Ronaldo

Think that belongs to Laurent, to be honest.

He's never looked out of his depth in the first team. He's the only one of the young lads you can say that about.

Indeed. Shame he wasn't born 5 feet tall, because then he'd making himself useful scrubbing toilets in McDonald's.

We get it, he's a brother.

I do hope in light of his previous misdemeanors his contract included a clause or two relating to appearances. Hopefully he's getting a lot less than the suggested 10K a week.

I'm naturally a smooth man. Waste of a question, really.

Why don't I ever hear about these things? I'd have happily drove up and asked a cutting question or two.

Complete rubbish he'll more than likely be in the starting XI Not sure if he'll chuck Anita straight in (IF we sign him), Marveaux i really like the look of alot but he still has alot to prove. Obertan are you having a laugh now or what ? Managers including Pardew love hardworking players like Jonas, he'll more likely than not start . Obviously hoping AVB messes up at Spurs. That gives me extra hope that we can win this game.

Never seen the guy play but this is just stereotypical BS. Absolutely. Load of nonsense. Ironically it's Cabaye himself who proves it.

Just seen the goals. Williamson's a joke, man. Beaten over the top yet again and outmuscled by a guy maybe half his size soaking wet on his birthday. Fucking pathetic, and God help us if Colo gets injured because he's only going to get worse.

Ba'll love that.

He's coming.

Debuchy and Carroll and it's a decent summer of business.

Aye. Much rather have Ryan Taylor playing.

Poor Jonas. With Anita arriving, Marveaux fit and firing and Obertan single-handedly annihilating Hartlepool he doesn't have a hope in hell of getting a game.

MUV!

What happened to HTT? It's like watching Shearer become an old carthorse.

Otter on the ball.

We were s**** today in a preseason friendly and a lot of people used that as an amplifier to their worries about lack of transfer activity, though the two aren't really related. They kind of are when it's the last friendly before an opener against Spurs.

Krul Perch Taylor Coloccini Santon Cabaye Tiote Marveaux Ben Arfa Cisse Ba

Is having 3 fit strikers enough to be panicking about though? That's an overstatement, tbh. Cisse's fine. Ba's fit enough to play 60 minutes and Shola perhaps 20.

Last year's was worse in terms of farcical mistakes. the Tiote thing was appalling, and cabaye not far off. This year has just been weird, hasn't felt like a pre-season for most of it. Have no idea how it's going to affect us until the first few weeks of the season though We got two players we badly needed in Cabaye and Ba.

Been a typical NUFC balls up of a pre-season, like. I take a bit of comfort from the fact that last year's was almost as bad.

Good. Some of these lads get told they are f***ing amazing far too often. They need a kick up the arse
