Shut up Luke.

Ah f*** off Luke.

Indeed What I was meant to say is that he's probably off in this window then. (Was still holding out hope that he would still be offered a new one come the end of this coming season).

Most likely he's going to be told that he's not going to be offered a new contract. Would be a shame but he only has himself to blame really.

Don't know why he was made captain today.

I had England in mind when I wrote that last sentence. What is a privilege doesn't seem so anymore in this country imho.

Unfortunately true. Though what I'm trying to say is that we need a manager who can motivate and give his point across to players effectively. I'm still not sure how the players actually understand what's going on half the time. It is a sad state of affairs though that the international stage has come up to this point, ie. it's not about the passion and pride anymore.

He's out straight after the current campaign. He was just over in Rio on a jolly I'd assume. Good. To be replaced by somebody else who produces allmost identical results. Like somebody said about Bob Bradley the other day "He got the sack because it's impossible to sack a generation of average players" or something of equal measure. It's the same with England only slightly higher up the ladder. Indeed, this generation of players have massively underachieved. The future generation doesn't look that great tbh (bar Sturridge and maybe Carroll) But I'm still hoping for an England manager who can actually speak English for starters.

A massive positive from today was Vuckic's performance.

Joey's tweets - admittedly I do like some of them when they're not related to NUFC's internal matters, but it does come to a point when you can't keep tweeting the stuff he's been saying. The club should introduce some sort of "Twitter usage guidelines" or simply ban it imo.

Just going to bring up an earlier point, he had 2 years left on his contract. Shouldn't have even looked at renewing at this stage anyway! But really, I'm not surprised by Nolan's comments.

Exactly this, one more player isn't enough! Utter stupidity.

So another "relatively easy" group for England. Hopefully, Capello will be nowhere near the England setup by the time the qualifiers start.

I reckon this too actually.....

Henderson to step it up then, oh wait.......

He has a bright future ahead of him.

Ah f*** sake

I honestly reckon he has a bright future ahead of him.............(as long as he doesn't learn from Shola).

Just got in (had a weekend long trip in Leeds) and the result is a fair one tbh. Defensively, we were poor. The goal aside, Saylor had a stinker tbh; Tavernier looked shaky (to be expected with this lack of experience really); Williamson and Simpson were meh. We're screwed if Jose does go and if Ferguson is out of action for the considerable future. We missed Coloccini today massively. In midfield, Cabaye was our best player. Some good tracking back and precise passing which was good to see. Vuckic was brilliant when he came on - was always looking for the ball, took his goal well and almost got an assist for Barton/Best. Barton, Jonas should have done better. Gosling was quiet as well. Up front, Ba was bright and did well to get the ball into the position where we scored our second goal from. Best played decent enough when he came on I thought. Sammy - good pace and does have a good left foot (when he shoots anyway, couldn't cross today!), just needs a lot more experience. And last but not least Shola - played like his usual self. Though now I'm honestly quite worried about our current situation. There were big flaws in all of areas of the pitch for us today and I really hope next week's game goes well though I'm not massively confident about that. We need a left back and a striker! (Or put Vuckic in the hole behind Ba). What I've said has probably already been said but thought I'd offer my honest thoughts about today too.

Thought we had cooled our interest in Barnetta? Looks like he's the contingency plan to N'Zogbia?
