Considering we were utter gash upfront this season gone, and our likely strikeforce didn't score 20 between them, theres an awful lot of confidence on here that they are going to banging them in left, right and centre next season. Hope you're right. Fingers crossed we sign a proven goalscorer.

Nicest shirt we have had in fucking years!

That's absolute garbage he single handedly repelled teams at times with that indisciplined mob in front of him. In fact one game at Spurs it was Krul versus them with at least 5 fantastic saves and several more good ones. He is a world class keeper while Elliot is not. Yep, that spuds game is probably his last decent one for us. He has let in some absolute Grobelaar howlers since then. 'World Class' you are having a laugh!

Krul has been shite for at least 3 seasons, if we get anywhere near £8m for him i'll be delighted. Darlow and Elliot will do us fine for now.

Do you honestly think that will happen? I very much doubt it. Tickets will be cheaper for individual games, and no games will sell out.

Manure wanker fans just fucking expect to win, cunts.

yep!

Great sub from Pards

Get in!!! What a fuckin goal

Love the way he hasn't even been confirmed yet, or indeed actually got us out of the championship (wont be easy) but we are already discussing him winning a cup and outdoing KK and Bobby

Good to see the FA have once again given the ref strict instructions to get Manure to win. Fucking typical.

£50 on us winning the league 5/1

I'd guess that's why there is a delay in announcing it - a new contract will be written up.

Will be the biggest piece of good news at NUFC since we got KK back in 2007/08. First time in fucking years I feel passionate about the club. HOWAY THE LADS

You think Townsend was only a 6?

Marks out of 10 for their contributions this past season? Krul 5 Elliot 7 Darlow 7 Janmaat 6 Anita 6 Colo 4 Mbemba 7 Lascelles 8 Taylor 4 Dummett 6 Haidara 4 Townsend 9 Colback 5 Tiote 6 Sissoko 5 Wijnaldum 7 Saivet 3 Aarons 6 Shelvey 6 Gouffran 4 Thauvin 3 Mitrovic 6 Cisse 5 Perez 5 De Jong 4 Riviere 2 Doumbia 0

Genuinelly dont see how the mackems can advance to anything beyond 12th place under Fat sam. And they'll be having street parties if they do manage to get to the dizzy heights of 12th! scums PL finishes: 18, 7, 7, 17, 20, 20, 15, 16, 13, 10, 13, 17, 14, 16, 17.

Remember last time we were in the Championship and BBC had rights to some Sat evening matches, and picked us a good few. I would imagine we'll see a fair bit of TV time again next season.

Just looking at our squad from our last championship season, and how people are often saying "aye, but we had the likes of Nolan and Barton then" - Barton had 8 starts for us.

Totally forgot Marlon Harewood played for us. So random. He was class too Class?! Khizanishvili and Fitz Hall were class.

Hope will play them at Villa Park on the opening day and dick them 5-0.

Yeah would agree that there may be 3 or 4 surprises that stay.

Still telling myself he wont stay.

Only likely sale I'd really like to see us keep is Townsend. Pretty much all of the other big earners could go for all I care. Pretty certain Krul, Janmaat, Colo, Tiote, Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Cisse will go I would reckon, possibly get £30m for that lot, and the rest of the squad should be good enough to get us up. Striker who can score would be a nice addition, might be a lot of pressure on Arma.
