Top 3 sides have those players, 4th isn't a million miles away. i agree however tottenham have the likes of modric, van der vaart, bale and adebeyor. Liverpool have Suarez. We dont have a player of the class of these type. However it could be argued that our team spirit and camaraderie vastly outweighs having such world class players. Hatem Ben Arfa, Cheik Tiote and Fabricio Coloccini disagrees. I agree with you that these three plus Yohan Cabaye are very good players for our team and have the potential top be top class english premier league players. However they have to prove it over a longer period of time like the players named above have. We've had a good start to the season, and progression would be a top 8 finish.

Just watched the final 10 minutes of the game against Spurs. You could see the positioning and skill of Ben Arfa is going to completely transform our style of play. He didnt play out of his skin, though the potential for him to creat something from nothing is huge. He was a whisker form putting Obertan in for a one on one in the last couple of minutes.

top 4! i dont know about that top 4 sides have players like mata, rooney, silva, nani, aguero. We would be missing players of a similar ilk.

Id like to see us sign Papiss Demba Cisse, Tranquillo Barnetta and Aly Cissokho. This would go a long way to securing us as a top 7 side.

I think people are having unrealistic expectations of HBA. The lad has been out for a year with a carrer-threatening leg break. Give him time to re-adjust to the pace of the premier league and to get his match sharpness back. When this happens he is going to be incredibly valuable to the performance of our team. If Obertan had come on off the bench and made the impact Ben Arfa made against Spurs, people would be singing his praises undoubtedly.

How old is he.. wikipedia says he is 24? he says hes 25? time to check fm.

Pardew loves the term: " Fucking Superb " ... Thread Title Change to.. Alan " Fucking Superb " Pardew

DURING ACN the team would be... Krul Santon Saylor Coloccini Raylor/New non african lb Obertan/Marveaux Cabaye Abeid/Gosling/Guthrie Jonas/Marveaux Ben Arfa Best/Ameobi

Its strange that Pardew is reluctant to use Marveaux.. perhaps he doesnt perform well on the training pitch.. because every time ive seen him play he has oozed class.

Think that's one of the most ignorant comments ever witnessed on N-O and that includes Neesy's posts. shutup stu

to be fair it was hisd direct running at defenders that lead to sholas goal. we started playing alot beter football with hmi on the park aswell. He is jsut lacking in match sharpness, which will come back.

hats?

we are dominating here.. a good half time team talk and some good substitutions and we can DO THIS!

Friend of mine in Berlin claims we have representatives keeping an eye on young striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga.

Bale vs Simpson ... Can see Bale easily coming out on top Coloccini v Adebayor.. Hard Battle.. Coloccini can compete technically but perhaps not physically Saylor v Defoe ... I think Saylor can dominate Defoe both physically and airially Raylor v Van der Vaart... I dont think Raylor will have too many problems with Vdv, however vdv will drift inside which is where he will punish us Gutierrez v Walker ... I think that Gutierrez engine may be too much for Walker resisting his drive forward Obertan v Assou-Ekotto ... Obertan may have the advantage here and could beg pack Ekotto with his pace striking fear into the Spurs man Cabaye v Parker ... Cabaye has more mobility and more technique.. however Parker plays the holding wall quite well.. I think Cabaye can come out on top in this battle Tiote v Modric .. Possibly the best playmaking centre midfielder up against the best defensive midfielder in the league.. If Tiote can stop Modric we are in with a big chance. Best v King ... King lacks mobility however reads the game brilliantly and is a beast physically... has the potential to take Best out of the game.. Ba v Kaboul ... Two pacey player, both good in the air and both physically strong, Kaboul however is prone to the odd mistake that Ba could pounce on. Big advantage that we have two technically gifted strikers who can alternate to help out the battle in the midfield. I think that Cabaye and Tiote will e doing alot of work helping out the fullbacks, so this is important. With confidence high at the moment. Im going for a 2-1 Newcastle win. With Spurs lack of width being there main downfall.

Is this serious? Fuck

aussiemag 1 - 1 sifu

2-1 now

norwich are spanking swansea 2-0

cut out the parts which deal with the 'level of ambition' or whether or not we've brought enough enough of the right kind of players - on reflection, I think I was trying to highlight how we're now managing to hit with the majority of our transfers (very few reds, mostly amber/green). Could even look at other Premiership clubs over a similar period and see how successful they have/haven't been - I don't have the info to hand but my hunch is that several of our competitors are still bringing in talented but unsuitable players along with "name" players who don't bring the improvement in performance that their wages and transfer fee suggest. You cut out the bits that you didn't agree with. I started to quote a few of the arrogant, patronising quotes you've made in your "own thread" and couldn't be arsed anymore, there were too many and I got bored. It's almost as if you've become over-excited at the only decent post you've made in 2 years and reacted to every reply like a know-it-all egomaniac, it's a real shock.

i dont. you deserve a little more respect

Must spend more time golfing, than working on his general footballing ability.
