every game when fit next season if he's still here, and he will deserve his place for being a good player and a good leader.

Dude I think you better post an immediate apology thread otherwise I suspect one of the Admin will consider banning you when they wake up, and the usual term is life for racism.

And we would have been if wasn't for the Tiote signing. Even then people were worried about Tiote only being back-up to Smith.

I definitely remember people getting worried that we'd be relegated with the likes of Nolan in midfield.

Sorry, I thought we were taking the piss out of ITKs? The mention of a fax machine, Klose wanting to fax Pratley, and room with Alan Smith should have made it obvious!?

Would be funny if we first activated Cabaye's release clause. Then Gervinho's. Then just as Lille think they are safe, we find Hazard's too.

My friend's sister in law has a cousin who operates the NUFC fax machine and she faxed a list of names and fax numbers to all the other fax numbers so they could all fax each other to confirm that they are joining. The list was Miroslav Klose, Gameiro, N'Zogbia, Gervinho, Cabaye, Samba, Neil Taylor, and Darren Pratley. Klose was particularly keen on faxing Taylor and Pratley and has requested he rooms with James Perch, or Alan Smith when Perch is injured.
