Stand up when Nottingham Forest score. Cheers chaps. Much appreciated.

First Toon game that I'll be sitting with the fucking home fans. Any advice from seasoned match-goers as to how best to fit in? Fucking dreading it.

Absolutely fantastic today. Chuffed to bits to have him. What I love most is his professionalism - seems a top top player and a top top guy. Not afraid to get stuck in both on and off the pitch. Really hope he stays fit and kicks on. What a difference from Nolan.

Been far more controversial already since his move. Also apparently threw a bottle of water over Shaun Derry during a BBC interview. Perhaps it's just Joey trying to find his place!

Had to be that cunt Agbonlahor to score an all. Can't fucking stand the ugly bastard.

We'll play like shite again and lose either 1 or 2-0 unfortunately. Team selections and tactics so far indicate that we'll not take the game to them. They'll have an easy day I fear.

Think dave's right here. Pretty obvious the players we've brought in are not Pardew's signings. That he puts consistent faith in Shola, who's frankly been worse than shite in every single game he's played so far, speaks volumes IMO. Absolutely ridiculous. No reason whatsoever why we couldn't have set 4-5-1 tonight. Will be interesting to see what he does with HBA when he's back.

Canny. Fucking immense. Might be going to that - shame I'll be in with the fucking Forest lot.

An absolute travesty that we were not in for him. Especially on loan with a view to a permanent. Irrespective of what anyone says about him being too similar to the strikers we already have, he's a good player and a far far far better option than Shola or Loven. Think he would have linked up with Cabeye and HBA well tbh.

Even if he does come back 'half the player', which I think is unlikely, he'll still be a great asset for us. And, even if he loses some pace, which again, is unlikely given he had a break rather than ligament problems, no way would he struggle like Owen. HBA is a very technical player who'll find his role quickly in the team.

And a 'big name' signing too!! How old is Hesselink now, going by FM looks good but plays shit. 32/33 I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but where has this idea that Sturridge was acutally available come from?

I agree that it's defo worth waiting until we find a quality forward. But sadly in the meantime we've got to rely on Ba and Best. Beyond them, we're simply fucked. Here's hoping Sammy turns out to be the next Ronaldo

And for good reason tbh.

Ay? That doesn't even make sense if reports are to be believed. They 'won't panic' but yet will try and hijack the transfer of another player to another club to whom we'd not even been linked throughout the summer? Nonsense. Unadulterated bullshit. No excuse for not finding a striker in the timeframe. None whatsoever. Lists should have been drawn up and contingency plans put in place long before August 31st.

Put it this way, we've got another 6 months to see if he would have been worth it.

There is a middle ground between throwing millions on players such as Owen, Luque etc, and buying absolutely fucking nobody. We are well-run if you completely ignore the sports aspect, and by doing that you are completely missing the point of running a fotball club. Its not supposed to be ran like a normal business. I understand what you mean here, and I concur. Not buying, as in actually paying money for, a forward is unforgiveable given our back-up options if Ba and Best are injured for any length of time.

Forest's problem is that they lack pace, especially on the wings. I don't know why Schteeve is complaining about lack of players though. With the funds he did have at his disposal he brought in three central midfielders, all over 30 and all severely on the decline.

I'm sure it's been said before, but he's got a cheek talking about ambition. Having his cunt of an agent trying to drum up interest among 'Champions League' clubs only to head down to QPR.

I would assume he'd get paid even if he was on the bench tbh. He could still 'play', per se, but just might not get on the pitch. Anyway, all the best Demba, we're going to need thee.

Have squad numbers been confirmed now? I'd give him number 9 tbh. Gave Carroll the world of confidence and might well do the same for Leon. Really like him as a centre forward, tbh, and really hope he kicks on this year. We're going to need him.

obviously wasnt there for the 12 camera face photoshoot thing they did for us back in february Just give him shola's face but with hair haha The Teeth man its all about the teeth Skirge, how about Sammy as the ? striker in your sig?

I think Golfmag indicated it might in the next year or so. If there is a fucking God. I just hope they'll find people that will want to deal with them - sooner rather than later preferably.

Just out of interest, when do people reckon he's going to sell, if at all?

Is there something similar for net spend chap? Am sure West Brom spent £7million on Long? Or was the £4.5 the initial fee?
