I don't. You wouldn't though, you lap up every bit of shit the club peddles.

Derek Wright planted an exploding foetus in his right knee whilst he was sleeping I heard.

QPR and Chelsea are the biggest rip-off merchants in London with tickets.

Whatever people think about their signings so far, they haven't replaced their two best performers (Ki and Boreeyneey) and are looking very light up front.

Got to say, the opposition in both games was far better than I was expecting. Both teams passed the ball better than us, but were let down by poor finishing and poor goalkeeping. You what? Sydney looked like a frigging Sunday morning team.

As much as it pains me to say it, the captain of the current bunch should probably be Tiote.

Pardew can turn a Glade Plugin into the stench of an old man dropping his bait over a period of a few months.

van Aanholt was decent for us but he's done nowt at all for about 4 or 5 years, he could have stagnated.

Aye, people forget that Shola played and he was 'rested' for the Man City away game where Ben Arfa was done by De Jong.

What did he do that for? It's a long 6 weeks holidays bless him.

Pardew said he wasn't going to use that combo again, but if we palm MYM off and don't replace him we're only one injury, suspension or Lorenzian wet dream away from seeing it again.

Shame that, seemed like a canny lad and now he's gonna be a mackem.

"Systems are for school-teachers in professional football. What I am big on is great players working their socks off. The game happens at such pace that it's all about intuition; if you have that you do not need much more." Guess who?

I seem to remember the last time we tried this, Steven Taylor was the CB who was carrying the ball out of defence. No wonder it didn't fucking work.

We tried this away at Stoke under Pardew (Sol Campbell brought in to help combat their 'strenf and fret') and got walloped 4-0. What would start off as a 3-5-2 would also probably turn into a 6-3-1 anarl. It just gives him the excuse to be even more negative.

Fucking hell, I know it's been a very heavy and tough week on here but some of you really need to get a grip like.

He shouldn't have stolen the christmas club money then should he

This thread is a bit like the Mitchell and Webb sketch with the ailing, senile Sherlock Holmes. Puns: a once glorious institution of wit, sadly reduced to this.

Doubt this has legs. If it does, it'll be the usual 'we spied some value' and he'll be a utility purple.

I dont get the Gouffran hate on here. I dont mind him there. Its the fact Sissoko is on the other wing that shits me off. Gouffran would be more effective if he didn't start every sodding match. I remember at the Cardiff cup debacle in January he looked absolutely shagged after about fifteen minutes, and he played from the start almost every match from then to the end of the season. He provides fuck all threat from the wing though, that said. Sissoko is a whole other story, but he provides more than Gouffran does from the wing.

Well, aye. No matter how much you think Sammy is shit, he can't have been much worse than Gouffran or Gutierrez have been on the wing for a good three-quarters of their respective NUFC careers.

Sammy was one of the only ones who looked remotely good when he made fleeting appearances in that dreadful run at the end of last season. Was our best player in the latest mackem defeat before he was hooked at half-time. That said, Aarons actually looks decent based upon this game and the bits I've seen of him from the reserves and that.

I think we will get another striker, but it'll not be the 'marquee' signing that we need.

Same here. Now that Shola is gone, Steven fucking Taylor is the first player I want to see out the door. Prick. I'm aware that we have even more useless squad members such as Obertan, Elliot etc but Taylor won't ever shut the fuck up. I can't stand him.
