well, it seems a bit forced to me.. it's confusing when League 1 is actually the 3rd division in the country and league and cup names change every other year

Imo Chelsea have the best squad but Ancelotti was a terrible choice.. I fully expect him to last even less than Scolari. It really is strange how after wasting tens of millions each transfer window, so far there haven't been any expensive incomings (apart from Zhirkov) in the BIG AMAZING GRAND FOUR teams If I'm being paranoid, I'd say that there's some kind of an agreement between the clubs' owners.

My evil Geordie associate who attended most pre-season games is of the opinion that Kazenga has been one of our better performers alongside Barton. Fair enough, I personally haven't seen much of Lua Lua, but I don't think we have anything to lose if we play him. He's an attacker and as such, chances are he won't cost us goals. He'll certainly be more of an attacking threat than Duff and Nolan. And with a static Andy Carroll upfront we'll be desperate for somebody with pace

Harris says definitely no takeover until Saturday.. so that's that for Thomo's theory.. ah well

Good luck with the site and everything man but the cheap photoshop effects on the club badge are awful.. especially the one with the heavy blur in the header. You gotta respect the crest (and its copyrights) man..

Hopefully playing West Brom will bring back good memories for our players and raise their morale. We didn't beat many (any other?) teams twice last year so if there's any side we'd have good memories of playing its West Brom. Can't believe this is on BBC HD as well, f***ing class! I knew it was worth getting that SkyHD box even without any intention of getting an HD subscription Ye, so I can now not only go and see it myself, I can also record it and watch it back glorious HD when I get home. Good times (if it's a positive result!) Big TRon, I agree with your comments mate. Our team now looks slower than Andy Griffin on the turn. We need an injection of youth up front I reckon. Either stick Nile Ranger or go with Shola. It's not ideal but playing with Nolan up there is going to slow the team to a standstill. yep, Carroll is equally immobile.. Lua Lua, Ranger or even an indifferent Jonas would be a better option than Kevin fucking Nolan

This has crossed my mind too on a couple of occasions. For some reason though.. I can't wait for the season to start. yeah, me too.. In fact, I reckon we'll be alright regardless if there's a new owner or not.. The fact that WBA and Boro are our toughest games speaks volumes..

me

I got this awful feeling that Kevin fucking Nolan will be the new Nicky Butt.. always turboshit but undroppable.. god help us

press conference 3pm You sure? ITKs have agreed on it

press conference 3pm

fucking Kevin Nolan man

Stoichkov was at his best from 90 to 94 edit: oh yeah, got it

Stoichkov was a great player but he has always been a massive c***.. thick as pig s*** too.. can hardly string a sentence together.. no respect for his personality whatsoever Shearer on the other hand is the better goalscorer, the better professional and not a f***ing idiot are you saying that Shearer is a better player than Hristo Stoitchkov? well, they're different types of strikers.. Stoichkov was quicker and had better technique.. probably more exciting to watch but Shearer was more consistent, a better goalscorer and a good professional. Tbh t's like comparing Edmundo to Batistuta or something.. I'd bet that Sir Bobby himself would always pick Shearer over the village idiot that is Stoichkov as a man.

Stoichkov was a great player but he has always been a massive cunt.. thick as pig shit too.. can hardly string a sentence together.. no respect for his personality whatsoever Shearer on the other hand is the better goalscorer, the better professional and not a fucking idiot

No, you are

my thoughts exactly..

Any links for the second press conference?

Thanks for sharing Thomo lad.. fingers crossed.

1-1 Andy Carroll

Keegan

and fuck you all

Quite frankly a lot of you are full of bullshit. I'm under no illusions that Martins wants to/can stay, loves the club.. etc, but to blame his missed chances for the relegation is pathetic and shows that either people haven't watched the games at all or they just don't have a clue about football. "Good riddance" eh?.. It was the same with Bellamy, it was the same with Robert and Given.. even fucking N'Zogbia. Man, I'm glad we got rid of those unprofessional wasters, we're so much better without them disrupting the team spirit, aren't we.. Finally we've assembled a squad full of honest professionals - Butt, Nolan, Smith, Duff, Geremi, R Taylor.. We'll surely reap the rewards in the next few years.

Best striker we had since Shearer retired.. and I seriously doubt we'll buy a better one in the next 3 seasons. Good luck Oba
