I'd take that. Pretty sure we'll be seeing goals on both sides though.

Better than a new signing

Ajax paid €16.25 million for him. Highly unlikely. Would certainly change a few opinions on here. Scored twice for Ajax in their first game.

Wow, excellent from Krul. How did Loven not score?

Just reading through Championship match reports and saw this: Good lord - depressing really. The fact that Kanu was one of the subs made me chuckle though.

Had 15 two years ago - 7 of them penalties. Have a feeling people will look back and laugh that they were concerned Cabaye wouldn't be an adequate replacement for Nolan.

Same question as before, who would he replace in our XI to get this run of games? Even if he starts out as a bench player I'm pretty sure at some point due to injuries/suspensions/players being sold, etc. he'll get a good run of games. Don't think we really need to be worrying about that.

Well, HBA is already injured, everyone says Marveaux could be a crock, and Barton might be gone. I guess we could complain about a little bit of depth though.

You'd think we just signed Keith Treacy based on the reactions in here.

He clearly has talent, but he's barely played for a few years. Still only 22. Always leery of Fergie's castoffs, but to me this is a little different than someone like Smith or Butt. Seems pretty clear to me that he's been signed as a replacement/upgrade on Routledge.

If he misses the Arsenal game because of this I think it would make me angrier than anything that's happened over the last few years.

Really sick of him on Twitter. He's like the footballing version of Zach de la Rocha. Just shut the fuck up already.

1 for right now.

Depends on what his cut is. Hope you're right though. You really think we'd get someone better than Pardew? I shudder to think who his mid-season replacement would be.

hope he stays just based on this. That's a pretty misleading stat. He only missed 6 PL games and included in those were draws with Fulham, Chelsea, and Bolton.

I pretty much hate life when polpolpol starts ranting. At the very least I wish I was illiterate.

Quite the opposite. It's a bunch of bullshit that's not even worth arguing over.

Wasn't Simpson's baby born like 6 weeks early or something? Regardless, that's probably Ashley's fault as well.

I don't think this will happen, but what do people think we would do if no one made him an offer? Will he be at training tomorrow or is he on his own now?

I'm not one to get too caught up in preseason results, but their defense has to be a concern. 14 goals conceded in less than 4.5 games. Though to be fair, the second one today was a pretty harsh penalty. They also haven't scored since the Asian tour.

Such a dick.

And if he walked out on the job he'd be criticized for not having the balls to fight, knew what he was getting into, blah blah blah. Pardew is certainly not to blame here.
