He is inconsistent because he hardly got 90 minutes at Wolfsburg. He was inconsistent here because we were inconsistent (injury situations, manager changes) I think if he got to play every game for a few months in a decent team he would come good.

Hm... checked out a few images. He always looks different - it depends on how the light is. http://cache2.asset-cache.net/xc/98647494.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF878921A343B2C87A49D8F55AF7BCE763EF6CFC330D49A2977A047A7F5A0F9682B67FD0

Yeah, true. But I think that Martins was used more to his strengths under KK as well. It was the attacking style that suited him more than that what we "played" before under Big Sam.

Checking all the photos from that photographer on Getty, he's clearly used the levels on PS too heavily. Far too much black! I didn't want to say anything though in case I was accused of being a pedant! Slightly altered: http://www.clockworkjunkie.com/assets/no/slightly-altered.jpg Fine, now we have a white manager and a grey & white shirt.

It wasn't about Martins, though. Everyone was brilliant under Keegan - even Butt and Geremi.

Campbell's lack of pace? He was the second fastest player in the Premiership last season! Probably the problem isn't pace (top speed) but his acceleration.

Strange seeing Raúl with/in a Schalke shirt. http://cache4.asset-cache.net/xc/103132825.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF87892102A727B1636DE2E6563068FE9297803FF70FA23BEFFAFB725D8B639FEB5879D5E30A760B0D811297

Saylor Sol Colo Jose That's the best back 4 for me which we should play. Saylor at RB isn't going to happen, though.

Wonder what our first choice centre back pairing will look like then...

I think he'll be a good signing. He'll get us some goals in our Champions League games.

Don't know if it's true, but I read that: http://www.jarrowandhebburngazette.com/latest-sport/Toon-boss-allays-injury-fears.6439751.jp

I don't think we'll sign Raul btw. But if that was the case, I wouldn't be happy about it. Exactly the type of player we shouldn't sign imo.

A tattoo of a Schalke player? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8853969.stm Oh, that's news to me. The German media said it was a "done deal" that he would go to Schalke.

A tattoo of a Schalke player?

Wow, congrats. I wish I had done such a bet.

Shit. Thanks Molde. Was my last bet now for the next time. Will wait till the PL and Bundesliga are back.

Oh, looks shit now. Need Molde to get at least a draw.

0-0 at half time... Saw that as well and was happy I didn't include that one.

Brann: Yes! Molde: No!

My money is on Tromso, Molde, Odd, Brann, Rosenborg (all dnb's).

Fuck off!

I agree with the fact that Hughton has done a really good job last season. But what Barton said there goes a bit too far. Hughton isn't Mourinho or someone like that.

Big money bet on Valerenga dnb (live bet)

they scored...
