Elliottman

How about: Simpson Taylor Colocinni Enrique Cabaye Tiote Obertan Barton Jonas Ba Yes very good defensively solid midfield with some pace and creativity on the wings. Ba is very isolated though. Fairly sure it'll be 4-4-2 on saturday and 5 in the middle against the Scum.

Colocho: "I post utter s****." Do you think it's a deliberate ploy to win worst footballing poster this year? Close to being the most negative person on the planet.

Really excited to see what team we start actually. Love the start of a new season. Ever the optimist

Its a winning smile for sure.

We'll get a stiker, I have no doubts.

Good look to the lad. His pace is going to come in handy.

on co.uk

From the teeny weeny bits I have seen he looks very very defensively minded not your attacking fulback who willl get goals Not many do to be fair.

Just had a look, looks like there are hardly any tickets left. Lots of singles. Not as easy to check on the website as it used to be like, but i reckon it could be a decent crowd.

Whats your thought on him mate? Talented but a lazy fucker?

I always remembert last season Pardew said we are going after youngsters but would stress to the board we need experience too. Dunno, not sure i could see them sactioning a 29 year old unless he was going cheap??

I phoned them today, said theyve all been posted over the course of last week, got to give it till wednesday and call back. Also, cant wait for Saturday!!

What did Pleat say?

Did he not say, his medical is today.

Should really help us away from home more than anything.

Christ i'm glad i don't visit other places, not sure what these places are mind. Actually, dont ever read the Chronicles comment underneath the articles, honestly, i almost convinced myself it all wasnt worth living for. Horrible place.

The club has already said it wants a top ten finish, i think everyone can agree, we'd all be happy with a top ten this year? If so, im not even sure what we are arguing about. Would you be saying the same if Tchoyi had headed his final chance over the bar? Very convenient result for the club that was. Regardless of what happened last season, a top ten finish would represent progress. Again, I think we'd all take that. It wouldn't have if we'd beaten West Brom. But we didnt? As I say, very convenient. I think if we don't finish in the top seven, then we've failed. :lol: # What?? Didnt you say we are going down if we dont sign a striker. So relegated if we dont sign a striker, top 7 of we do fkn hell. What are you on about? I never said I thought we'll finish 7th with a striker. Where we are in the league, the money at our disposal, anything less than 7th is failure imo. Jesus, its nee wonder people call us deluded. Anything less than 7th is failure. f*4** me. 7th position for a club with the fanbase that ours has and the revenue streams associated with such a fanbase in terms of matchday attendances, shirts bought, pints bought (£3.70, f***ing hell) and the rest. Why shouldn't it be a given that we finish 7th, what is the delusion? Who's going to finish above us? Stoke? Bolton? The delusion only arises from the facts that we are so badly managed at the senior level that it is actually impossible. Not finishing 7th wont be failure.

Couldnt have put it better.

A £35million windfall if invested properly could have us challenging for a top 6 place. Why is there such satisfaction with mediocrity on here? It's either that or it's simply the wanton need to look clever on the internet. Its called being realistic mate.
