SUPERTOON

The squad is weaker than the one that ended the season. A complete and utter failure from the board, but hardly suprising.

Back to the 4-4-2, which is even more frustrating considering Pards plays our best formation with our worst players, and our worst formation with the best players. Anyway, think we will struggle, we seem to be in a bit of a lull at the minute, from fans to players. Villa will park the bus, reckon they will nick it on the break. 0-1

AP admits. 'We'll look at it in January

AP: "The targets we have are impossible today, we will go with what we've got" #nufc

Great draw for us in terms of qualification, still would have loved a massive team like.

So glad we have a game to focus on, off to the match now hope its a good night lads.

We have Ba and Cisse an nobody else up front. Honestly we still have Shola who is a "decent" cover. I may have bias but 10m+ for Carroll is never a good deal. I'd rather spend 5-6m on some unproven striker in France. 10m+ for Carroll is definitely a panic buy. The point is we are doing neither.

Wait, are sky saying they are close to agreeing a deal for or with Carroll, quite important really?

Wow, we really are finished then. :'(

Rhodes isn't worth 8 million though.

Rodwell? Possibly, but they were after De Rossi as well, but he turned them down, the press reckon he wants another CM.

Sky claiming Nigel De Jong's move to Milan all but done. WOnder if they will replace him?

Would be good man management from Pards to start Tav.

Haven't they been saying that all summer though? If we made an acceptable bid ( which we won't), he would be here like a shot.

At least David Craig won't be making rubbish up, he is in France with Barton.

He is only saying what pretty much everyone else thinks.

Few quotes in the sun from Pardew saying we are waiting to see if anything appealing comes up.

Aye but he already said it months ago, he doesn't have to constantly mention it. Just sounds like he is trying to prepare us for one of them going.

Pards sounds like he is inviting bids for our big players.

There is that NO9 bar Steve Wraith has, cheap beer but hot as f*** inside, went in fat as f*** and came out only slightly fat as f***. Cheers will give it a go.

What are the best pubs to go to pre match on a thursday night?

Seydoux... Seydoux, though, maintains that he will not be forced into a sale and remains optimistic regarding Lille's chances of turning the Copenhagen tie around. He told L'Equipe: "If we fail to qualify for the Champions League would I be forced to accept Newcastle's proposal? You know that I am not very flexible when it comes to business.
