That looks class man

Deputy Dawg: "I'm not your mate"

The difference between a player like Cabaye committing long term future for us is basically some outward ambition. FFS just having a go at the cup + opening up the transfer kitty a bit more + the manager/owner in the press saying "WE WANT to challenge for the top because we are top club..." And people's heads turn, and they begin to believe. its a very basic and simple principle. Our massive support, our massive stadium, our ability to unearth and sway these "contract" player issues to collect an excellent crop of undervalued talent (when purchased) and a player like Yohan Cabaye who is a consummate professional, one of the main men of his national side, and he'll be here for another 4-5 years. Its a joke man, all of the potential in the world to be a top side but the owner is a fucking tight prick. Makes me sick.

Anita - Willo - MYM - Santon or MYM - Willo - Taylor - Santon I don't like either but I think the 2nd is more defensively sound. On paper I prefer no.1 though.

He's one of our best players currently. One of the first names on the teamsheet.

Needs to be back in town drinking NE water getting drunk at NE bars and being taken care of by his folks again from time to time.

I would take Hughton over Pardew any day of the week based on the fact he wasn't Alan Pardew.

Casa st James or something like that I think its Casa St James

Naw the templates fit like the ones have been under Puma each time.

Casa St James' or something, right?

Disgraceful that a football man like Keegan with his passion, vision, and love for the sport (and our club) can be virtually driven away from the game by egotistical mad men who own the clubs, like Mike Ashley (Tan, etc). Disgusting really.

Only saw from what WPCP posted Ah okay - my bad.... Well, hopefully we'll get a leak of the 3rd or discussion of it soon. I assume our home kit will be the Italy home kit with b/w stripes based on years past + Newcastle, Dortmund etc. getting the "premier" templates from Puma. I assume our away kit to be the secondary template as well.

Didnt see that in the minutes...nor did a simple Ctrl + F locate it either...

Must have been that brilliant attempt to get his son to quit his current club after signing a big contract and expecting he'd be let go by the cheap bastard that is Mike Ashley. On a side note, San Lorenzo's chanting is brilliant so I have no issues with them - that catchy tune gets me every time.

Would rather get De Jong and Cabella in not bother with Gomis and find some winger who isn't s***. Both are not happening mind. de Jong, Cabella, and Ba. Wank silly. 0% chance of happening.

Take de Jong over Gomis any day of the week.

Miss this lad barn storming for us. His career post being sold to Liverpool has been fucking shit.

I sometimes sit here and think about how I've supported this club for the better on of 15+ years and experienced f*** all of success. Then I think about all of the local lads here and those who have family from the area and they've gone entire lifetimes without success. So how can anyone be chastised for being sick of mediocrity or no ambition? Life's too f***ing short to be messing about with the likes of Alan Pardew. Is his football exciting? No. Does he have us in a position to win trophies? No. Are we building up to win a trophy in the future? No. End of story here. If our manager was Roberto Martinez you could answer yes to all 3, even if we were in the same position in the league.

Montpellier really suffering from talent getting poached + Rene Girard getting the boot from Nicolin (the mad fucking man he is). I'm sure Mapou has a big endorsement of Pardew

I was alluding to this EXACT same thing in another post or even in this very thread.

I prefer them slagging off the club any chance they get - and esp when its not taking a dig at the players and more so at the club's boardroom + manager. Long may it continue.

Yup - and Gouffran has the work-rate to cover for Santon who'll be pushing up. Hatem MAY not, so in that case -- Alan fucking Pardew needs to charge Sissoko with that duty - cover for Debuchy/Hatem and get forward when you can.

If Cabella + De Jong both arrive, I'd like to see a scenario where LDJ is playing up top, Remy + Gouffran out wide, Cabella in the #10 role, Cabaye and Sissoko playing CMs. If Cabaye goes, then insert one of Tiote or Anita. Ideal scenario is Hatem playing wide right (harsh on Gouffran), with Cabaye and Sissoko playing the CM role(s)

I'd say he's more of a Hatem/Marveaux alternative than Remy tbh. The reason I have said before that I wouldn't be surprised if he replaced Cabaye, is because we have tried to force Cabaye in an advanced role and Cabella actually naturally plays there. In a scenario where Ben Arfa continues to sit on the bench... --------Remy-------- Gouffran----Sissoko ------Cabella-------- -Cabaye--Tiote/Anita

My old man says similar as well. RIP to a legend.
