I can see Bungle being back to his best this season, after a supposedly solid start last year.

Bit of a Tomasson situation, Ranger had several excellent opportunities to break his PL duck last season, and fluffed them all.

Yeah, lets see how many games he manages this season first...

its what we would expect though.

give away at that price!

Would like to see us re-sign Andreas Andersson if possible too.

It will be another nail in the coffin of NUFC if that plank gets ANOTHER new fucking contract. He's been shite since about 5 games into his pro career, and we keep giving him money and spouting the "this is the season for Shola" shite. 11 seasons 236 appearances (av of 22 per season due to his injury record) 48 goals (av of 4.37 per season due to him being shit)

Should change the poll to "how many games will Ben Arfa play this season?" - less than 20 i reckon.

Arsenal are gonna fucking spunk all ower us, then we gan to SOS...

Hope our line up is better than this for the start of the Prem, or we are in trouble.

No doubt he'll quickly get his chance when our injuries start building up 3 or 4 games in.

Got £5 on us to go down (5/1) and Carroll to be PL top scorer (18/1) Hoping those bets will mean my losing streak continues.

Ashley has done his worst again this summer! best players out, spending no money for transfers in. Lining his pockets, and knowing there will still be 45k+ average crowd next season.

Why would Larsson and Gardner ensure that when they were part of a Birmingham side that went on a similarly dismal run? I'd love for somebody on here to put together a genuine explanation as to why Larsson and Gardner are well rated on this board. I particularly went out of my way to watch more of Larsson in the backend of last season and I simply don't understand why he is highly rated. One paced, not the best technically and his set-piece crossing ability is so overstated it is untrue. Gardner on the other hand is even more confusing to me. What the hell do people see in him? He's not got great technique, not got any real vision or passing range. His apparent quality is that he has a good goalscoring record, but before last season it was nothing special. He scores goals because he picks up the ball and shoots as often as possible without much thought or intelligence. This going to come across like even more anti-Sunderland bias but it really isn't. I was hostile in another thread towards re-signing Ireland, yet I'd much, much, MUCH rather sign Stephen Ireland than either of these players. That's how little I rate them. I think the majority of us have seen Gardner smash in a few goals on MOTD and assumed he's a decent player. I know I have. Suppose same can be said of Ryan Taylor

Fucking huge risk that signing, hope it backfires.

Fat Cashley will accept any offer he fancies.

Sholas arena @sj james park

If Shola leaves the team, it will only be to takeover the club.

I wonder if he will represent Nigeria somewhere in there too

Yep, i often think Shola must be one of the luckiest lads in football. Been fucking shite for years, yet has been a NUFC player for 12 seasons now, earning decent coin and doing fuck all. No doubt he will accept a 2 or 3 year extension.

Haha especially considering the season before we were in a fucking lower league than them! Class mackems.

nice, but red n white.

He'll need the extra money judging by his nightclub bill he posted on twitter http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg738/scaled.php?tn=0&server=738&filename=d7eph.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640 What a big headed tosser posting that online. Cunt.

Fat Cashley won't be happy!

Agree with him to be honest. We do need to hit the ground running next season, a few bad results and i can see it being a fucking long season.
