Class that.

Nice gesture.

Santon still crocked then. Good side.

Is this not because he and his cronies are Spurs fans, wanting them to get into the UCL.

looks canny on the TV. As a fan of NUFC I'll never get to go in person though. I went to the Community shield in 2010, it's pretty impressive. Feel the seats could be closer to the pitch, also I hate those big square advertising boards on each corner.

What do you all think of Wembley as a stadium?

That Swiss lad is meant to be ok for RB, quite highly rated too. Not anywhere near ready yet though. Thought Mbabu was a centre back. Think Webe got enough cover there. Santon, Anita, Perch, Mbiwa, Tarvenier.

We should have got Clyne last summer. idiotic.

This. I think Coloccini makes a massive difference to the defence. Plus, confidence plays a part. Chelsea were on a bad run at that time and we had the momentum of some new signings. As soon as we lose a game, it seems we cant get out of the rut. We need 2 draws before another win. The mental side of the game is absolutely massive, which is why a negative spiral is so hard to stop and a positive trend is easy to keep going. Last season we would always bounce back from a couple of defeats and we never let it become a rut. For me the most interesting thing would be to find out what the factors are in that difference. Perhaps the players were burned out by the extra travel and games, plus most of our stars played in Summer tournaments. I think playing in the euros really took it out of Cabaye. I think there is a lot of truth in that, and the lack of preparation time. I just didn't want to post it because I might get slammed for sympathising. Think it's valid for the first half of the season. We were starting games with Fergie, Sammy, Tarvenier, Bigi. However we increased the squad with 5 senior players in January. Are we sitting 8th in the ladder from Making the signings to now? If that's true, I suppose it's valid.

Will this be the first time he hasn't been sacked at this point in the trend? Interesting to see how he responds. You really love Pardew. You are like a fly to s*** with this thread. Was that really necessary? I know you're Australian, but even so. I was asking a genuine question about his career up to now, so f*** off. It wasn't really necessary. I apologise. Just frustrated that Pards is still here.

Norwich are linked with Defour. Scouting the Portoguese league pretty hard.

Id go for Sissoko, Debuchy, Gouffran or Mbiwa. The rest who knows if well sell them.

£51 for a kids shirt with players name/number on is terrible really. Such a rip off for a bang average shirt. How much is it at the club shop. Tougher on you guys. With the Aussie dollar fairly strong it's on,y 60 dollars. Which isnt much in this expensive ass country.

Getting purchased. Except the club shop site has no such thing as a checkout page right now. Useless. Get it off kitbag.com free delivery I think.

Would have liked Benat to replace Cabaye.

Dont think thats them. Wasnt there some other ones where the navy blue was more electric blue.

Needs to adapt to the pace of the league, I have faith hell be class with a settled side.

Agree with this. Add Obertan to that list. Coloccini and Cabaye will leave in my opinion. Cabaye will go to PSG for 15 to 20 mill pounds and Coloccini will be released of his contract . Cabaye and Coloccini will need replacing. Would love Strootman but can see him going to a top 4 club.

Ill be getting that Stuttgart home shirt with Rojas on the back. Its class.

Villa will still want some cash so cant see any promoted team paying for him unless Cardiff spend big. Could see him at Fulham or maybe Pulis(if he stays) could have one last desperate throw of the dice to do something with Stoke. I think well see the promoted sides strengthen with the tv money. If you can get a goal scorer to score 12-15 goals you've got a great shot at staying up.

Where to people think Darren Bent will move to, one of the promoted sides? West Brom? Fulham?
