  1. Feyenoord's look so much classier than ours. Simple and smooth.
  2. with more cash coming in from elsewhere it has to change the prices you'd sell at ? Agreeed, I think CL is vital - and it would probably be in our best interests to resist offers and build our squad up. Esp with the windfall of cash that accompanies the CL and progressing to the knockout stages (if we put together a fantastic run).
  3. What is so wild to me is that, I've never bought a player on my shirt for just finance reasons ordering the kit in the US. Used to be simple, if I wanted a kit - I'd get Shearer 9 and call it a day. Now we've got such a plethora of class players i'd have no clue. Funny, I had almost got one in January - My lass was going to get me the new home-kit for my birthday with Colo 2 on the back. But then was worried that I'd be so wishy washy and she'd always ask me who I'd get if I had to chose and I'd never decide "HBA 10? Ba 19? Cisse 9? Tiote 24? Cabaye 4?" We know a couple who owns a footie shop down here so she was going to set it up and get it done - but the man who runs the shop is a total space-head, forgot to get it done, so she never did. This upcoming season I'd like a new kit - but again - no idea who to get...good problem to have?
  4. He's a beast wor Tiote. When he's playing, he's driving us forward and can make opposition attackers shit themselves over having to deal with his ferocious style of play. He's got an inner desire that the top players have in that he gives his all. There are times when he'll turn and play a quick ball to switch play, or sometimes will try some brilliant long balls (and some bad!) but his passing is excellent at times. A player I wish and hope will stay with us forever.
  5. To me it depends on player retention 100%. If we lose a Krul, Tiote, Ba. Then we need replacements in who are starters. So a 1st choice young keeper, a first choice destroyer, and a first choice striker/winger on the left. Who those are, no idea - crazy is now, I trust we will get replacements in thanks to Carr and co. But having prefaced that - if we keep our starting unit together (apart from Simmo) and with a healthy Saylor, Marveaux, Sammy et al and add players in the class of Douglas/Vort and Debuchy/Pieters to our starting 11 then we will be challenging for sure. But again - player retention is key. But the nucleus is there - its all about our spine for me. Krul - Colo - Tiote being the base for our squad. Add in Cabaye, Cisse, Ba, HBA and our attacking play is set. I'm quietly excited to see who we bring in, and absolutely scared at the summer transfer rumors of the out goings.
  6. To add to that, I think seasons ago when he first signed with us he was def. more at home as a winger, and to me, looks like he's lost a bit of his pace and acceleration since then. But in that, I think he's actually become stronger and as the years have gone by, he's adapted his game and playing style to which it is now more suited to the position he is playing in our centre of the park next to Tiote. Brilliant work-rate, close-control, quick short passing and does all the things right on the defensive side. He's 100% needed in our starting lineup for now, and if we are to sign another player to play this role in the off-season, then so be it - but we'd be hard pressed to find someone so versatile, so good at retaining possession, soaking up pressure and winning vital freekicks all over the pitch that really helps us control and dictate matches.

    Gooseflesh that moment was fucking brilliant.
  8. Lush bring down mate, def in the first half. I think it was after our 2nd as well b/c we started to just play the ball around
  9. Brilliant, amazing day and wonderful performance by our lads
  10. Yeah, of course Warren always showing us love. But Wynalda going "Barton or Ben Arfa" literally had me in stitches, no comparison, not even worth mentioning Eric
  11. The only thing I'm happy about is the usage of the Italy style collar and the buttons/covered placket. Other than that, its utter crap (remove the spikes and we are on to something)
  12. http://assets0.ordienetworks.com/images/GifGuide/michael_scott/The-Office-gifs-the-office-14948948-240-196.gif What do we expect? Norwich to swing up and take the title? WE are in the thick of things for the first time in a long time - the whole top end of the table could very well change in these final matches...
  13. Hopefully they crumble to Barca at the Camp Nou - I'd imagine that crowd and the Barca mentality they could easily turn them over at home. They hit the post 2x at Stamford no? IF we get wins vs Stoke and Wigan, I may really fancy our chances of finishing 4th. But hey, bring it on. 1 more sleep.
  14. That is so f***ing sexy. And aye, that's pretty much what I was trying to do the other day without the 'toon army' crap on the sleeves doesn't beat the one based on the udinese strip from a year or two back. (wasit midds design ?) Was nothing to do with me but I post it every year and hope... It was based on a fake Inter shirt from about 4 years ago and us still the best mock-up I've seen although that Botafogo one is sharp as a dart. When used to have photoshop and used it regularly, I made that kit for PES for the Toon. Was mint man.
  15. Gave it a try: http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4421/nufcshirt2012obafemisun.png http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5124/homeshirt11obafemisunda.png Hard to get the collar to look good. God yes, either of them. Just send it to Puma, let them rip you off, we just have to play in these shirts. Beautiful man good work! Away as well is lush too
  16. http://www.soccerpro.com/common/images/740355_01_Puma_Italy_Home_Jersey_2012.jpg This style collar if its humanly possible to photoshop that. Would love if we had that little panel with the buttons hidden or whatever too. That would look class. Sponsor logos these days also are higher up the shirt too I've noticed. Wish I had those silky photoshop skills mate
  17. Yes 100x yes. Yes. Perfect. Fancy trying that Italy style collar on it? Feel like well have that from what we've seen and other kits by puma.
  18. Lush Feyenoord kits, both home and away simple and clean. But did the fucker have to flex the entire time he was doing that?
  19. Nice shirt minus the laces in the collar!

    Alan Pardew

    We'd have 2 class CBs who read the game better than anyone else. Rarely going to ground just simply collecting the ball and playing it forward
  21. If we went far in a cup, I'd make a vacation out of a trip and fly from the US to make a trip up. Somehow time a home match & euro night. That would be fucking mint.

    Hatem Ben Arfa

    There will be a big calling in France for his inclusion given what he can do with his license on the right - there isn't a defender out there capable of containing him and if he can get a shot on goal with that left foot of his, you'd bet money he'll score. Can't believe we have this lad, my word
  23. I voted 5-0, Shearer, Shearer, Given and then Team - Schmeichel, G. Neville, Adams, Ferdinand, Cole, Cronaldo, Scholes, Keane, Giggs, Shearer, Henry I'd personally do a 4-3-3 and have Makelele playing the DCM with Scholes & Gerrard ahead of him with Shearer the middle of the 3 forwards with Henry and Ronaldo wide.
  24. Might have to purchase a France and USA kit now.
