I'm going to ask a very simple question, who scored for us?

This is not the last we'll hear about this. We're signing him [/newfoundoptimism]

So, for anyone who went today, are we looking in good shape fitness-wise?

The fee is very reasonable. We'll get him, nee bother.

Which is a very good idea. Something sensible from the club for once... Hope we can get this over the line soon but somehow I think QPR will tell us to fuck off.

He needs to be put down, just simply needs to be locked away from society.

A signing

That photo from Andymc1 was definitely a game changer like. Don't think it would have been resolved within 2 days without that being all over the press... I still don't see how that is relevant to any of this. It's not like he has ever claimed to be the perfect muslim who follows quaran to the word. He just has a faith/moral problem with Wonga. How does the fact he's pictured in the papers gambling change any of that? Only thing it changed are the opinions of some simpleton fans who never understood the real problem to begin with. More likely it's down to Pardew being back from Portugal and having a chat with him. The timing is too coincidental for me...

We should have a pool on which team he'll have his yearly blinder against (not the mackems), I'll say Chelsea at St. James'.

It's 2013 and Foluwashola Ameobi will, more than likely, be starting at least one PL game for us in this coming season.

This is positive news, let's hope they (the club and Cisse) can put this properly behind them now. We need to fucking crack on with (what has been so far) an indifferent pre-season.

The more I watch that, the funnier it gets What the f*** was he thinking man

Cup Final day already?

Looks like I missed a cracker of a game like...

Bouncebackability from us tbh.

Actions speaks louder than words - it's all well and good that he's acknowledging some mistakes but if he doesn't do anything substantial about them (ie. learning from them), then it's all moot. His track record of learning from his mistakes is rather poor so I can't say I'm confident he's going to implement any sort of effective change.

Morale boosting news. Crap on top of crap on top of crap.

Darren Bent, a player whose general all round play is questionable and who is more famed for scoring goals rather than creating them for others, is potentially going to be signed to play in the number 10 role? What sorcery is this? Pardew been sniffing paint again? Should have kept Harper on and play him as a striker then.

Whilst L'Equipe is France's top sports newspaper, it does print a lot of bullshit these days. It's basically like when Sky Sports News' "sources" understand something is happening but it actually isn't. I am therefore going to take that Marveaux story with a pinch of salt.

I choose to believe you, Ian. I do too. I do really believe that he has a genuine love for NUFC, so much so that he would reject any sort of approach from any club...[/perhapstoomuchwishfulthinking?]

This will pretty much sum up everyone else's feelings about this. I know fuck all about him and I can't remember what was said about him the first time we were linked with him (but I do seem to remember myself being all for him signing...).

Even greater one by Michael Gray... He was not kind whatsoever

Damning assessment from Guy Mowbray.
