Never liked him anyway that Nasri

Nasri said remain polite?

So basically we could use a defender with a bit of pace......like we've been saying all along

Beren's 4-4-2 would be my favorite to be honest. I actually think Nasri's arrogance coupled with Ribery's no-end product is their major problem. Benzema, Ribery and Nasri have minds of their own and 0 ability to work together its disgusting. The one friendly I did see was Benzema and HBA on a different level of understanding, it looked brilliant. Cabaye is the the first name on the teamsheet for me, no mistake the 1 game he sits they lose. So much talent yet 0 tactical togetherness in that setup, its shocking.

Dawning upon me that whoever said Giroud should be starting up top was 100% right. France need a true striker to play up top with a target. Benzema is miles from the box at times its crazy. ------Diarra/M'Vila------ Nasri - Cabaye - Ribery -------Benzema------- --------Giroud-------- As much as I would love Ben Arfa to start he's just not working that system. I think Blanc was on to something in one of hte friendlies having Ben Arfa from the start, but he looks rusty again...strange

Precisely. Cisse was a start, De Jong would confirm that Ashley is ready to return to his original blueprint - or whatever you want to call it. This summer's make or break because if we don't maintain the quality of the squad, we'll slip away again and last season will have been a flash in the pan. We need to build; that doesn't change just because we've already got a couple of excellent strikers on our books. There's also the small matter of a very winnable European tournament. I hope this is true!

Pards man, what a smooth operator.

Feyenoord had no spikes, and both home and away had the collar. Shame we didn't get that lucky! But really now anxious to see how it looks on.

Cost savings Semtex mate, 1 designer does both.

It's better on the model and will be fine. Brilliant cut nd collar that shirt. Wish way and 3rd had that collar too. But good stuff. I'll buy it as the 1st puma kit needs replacing.

Pards eyes' closed

Lush home kit that, thinking about that squad that wore that - my word!

The best commentator we had for Euros over here was Mike Hill for espn2 for Euro 96. He was class.

Same here. Quietly optimistic about this one.

Just fucking wait and see how it pans out when the tourney is over. We have been let down and surprised with transfers, anything could happen - On the bright side - we have HBA and Cabaye with him in the French squad and on the flip-side perhaps a CL club will come in. Who knows, will have to wait and see.

He looks like a player, damn it!

That England team man, my word. That anthem sends chills down my spine and I'm American. My British passport carrying father and uncles love that video to death though. We all caught those matched on espn 2 over here and I've been cheering on England b/c of them, Shearer etc. ever since. Cmon England!

Wish Rooney was playing but this is the best it could get with the squad. I do like hte flexibility of having Young and Ox move to a wing and Milner inside and Gerrard pushing up if need be.

In JJ I thought we had signed a future England star the way he seemed so calm, cool and collected. He had a brilliant engine on him too.

who's the bird in his twitter profile pic?

You wonder if someone approached him and this was Dekka and Mike's way of saying to everyone, simply....fuck off. Truly helps Carr is a toon supporter and an old timer who wants nothing more than to help his club dominate scouting and recruitment of football in our own way, icing on cake is that he gets paid to do it

I still would love to know the design/approval process of these kits - esp within our club. You see all these other brands coming out with lush classic style kits that obviously gets every single person excited about, as the style of kits that are overly modern have sort of faltered and become less and less popular - yet still somehow, someway - we get some strange spikey number.

Funny about Modric is that we would have flogged him vs. Spurs keeping him. Interesting bit about the installments based on performance, surely that sounds like an awful deal for the seller given if something happened to the player (injury) or performance wise the fee would be lower where we were looking to pay some 20M right? (rumors)

Madness bringing Shola into this at all. Stupid statement considering what Shola brings to the club in professionalism, pride, love for his hometown club and Mackem destruction. Will be sad to see Gufrie go, fancy him when hes had a decent run of games there are times he plays some sublime football. But he's young and wants to further his career elsewhere, that is fine with me. Will wish best of luck to him whenever and wherever he plays unless it is against us.

Stadium is SJP get in
