we're the only team to not have five or six equally talented keepers slugging it out.

Yeah, he didn't understand that battering long balls towards two forwards completely unsuited to that approach was what was required.

People like you deserve every piece of fucking shit that the club peddle. Every minute of turgid Pardew anti-football, every four yard sideways pass that your favourite new ginger signing plonks across our static midfield, every Steven Taylor rick, every time our coaching staff absolutely ruin a class player or alienate a great talent like Ben Arfa because they haven't got the talent, the inclination or the arsehole to properly manage him. You're like Henry Hoover, man. Swallowing the crap sprinkled everywhere with a big, dopey grin on your face. You ought to consider whether, on this particular issue, it's actually you that's swallowing crap. What did you think when we heard that Ben Arfa (and Marveaux) were blamed and ostracised for some of our 0-3 and 0-4 maulings at home, when they entered the fray at 0-2 or 0-3 after 65-70 minutes? There have been countless, innumerable occasions when the club (and it's current manager) have been proven to be liars, truth-stretchers and charlatans, so if you choose to believe them then there really is no hope left for you.

Gone with: Mignolet, Hamer Cahill, Skrtel, Kompany, Debuchy, Janmaat Walters, Hazard, Nolan, Puncheon, Mutch Rooney, Giroud, Bony

He's incredibly limited and unreliable. The part of me that wants him to stay is the part which doesn't want Colback to become first choice in the centre of the park.

Pleased he's found a club, mainly to eliminate the spectre of a Carlton Cole scenario where we re-sign him based upon his fitness training with us.

Wonder if he'll get Darius Vassell's entrance party?

Janmaat is new to the league, Coloccini looks uninterested and past it, Williamson is limited and Haidara is too raw and not ready.

loads of startled NUFC fans being rushed by a camera crew and Joey Greco.

He always talks about how we lacked pace (Hughton's side when he took over, end of 12/13, end of last season) and yet now we have a bit of it, he's bound to completely and utterly misuse it. I'll also be interested to see what he does for a 'Plan B' now he's missing Shola. The man complaining about a lack of pace, introducing the bloke who's slower than an episode of New Tricks as soon as we're in the clarts. God only knows this year. Williamson up top?

Hatem is such a maverick, I absolutely love it. He's rock and roll through and through.

'Hatem Ben Arfa leaving do @ Back Page, let's get cunted and enjoy the buffet'

It was between either them or Leeds, and Blackpool were the longer price. Wouldn't have mattered in the end.

How fit did he look today? I only saw a bit of the first half, and have since seen the goal. I ask only cos he looked woefully short of anything approaching match fitness in his last few outings.

Pleasing to see Williamson start. I think my desire to see Pardew ousted is marginally beaten by my desire to see as little as possible of Steven cunting Taylor in our shirt.

Obertan couldn't be much worse than Gouffran has been for the last 6 or 7 months, in fairness.

Worra finish

Patsy Pardew strikes again please someone do a photoshop of "Patsy Pardew" in Bianca from Eastenders garb.

Regardless of Yaya's form, he'll net at least once against us and generally have a blinder. Just like Gerrard always does.

Opening day always throws up some surprises, as proven by my two correct selections!

Had a small something on Arsenal -1 which is looking pretty dece so far. Had no joy on the Championship yesterday. Had Bournemouth, Sheff Wed and Blackpool (bastards) treble which was 110/1

Swansea could struggle I reckon, even with Bony. Monk is unproven and I don't think they're any stronger than last season.
