well, our entire first 11 know their place isn't really under threat thanks to such a shallow squad and no signings. not surprising complacency has set in.

"the best keeper in the world shouldn't be doing that"

RAWK LOCKDOWN

Unless you win it, the Europa League is just utter s***. The burden of so many games for so little money, and the absurdly offensive system of Champs League drop outs. What I'd give for the old UEFA Cup

Jesus christ, what an absolute cocksucker. His twitter pics are just cringe worthy. At least this mong should be in the gutter by the time he hits 40.

Expecting another poor performance, but think we'll scrape a win. 2-1.

8th or 9th.

F*cking hell, was so excited for the new season a couple of weeks ago, but this news and the shoddy transfer movement has left me pretty subdued.

SSN reporting they're in for Dempsey

Aye, the Europa League is just a silly burden unless you actually win the damn thing.

The club isn't an athlete, it's a business. And the athletes that do improve enough, well, they go to the clubs with the cash i.e. Man U, City and Chelsea

Regardless of signings, that's probably the realistic limit of most clubs anyway. Financially, Man U, Man City and Chelsea are in a league of their own, and should retain the top three places in the years ahead. That leaves Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and ourselves chasing that final spot above the joke known as the Europa League.

can't believe all the fuss over it. some stitches will fix it up in no time. https://twitter.com/DhariAlSarraf/status/239391048009396224/photo/1

see edit sorry

Sky - Colo, Tiote and Ba doubtful for Chelsea edit: oops, should be Colo duhhh

Chelsea's summer spending must be approaching £100 million by now, surely? F*cking ridiculous.

No way! Surely a joke I've just had a look. Yeah, it's locked alright hehe

Some views on O'Neill from a Man U forum

oh god please be true

On most other club forums, their predictions for the season are there to see, can't see anything on RAWK. Wonder if the mods went into uber-stasi mode (again) cos some fans dared suggest Rogers would suck balls and they'd finish 10th?

Like Debuchy, don't think this one's going through either

Who's doing Newcastle radio coverage for us next season? Didn't one of Real Radio or Radio Newcastle lose rights?

Guardian predictions so far... 1 Man C 2 Man U 3 Chelsea 4 Arsenal 5 Spurs 6 Liverpool 7 Newcastle 8 Everton 9 10 Fulham 11 12 Aston Villa http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/aug/10/premier-league-preview-newcastle And Louise Taylor on form...

Having to fill in a couple of gaps (those with an asterisk), but looks like the Guardian have us down for 7th or 9th. 1 Man C* 2 Man U* 3 Chelsea 4 Arsenal 5 Spurs* 6 Liverpool 7 8 Everton 9 10 Fulham 11 12 Aston Villa
