Duff's gone then eh. Ah well Come on Joey fucking Barton!

sickening to see N'zogbia, Milner, Bramble and Beye on the same pitch. Should all still be our players

we all knew that anyway, he's got no backbone whatsoever

to be fair, there's nowt wrong with saying they'd love to sign him. Fabricating nonsense like Mark Hughes isn't comparable

If this continues we are going nowhere but League one. And then League two. Anyone putting faith in the reserves needs a slap

Another one we absolutely need to keep

where does the article imply that? It says that Shearer wouldn't have sold Bassong, not Shearer would refuse to manage us without him

spot on :lol:

stop replying to him ffs

We did, WBA. But I agree with you

when? He looks decent, nowhere near top class

someone needs to add Butt with the captain's armband

Well i've acknowledge that he had a bad season last time round. 2 bad injuries and poor form saw to that. Baring that in mind 5 goals in 15 league starts isn't that bad for a players who gives as much to the team as Drogba. Very convenient that you leave out the champions league and cup stats though which probably amount to 1 in 2 or better. Drogba imo is the best all round striker in the world, he has everything and will prove it this season.

And the only real experience we do have is with absolute dogshite players

Of course it is. Hiding behind the £700m or so is a weakling of a human being, we need to rethink tactics, because shouting 'Ashley out' 4 times during the game is doing absolutely f*** all

Because he bangs on his chest he's the only one with passion? what absolute nonsense. Unsurprising from someone who may have been to 2 games in their entire life. If that's what we look for in players, we might aswell hire Gordon the Gorillia and all his pals for the first team

the fat fucking cunt of man should already be fearing for his life. If he turns up on saturday, I say freedom of Newcastle to whoever does (insert horrific idea) to the bastard

Duff's a country boy, he wont want to go back to London

Just like Duff, not really up to it at premiership standard but a player we need to hold onto this season

take it everytime, given than he shouldn't be starting anyway

Duff generally does well against lower standard opposition, as woeful as he's been. His lack of pace wont be as apparent in this league and he'll get more goals than Shola and Carroll in that team. I wanted him gone in June but we have to face the fact that he's the best we've got or will get in that position, sad but true.

Coloccini has to start, but I wouldn't surprise me if Hughton had used Sky + for the game, heard Lawrenson's commentary and decided to leave him out

Especially when they're s***. f*** me, is everyone going to say we should keep Alan Smith too after one good performance? Yes, I KNOW there are no signs of anyone coming in, but the facts are: 1. These players are too expensive. 2. These players are rubbish. They're fair points but who's DD's back up? Lua Lua? A kid with only a few first team games for Doncaster. The more Fat t*** "balances the books" the further down the league we'll slide. As things stand (no manager, no owner, no direction) we're not going to do anything anyway. We might as well get rid of the tossers bleeding the club dry for no return. ok, and in the long term i couldn't agree more. But do you not think that Duff will do a decent job (and far better than anyone else) on the wing this season? It wouldn't surprise me if Duff disappears for most of the season after a half decent start. He's done it before plenty of times. I don't remember him starting well once

I agree, he's poor but sadly our best winger and the only one I trust to do his job, ie contributing and making goals. If it was Butt or Nolan i'd say absolutely
