The College Dropout

Yes. It's a payday loan shop, pawn shop and also western union money transfer place. Dunno why he didn't just transfer money from his bank though. The bit about not seeing many footballers like him on the West Road is laughable as well seeing as he is supposedly a devout muslim and therefore he likely goes to prayers at one of the mosques up the west road anyway. Good luck finding a bank or ATM in 70% of Senegal.

he's not great technically but he makes things happen pretty much every game.

Some of you should be ashamed.

Eh? He's shown himself to have a decent first touch and the ability to strike a ball. That's technical ability. He doesn't look very comfortable carrying the ball however..

Honestly, Everton last season played very good football. Better than some of the stuff i've seen Everton play this year. The intensity was very high. At Man Utd. he's in no mans land. He's trying to respect SAF's style and keep elements of that along with his own style. Everton played much better than the dross Man Utd have served up this season.

I've had a look at some of the last fixtures the teams really down there have. Palace have a tough set. WBA & Sunderland have many winnable games. It's going to be exciting. Cardiff & Fulham face a lot of teams around them but they are going to need close to 15-20 points out of 30 odd to stay up

Tbh RVP was slightly better in that last Arsenal season than last year. 18 months of regression Marra.

He's just not a fit for this team, man. It's simple. Give him a more robust team, like the first Chelsea side under Mourinho, and he'd be looking a lot better. Mourinho goes to Chelsea takes one look at Mata and is like, nah. He knows what works for him. Moyes is still pandering to the previous style, and it's not him. Either he does it his way, or he's toast. Yep.

I was being sarcy mate. Your entitled to your opinion but you are wrong. He was brilliant in the season we finished 5th. That's the best season for the majority of our players.

Okay he regressed but we conceded less goals and kept 15(!!!) clean sheets. At least 2 of the games he missed we conceded plenty of goals. So I'll make that 15 clean sheets in his 35 appearances.

He was crap for most of last season but lets not re-write history. People do the same with Tiote.

2-3 years? It's only 2 yars ago he was in team of the season for the PL is it not?

somewhere in that England thread, very early. People rated him highly. It's hilarious stuff.

Think it's 2-0 Brendan. Extra point for all the goals.

Hughton always seems to get a win when they most desperately need it. There's a good chance he'll be sacked at the end of the season by they won't go down. Norwich will win when they really need too.

Ashley knows we need to sign a proper goal scorer. Without one, we are likely to be involved in a relegation fight where he'll have to sack Pardew and sign a new striker anyway. To be certain of avoiding relegation we'll need a Loic Remy type signing.

You've kinda said he has some footballing ability while also saying he possibly doesn't have much football ability. LOOL. TBF he strikes a ball as good as anyone that plays for NUFC currently

He missed that 11 in 13 games right? And was present for our 2 decent runs of form.

It's not that uncommon though. Baines does it for Everton.

He's actually a decent threat in the box himself. If the second option is Gouff then we need help

Why is he taking the set-pieces?

I would be very impressed if you won at S'hampton. Normally the type of game you lose in a bad season and draw in a good one.

You face both City and Chelsea at home right? If you beat them, you'll deserve to win it. You won't though. Win it that is.

Unless we properly invest we'll be knee deep in the doo-doo no doubt.

Think Arsenal only managed 11 or so points in that period.
