We need to be careful we don't jump the gun here. We've had a few false dawns with him supposedly leaving before and this could just be another. Even if we are willing to get rid and he is willing to leave, we still need to find some insane club willing to take him.

Doubt it. Likely to be the away kit that was already unveiled.

With the talk in the other thread of this new fitness coach helping Marveaux etc. Well Gouff is another. Whether it was pardew hooking him too early or he was simply exhausted, either way we need to get longer out of him than just the 65mins every match then subbed out. Also as others have been discussing in this thread. I think he did ok wide left. Got a couple of important goals and assists. But it's clear he's not perfectly suited to the wide role. I actually liked the look of him in that last game against Arsenal when he was up top with Cisse. Some of the movement and pace was causing Arsenal problems and I think he could be a really useful weapon if used correctly.

Literally anybody > Kinnear though. We were fucked as soon as he was appointed.

I still absolutely despise this guy and it still hasn't quite sunk in that he's running shit at our club

We weren't a bad team last year either but the main reason we struggled is still here. The manager.

I cannot let this comment just pass by "we all love him"? i think you may need a better gauge for people's feelings towards the Big Sho

I think it's becoming quite clear to me that we will sign a max 1-2 senior players this summer. Perhaps one more if we lose someone important.

So much fucking money man As great as it would be to have all the best players in the premier league, it's depressing when your team is run on a budget and you know you don't have a hope of competing with these guys.

I've heard some people say it's because Ashley doesn't want to have to pay the wages during this time when players are on holiday and not "working"

I take it all back.

That offer can't be real. Villa would have got a fantastic deal if that were the case.

The best thing about the last few pages was the Rock Bottom gif. More wrestling gifs please

Well there is the fact that loads of us on here knew he played there and thought it was his best postion, but for ages Pardew insisted he had to be a no.10 or not play at all. Then when he finally put him there (I think out of necessity one game) well he went on and proved that clueless idiot wrong.

How many teams is that now who have that template next season?

“Hatem wasn’t really a right-sider until I put him there.” Wow, just wow.

"but Cheikhou has contacts with clubs from the middle of the table in England" Not us then

Yep. Pretty much everyone on here called it as well. Dreading that game. Cannot see anything other than a public battering. I just hope we recover quickly from it.

I thought he was scoring for fun for Levante in La Liga at the start of last season?

"Me and him....." oh Pards

He failed the Everton medical no? What could have changed in 6months?

It's so simple and clean. It's really not hard to make a nice kit, yet somehow Puma seems to outdo themselves every year. Doesn't help that, while Firelli is a sharp, sexy logo, Wonga is what it is. If logos were people, Wonga would undoubtedly have Down syndrome. Pirelli

and then goes on to the exact same thing with Bent and Remy.

Thick according to Pardew
