Enlighten me which midfielders you're talking about. Count me in. Preferably if you could go a bit outside of the box and count out Speed and Lee. Is this a joke? Batty, Pedro, Speed, Hamann, Lee, Dyer and Parker were all more effective PL players. Besides that fact it´s over 15 years since Pedro and Batty played for us, I would find it very hard to agree that Cabaye is not fit to lick Hamann, Dyer and Parkers underpants Moving on then.

Did more good than bad.

He was awful today and against City. Service or no service. Good at one thing and one thing only. When we are unable to utilise that one quality, it's better to not use him at all.

How many modern day milestones has he beaten/overseen now? Biggest home loss in 86(?) years Biggest opening day loss in 20(?) years Most shots without any shots on target in 8 years Any more?

It's almost as I can agere with Pardew subbing cisse instead of Shola. Cisse was just dogshit awful. Worse than Shola without a doubt. Would personally have subbed Shola myself, but at least i can somewhat understand why he did it. If Anita didn't manage to take Tiotes spot today, we need to execute Pardew. Shit game over all. Not looking forward to our next.

Not the train wreck I was expecting, but gaaaaaaaah

Gaaaah

Pretty young that compared to the rest of the team. They are becoming the new Bolton.

RTG style thread if I ever saw one.

To be a fly on the wall in the dressing room right now...

Order seems to be restored. The season we finished 5th, most people on here were cautious and a bit pessimistic ahead of each game. Combine that with the at most times negative play we had, the two negatives became positive and we won. Last season we expected too much, and were quite positive in terms that we predicted wins a lot more. Combine that positive with the negative play, we ended up negative and lost. This season has potential.

I know, it was just the way it was stated. My mind started to wander.

Nothing to do with the conversation we are having about the Carroll money mind but You don't have to go back long to find the club being praised on here for its set up of bringing in players, the same people who are kicking off right now no doubt, and the same people praising them in January. Arsenal-aside, in recent years we're the only club in the Premier League that on the whole never spend more than we bring in. I'll always have a problem with that. That statement really makes me wonder how your personal economy is for some reason.

Chadli needs to attempt some assists rather than doing it all himself. Currently looks like Taarabt mk II.

My stream cut over to womens bandy between netherland and ireland aften the sunderland match. Some canny lookers on the dutch team.

Sunderland looking good. Passing solid, good movement, working hard.....

Somewhat comforting seeing Stoke. Next match on the "whos possibly shitter than us" scouting list today: fulham and sunderland.

gotta love the fashion police on n-o

Oi! Brother from another mother or simply just a copy cat?

He's so calm. "Shhh, don't fight it, it'll all be over soon" Is the other guy tapping out?

Reminds me of a hairy hitman monkey that finds no pleasure in his job.

On a "selfish" note I am fond of our players that are religious as they are more likely to live sensible lifestyles with little to no alcohol.

"Can you dig it suckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" - chants would be awesome.

Would suit the way we played last season better than Cisse did. At worst he would be the second best striker at the club. Haven´t bothered to read back too much, but it seems someone finds this link negative as well? Christ...
