It's because it's Barton.

I was fucking furious when Smith had his legs kicked btw. I got so excited thinking he was gonna get his first goal! Nolan's first Prem goal for us as well!

Barton has actually been a calming influence in the middle, very assured on the ball, gives time to others.

I'm in shock! Part of me still thinks were are capable of fucking this up! Enrique is a fucking beast!

That was the players' complaint as well That doesn't surprise me at all.

Or, as they have specifically said they are going to do, they are not commenting on their targets, and the press don't have a clue. Would "any other club" actually just up their offer as soon as the receiving club decided to move the goal posts either?

I have no issue with the new shirt. The sponsor looks cheap, however I still maintain that our last home shirt was horrible to play football in, the sponsor was too thick and uncomfortable.

4 pages in 90 mins! There were quieter match threads last season

Not really. Look at them ffs. Lighten up mate, it's an laugh between a bunch of mates.

I wouldn't. Complete cunt who always moans about the hard deal he gets. Always someone elses fault. Personally prefer he had his knees smashed by Fitz Hall and his arse burgled by any fucker willing to bed him over. I agree he's a massive twat. But he's a quality twat who's absolutely proven in the Premiership. Our team would be much more dangerous and he'd probably work well with Carroll.

The more I think about this, the more I tend to think I'd be fucking ecstatic if he came back.

I wonder what Hughton actually thinks of the way Ben Arfa has acted throughout this. I'm sure he won't care in the short term if we get him in and he produces, but it has to be a concern. In all honesty, if this time next year he's kicking and throwing his toys out to get his move to Arsenal, chances are it will mean he's kept us up.... which I'll take!

I think Lennon is quality. His delivery was generally very good last year.

SWP is shit.

Tevez and De Jong are about the only City players with any conviction in their passing.

How the hell are Spurs not winning!

A lot of the saves Hart has made have been brilliant reflex saves, however Given also has very good reflexes and is definitely capable of making those saves.

Silva looks off the pace at the moment.

Outrageous effort.

Those Spurs tops they are wearing over their shirts are really nice

The guy was outstanding for us, but I completely understand the bitterness towards him given the nature of his exit. There's certainly a part of me that can't help wanting to see him fail.

Ryan Taylor's beard on Soccer AM

He heard "United" were after him!

Robert was shite by the time he left us a rightfully went. Loved him in his first few seasons for us though.
