Is it one of those things that's only available to Sky customers or will it be free on all platforms?

Win 5-0. Williamson with all 5 goals. Seriously though, this should be a decent warmup, will all our players be back for this?

Any updates on this? Saw this while I was on my lunch break at work yesterday but then my phone battery died on me. Needless to say, I got excited when I saw the thread title!

I've been convinced for a while that he's staying. Can see no reason why he would leave, footballing reasons-wise.

Ah, so it is the spikes on the stripes kit. Meh. Really looks terrible imho but this kit could end up being well liked - it all depends on how we do next season I guess.

Sooo, how did we play?

Very unlikely.

Ah, just remembered I'm going to miss this. Going on a post-work drinks session tomorrow. Will look to this thread for updates!

But a step up from Simpson in that Clyne actually likes having the ball and running with it.

Nowt wrong with what Pardew's said there like. A minimum of 8th would be okay but I do actually want us to challenge for the top 6/7 - I certainly hope we're amongst it for most of the season.

Unfortunately. But on the plus side, N-O could take it over like last year Oh and to quote a former poster, "one more sleep"

For some reason, I can see Park Ji Sung getting it...(purely for commercial reasons).

So Pardew says we'll have to wait two weeks before we'll see another a new signing? Blatantly going to sign someone completely out of the blue tomorrow like.

Tbh, anything but SD will do...

s*** just got real. Btw, there's nee chance Cabaye's going to Barça, they have enough CMs.

Soon.

Really like the look of that

Looks like Lee's up past his bedtime.

What I was trying to get at is that Rodgers prefers a certain style and I don't think Carroll fits in it.

He's a prick.

Btw, it's clear that Carroll doesn't fit into Rodgers' footballing philosophy. The lad is useful as muscle in the air but that's simply not how Rodgers' style. The Carroll of old (those 6 months towards the end of 2010) might have been useful in a pass and play system - I'll even go as far as saying that he might have even thrived under it but the Carroll of today seems to be better suited to the long ball and the game of strength.

Well, well quelle surprise. Nolan and Carroll reunited.

Fuck that.

I've always liked Harper. He was, more often than not, a reliable understudy to Given. He always seemed to do a solid job whenever called upon. Thought he was brilliant for us in the Championship as our number 1 - "safe hands" if you will. But unfortunately, with age, comes a decline in ability and that looks to have come Harper's way. But I do think that he still has the capabilities to be a decent backup for Krul (for one more season, at least). It'll be a shame if he does leave, always thought he would retire here. If he does move on, then I wish him all the best. The man has my respect.

Fuck's sake the thread title scared the living shit out of me!
