My beard's getting itchy. In desperate need of a win here, don't really mind how we do it, as long as we do it.

Pourquoi pas?

Alors Alan...over to you. The new signings will be a much needed boost for us and certainly for Pardew. But now it's time for him to show us what he's really made of...will he be up for the task? We shall see...like Cajun said last night, it's almost as if he's been given a clean slate. No more excuses now.

Well this has turned out to have been a very good month Whilst Colo's long term future is still uncertain and unresolved, I'm confident that he'll keep it professional on the pitch between now and the end of the season - we'll need him to anyway, he is our captain after all.

Fantastic news Well done to all involved in our of all signings. Credit when it's due, never would I have expected 4 signings in a week.

As if Ratboy's opinion counts for anything

Ferguson's Nufc career is over man. Not necessarily. Well I'm holding out hope that he has a future here anyway...

This should be on every page like.

The one I had in the summer of 2011 has just made its return.

Sissoko's basically said in that video that the PL is a league which is most suited to his ability. He also said that we're a club that would get the best out of him. So aye, by the sounds of things, he's pretty much confirmed that he's coming here. Fantastic

The Bordeaux fans reckon they're doomed...

Has someone spiked Ashley's drink? We're going in for another player?! Squad depth is well and truly top of the agenda and I'm all for it. Bring him in!

Welcome aboard Massadio Nice to know that our squad depth is ever increasing. If this also allows Fergie to get some much needed first team experience on loan in the Championship then it's a win-win situation. Best of luck to this new lad though.

Might as well just take the French national team's kit and slap our logo on it. It's one of the nicest kits anyway. J'aime ça

I'm not bothered at all about the influx of French players. We've clearly been scouting them for some time and so must have some quality in them. As long as they produce the goods on the pitch, I'm a happy man. Vive la France!

Well I was fooled when I first read this thread earlier in the afternoon. I spread this "news" around the office and they were equally as bemused as I was, almost a sign of mass hysteria!

If there is indeed a press conference tomorrow then that will reveal all. As always I shall look to this thread for updates. Worried is the description I'm looking for at the moment.

Canny.

Sorry Skirge, going a bit off topic there but what are you trying to say in your sig? I can't make grammatical sense of it Well used google translate so god knows if its right "sign everyone" signer tous les français! This would do nicely too actually

Sorry Skirge, going a bit off topic there but what are you trying to say in your sig? I can't make grammatical sense of it Well used google translate so god knows if its right "sign everyone" Ah, I'd change it to "Signer tous les joueurs" (sign all the players)

That ballboy's Twitter The youth of today man.

Canny news, bienvenue Yoan

My Arsenal supporting mate being one of them - he pretty much wrote him off after a few games.

I suggested to my manager (Preston fan) today that Preston should take Sammy on loan. He rejected my suggestion straightaway Sammy isn't rated in my office.
