Picked up a calf strain or something of that nature in that open training apparently. Oh right.

Unless Pardew is persisting with his goalkeeper rotation thing or unless Elliot is knacked, then I don't see why Soderberg would be on the bench.

Just seen this. FFS man

or lulling Stoke into a false sense of security then boom The ultimate fright for Halloween.

Oh wows. EDIT: The Five Live commentator covering the Spurs-QPR game also said the same thing.

Bit harsh Colo's beautiful in my eyes

£22m (ish) and £9m of that was Coloccini. Only 4 of the XI cost more than £1m. That's crazy.

Classy.

What a day that was.

Are they? Never heard this like, window lickers if so. Was a random rumour from ages ago. My Sheffield United supporting mate, who mentioned it to me, thinks it would actually be a good appointment.

For me, the defence (including Krul); our team spirit (leading to our never-say-die attitude); adopting a new style of play (the passing it along the deck rather than playing long balls) have been the key factors to our brilliant start/run so far. And the lack of injuries/suspensions to our key players as pointed out above have been a plus too.

Indeed.

A doubt. He has tonsillitis but in an interview to Talksport, he says he's feeling better and feels he can play tomorrow.

Team spirit is shot

Our local press seem to be sure. Of course, nothing has been confirmed yet so things could still change.

As far as I'm aware, he's still doubtful. Tiote has said he can play but whether Pardew/physios think so is another matter.

Aye!

What a fucking cunt. Disgusting behaviour.

Ah well, appearance points then
