I agree with Neil. Some of these comments are absurd. We have had far worse summers than this. We have gotten rid of Nolan who was useless except when scoring. We've gotten rid of Routledge who was on loan anyways. We've signed Cabaye, Marveaux and Ba. Barton hasn't left yet and neither has Enrique. If those two leaves and we sign no cover then sure its not been a good one. But I think we're in a better position than last year no doubt. Time will tell though

It's because they're all 25-28 while the rest are 19 Baba Nah, you've guys have actually looked good thus far. Spain wasnt very impressive but still got a win and same goes for Brazil. The Saudis seem to be a good team, haven't seen them play but 2-0 on Croatia and then 6-0 on Guatemala is pretty decent.

Lovely.

Pele Would probably rape Messi still today

dunno like, didn't they get 6-8m for dyer? still buys them a few more years for me True, there we go. Basically those 6-8m for Dyer means we're selling Jose for 11-13. Decent business per usual. Go Team Ashley!

Perch no doubt. Didn't play much last season and been injured during pre-seasons so he'll be like a new signing 0o

That £5million surely isn't a correct fee. It just cannot be. I'll be stunned, and I'll go from neutral to anti-Ashley if we sell Jose for that kind of peanut money. Fucking hell.

Is this communist Russia circa 1930 or what? Collective punishment, nice.

That's nowt man. You're forgetting about the cost of your phone, your contract, the electricity you need to charge your phone... Nah, that's daddy's job.

Not all the fans, true. But there were many, many fans who were shouting and chanting Joey's name from the stand at the end of last season and this year in pre season. Yes, but its not like Joey has been quiet and got on with his stuff. No he's asked for this, why would he then deserve a protest? Ridonculous

It would show what you think. Not what ALL the fans think. The last thing we need is to make a huge deal out of this during the match against Arsenal. Let it fucking be for once. Will only disrupt the rest of the team.

kingkerouac needs a #helmet he's under attack. #helmet

That you're a terrible little poster, who the last 24 hours has only posted unreadable stuff, then YES. Give it a rest and come back to the real world. #helmet

this last page f***ing hell #helmet edit: THAT last page

Now you only need the U-20 WC. Which to be fair, some african team will probably win. Brazil would've danced through the competition had we had Neymar and Lucas there. But the 27 year old Nigerian men will probably win it.

Best: Europe, sky is the limit Worst: HBA, Cabaye, Ba, Marveaux and Gosling fails and we fight for survival.

Stephon Starbury

Pay you £60k a week? Really JH? Really.

neesy hilarious

The difference is he's getting £60-70k and shouldn't be complaining. He should get on with his fucking job. If he thinks the club aint investing, then go out there and play your socks off, go prove to everyone that you can help win games on your own. Instead of hoping for the club to buy Messi and shit. Fucking hell.

The guy is just looking to cause as much drama as possible. Ultimately he knows it won't cost him anything. Pathetic guy. Heh, yeah. Maybe he should have considered what his actions could do to the honor of the club before spilling his over emotional ramblings. Guy was willing to take a pay cut to stay, what other top quality players in their prime would do that? Plenty of clubs would be willing to offer him a deal after last season. His pay cut was probably something that would still be higher than whatever he would earn somewhere else. Didnt he tweet something about not even getting one penny more or so?

This shit about leaders, about having balls football is about talent, its about being able to win matches. I'd rather have 11 Messi's than 11 Nolan's. I think we as a club aren't on the up or down, we'll be here for the next years in the middle of the table. Hefty investment is needed to make us a top team again, but if we want to go down again we'll have to make loads of changes. Krul, Harper, Simpson, Saylor, Willy, Colo, Enrique, Tiote, Gosling, Cabaye, Marveaux, HBA, Jonas, Ba, and possibly Best and half Ameobi is more than enough to keep us up. The season we went down, people will say we had talented players, but that's different, we had Owen who was on his decline, Butt, Smith and so on. Martins has never been talented and was also around 35 . I think its a mistake by letting Joey go, but not because I consider him being a leader, as an ex-convict surely can't be an example but because he's a talented footballer. However, he should've just got on with it and kept his mouth shut. We'll stay up, finish around 12-13th. Ashley will keep on doing his making money until he can sell the club.
