Cabaye has a eye for the best pass on the pitch, which means should Cuntenkrands or Shita actually get a game, they won't be getting the ball. Great signing.

PM.

Yes. Yes I am. This particular cocktail is bringing back memories of Best scoring 2 and winning a penalty in a 4-4 draw.

I'd love to see that. Best and Ba will eat that lot for breakfast.

Barton couldn't bully a 6-year-old, let alone a black lad.

As things stand he's replacing a valuable first team player ffs. And Parky, why didn't Ferguson send him out on loan, it's not like he isn't fond of doing so. Such a negative guy.

Leeds are fucking shite.

You should be worried about yourself after such a baffling comment. How on earth would Barton tear Gibbs apart?

Why on earth would Gosling be playing that high up the park?

He's played in 5 games out of 6 this pre-season. We've conceded only once with him on the pitch and 3 times without him. Best defender on the planet?

What a player!

David James is mentally hilarious.

Lua Lua allowed to play against us, Bowyer not registered for Europe, now this. Pathetic.

Those who went today will get in free for the league cup tie, should it be at home.

Aye, they've looked a great partnership.

Nobody has said it is. Quite the opposite.

Choosing Harper for Gateshead and Krul for today suggests Pardew has made the right decision. Well done, Tim!

Lovenkrands RW.

Just look at the state of our squad players. And folk are actually unhappy about this? Incredible.

Sorry, was just adding a little to Gupter's post.

He's an improvement.

You have a very short memory, man.

Lovenkrands is a left footed striker, Obertan is a right winger as far as I can see. So we're in agreement that Obertan is more suited to the RW role? If we're going to play 4-3-3, the arrivals of Obertan and Marveaux push Loven further down the pecking order. I like that. I like it a lot.

Probably.

A massive improvement on Lovenkrands, in other words.
