we've waited till 2016 to get an indoor 4G pitch!!!!! shocking.

He was one of our better players against Everton definitely. Then McClaren decided to take him off and leave Shelvey at DM and we were so exposed it was unbelievable christ that was a strange decision that night.

stick an £18m price on his head and tell he can go to the first club to meet it.

release dates?

if only pardew was still here. at least then we'd have known the real release clause. and he wouldnt have fannied on like rafa. we would have known it within 48 hours of the seasons's end.

he'll have a champions league chasing him. could see him ending up in turkey or Italy.

exactly. its all good and well getting £15m or whatever for the likes of perez but who u going to replace him with.

decent reputation as a coach?

The Corby tournament is reserve/U21 teams. oh right.

I don't know if its just confidence, but the palace cup game apart, he really hasn't been close to scoring (we'll ignore that goal at qpr). that open goal home to west ham the season before last was just typical.

riviere is really hopeless.

just hope his head doesn't drop and he feels the need to join a premiership club. I think being dropped from the squad actually increases his chance of leaving. a good euros would have continued some feel good factor from rafa deciding to stay and may have inspired townsend to really give it a go in the championship.

he's way down the list of people we should be selling, even if its just for the money or to save on wages. shelvey, gini, sissoko, colocccini, janmaat, and cisse first before even considering selling this kid.

eh? Belgium and northamptionshire both on july 24th according to the chronicle.

cunt sided with Pardew over the whole HBA fiasco as well. could have played a proper captains role and acted as an intermediary between the two for the good of the club.

quite the exaggeration there. its been said he's ready for the championship, not the world cup.

no need to be loaned out. he's ready for the championship. and we need a decent sized squad. got pace and power, 2 good feet and strong in the tackle.

bloke is still absolutely terrified of putting another foot wrong. waved his mrs and kid off on holiday this week but cancelled his and stayed behind in case it drew criticism.

plenty of people i know got sucked into that whole "we aren't a big club anymore" and the "we cant compete with sovereign states" s*** that pardew spouted. they were turning on others that expressed that for the size of the club we should have had a lot more ambition and expectation. at last we have a manager who wont give a s*** about the party line and will be open about his ambitions and expectations for this club.

having a decent coach changes everything

perez I think you could guarantee.

when you look at those early season signings, only really lovenkrands that had significant influence over a number of games. mainly the relegated squad that got us through the first half of the season. no real big changes were needed.

who did we bring in at the beginning of the season last relegation? didnt Best, Routledge, Pancake come in mid-season?

that's why I think we'll accept the first decent bid we get for shelvey. other than his debut, he didn't get motivated in the premiership so difficult to see him pushing himself in the championship.

isn't the correct term, a "sack of cocks"?
