Hughton will put out Harper Simpson _ Taylor _ Colo _ Enrique Taylor _ Barton _ Smith _ Jonas _____ Nolan Shola or Harper Simpson _ Taylor _ Colo _ Enrique Taylor _ Smith _ Barton _ Jonas Shola _ Xisco If Barton is fit to play. Otherwise put Guthrie in for him in the first set-up and Nolan in for him in the second.

Would like to see Guthrie on for Nolan soon.

Here's a fun anecdote from another forum concerning the dude heading that bid:

And people wonder why he has no confidence.

Yeah it does - they say over 40k too.

There's something really nostalgic about listening to matches on the radio. Love it.

Apparently his car is in the car park @ the training ground.

Why do we give a shit how many people show up? Are we in some big dick competition with Sunderland? Fuck 'em. There could be five people there, as long as we get three points I am happy.

How many of those played PL football last season? Wait, was that a serious question?

the amount of people reading nufcblog is scary.

Only saw the one where the guy took his shirt off after scoring and got his second yellow - in the first half.

good shout.

Bad agent most likely to be honest.

Harper Simpson _ Taylor _ Colo _ Enrique R. Taylor _ Barton _ Smith _ Jonas Carroll _ Ameobi Is what I expect with Guthrie, Xisco, Geremi, Ranger, Krul, Nolan, and LuaLua on the bench and maybe Kadar in place of one of those people. and by the 60th-70th minute I'd hope for it to possibly look something like: Harper Simpson _ Taylor _ Colo _ Enrique Smith Barton _ Guthrie _ Jonas Carroll _ Xisco but you never know how it will play out on the day.

Bent is on my fantasy team. He's treated me well so far.

Like any other striker, he thrives on service. When someone like Barton is feeding you the ball rather than some 18 year old kid you're bound to score a few more goals. Being a striker has to be one of the most thankless jobs when the majority of your job depends totally on the team around you. You can't put the ball in the net if you don't get it. (eg: Owen)

I'd also love to possibly get Lovenkrands back. Him and Xisco up front would do some wonders I think, especially if we had a Guthrie/Barton CM partnership with Jonas and another ball-playing midfielder. Lots of movement and passing ability. Also, if we had a better back-up at LB, I'd possibly even try a midfield that looked something like Jonas - Barton - Guthrie - Enrique with Xisco and Carroll/Ameobi/Ranger/New, Quicker striker up-front.

Xisco? This.

This. I really do think that Xisco is a class above what we have and just hasn't been given a fair crack. Once he does I really do think he'll come good.

That bar from GOAL THE DREAM BEGINS

'cause he's not worth it.

Don't think he's ready for a start quite yet. It'd be better to save that for Huddesfield than at home to Wednesday. He's the only one in our squad that's been having a Premiership-standard pre-season.
