Prepare to be underwhelmed. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=40324.msg832449#msg832449 European qualification it is, then. On a serious note, the league will be very competitive next season. West Ham, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Everton, Blackburn, Portsmouth and, depending on their appointment, Man City, will all be expecting European football. That said, despite the massive overhaul the club will undergo on and off the pitch this Summer, i imagine Allardyce is quietly confident of securing a Uefa Cup place. We shall see.

He played 11 games for them in the entire season. He only joined in late February. What's that got to do with how well he's played? Well exactly. The table is supposed to be showing us the best buys of the year. For him to be third is laughable. I suppose. Although, long term, i think he'll prove to be the best signing of last season.

Mascherano has been outstanding for Liverpool, in big Champions League games too.

:celb: There goes £15m with absolutely no return. WOOP WOOP.

With any ambition to what? Play in the Champions League & win trophies? Only one club there can offer that...

At least if he's in charge of the u21s i don't have listen to him droning on about 'the football club'.

Useless.

Given Richards Milito Ben Haim Bridge Appiah Diego Barton Bellamy Viduka Tevez That is all.

Arsène Wenger.

He has spoken of his admiration for their history, fans etc. on several occasions.

Presumably a fool who happened to catch one of our Uefa Cup games where Sibierski & Bramble played well.

Good signing, in my opinion. He could do very well in a 3 man central midfield. Off the field, i think he'll realise this is his last chance to have a professional football career. Anyway, i guess this means Dyer is going to be axed...

9 Premier League goals isn't bad for someone incapable of scoring.

How many more of those performances can Lampard get away with? The 'balance' was correct tonight, Gerrard restricted himself to a defensive role (which he played well), but yet again Lampard failed to produce one positive piece of football in the entire game.

Are you still sure Roeder and Parker are going to here next season, Yorkie?

Isn't Bridge injured, or at least struggling with his fitness? I'd say Shorey fully deserves his place anyway.

As long as Anton Ferdinand isn't coming in the other direction...

This'll be the 'Random African DM', then?

Viduka is a much better player than Martins, and a more suitable partner for Owen too...

Derby are promoted.

4 minutes stoppage time.

Yeah, you shouldn't have posted.

Simply, he's nowhere near good enough on the pitch to justify such constant unpofessionalism off of it.
