Beren

He looked terrible early in the season, I think I even had him in my "worst players to continue starting in the Prem" team because he was missing sitter after sitter. His nerves subsided, or he may have hit rock bottom and bounced, who knows - he did improve a lot and looked a dangerous player subsequently. Got a way to go and still think you need another striker, but I think you have a decent player there - maybe the next Darren Bent

"Sick of hearing about this Fünke guy..."

Woah! That seal is awesome.

I'll feel better when Spurs get a striker tbh. Otherwise I won't feel confident we're going to get anyone as whenever we're linked to someone, they'll soon be linked with Spurs.

What's that fucking mean? It's Pardew for "it doesn't really matter to me that we conceded a three goal lead".

Lennon being the other really blatant example.

I was admittedly watching 4 games at once today, but Simpson's defending recently has become very concerning after looking distinctly solid after displacing Perch in the side.

No Sammy

Yup, got four screens set up too Next weekend will be terrible, like.

Bassedas.

Just saw this. They could give Brucie's Boys a good game, I reckon. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/women/table/default.stm

Unless we get crazy money (circa £15m+) early in the window, I'd make him honour his contract personally. Also, I wouldn't sell him to a Premiership rival (again, unless crazy money enters the equation early in the window).

Could see Liverpool going in for him if they can't get Downing/Young. Can you imagine what a detestable bunch they will be if they have Suarez, Kuyt and Young? All they'd need was Busquets and they'd be sniper'd for real by discontented opposition.

I was lol'ing on the inside, mate.

He worked hard and created a good atmosphere in the shop, but didn't sell much.

Caustic appraisal of old Nile Ranger, but difficult to disagree. He hasn't had a fantastic run in the side or anything, but his better cameos were certainly earlier in the season where he looked to have more brio about him. He has it all to prove.

You know that predictions thread from ages ago, where you're supposed to predict the Starting XI for NUFC in their last game of the season... I'd be very impressed if anyone had 7+ players correct! Also, suspicious.

Not this again

Now Gutierrez is injured, I'm going to transfer him for Sammy and Fernando for Shola.

Particularly annoying as WBA were contemplating blooding a young RB IIRC. Jose/Jonas would have had a fair bit of joy down the left I'd have wagered.

Interested to hear the WBA fans' thoughts going into this game. They must be very proud of their season too, but perhaps worried about hanging on to Odemwingie?

The worst thing is the rags in bullshit-overdrive with no games to discuss.
