Class post, Dave. Although, if we pull off one or two Cisse-level signings in the January window, I'd obviously come back and disagree. Not sure.

3-1 home win. Cisse with the opener, Steven Taylor to make it two, Holman to pull one back and then Cisse to clinch it.

Ballymena Utd, Donegal Celtic, Portadown £1.50 pays £10.63 Torres 2-1 £1 pays £41 Hazard FGS £3 (free bet) pays £30 Also got a whopping 165/1 for all the 3pm Championship teams to score tomorrow. Do it. With a quid.

Is Eden Hazard starting tonight for Chelsea? Sometimes things like the Super Cup, Charity Shield etc have teams released earlier...

Gosling brace @ 40/1 £2.50 R.Taylor brace @ 25/1 £2.50 Marveaux in the first 10 mins @ 16/1 £2.50 NUFC -2 @ 3/1 £2.50 Coloccini FGS @ 25/1 £3.00 (free bet)

Can we ban you please. Oh, here's the alright on the night brigade again.

Those people who aren't flushed with spare cash which during these tough economic conditions is quite a few. Yeah, I are one of those people.

The window hasn't closed yet you fucking nugget man.

Would like to see the following side: Harper Ryan Taylor Coloccini Williamson Ferguson Gutierrez Bigirimana Vuckic Marveaux Ba Amalfitano (but it will be Obershite)

I reckon Dembele.

He'll probably turn up to the first training session wearing a string of onions around his neck and a stripey top and beret combo.

Class quote from the Pardy Man that, like.

I bet he tossed a coin between that and 'Shola Ameobi not afraid of new signings'

Cisse, Ba, Shola and Rhodes (with HBA, Obertan, Vuckic and Sammy as 'support' options, and Campbell as the prodigal youth) would be a good pool of strikers to go into the season with, imo.

I reckon a frustrating yet comfortable 1-0, not too dissimilar to the Zulte Waregem home game. Goal to come from Marveaux after an hour.

Was Paul Mooney wearing a black-and-white striped tie last night? He isn't a weatherman, marra. He's a weatherMAG! FTM 9-1

Blackpool, Brighton, Everton, Charlton - £1.50 pays £24.80 Got 5 games with BTS where £1 returns roughly £17.50 Ben Arfa FGS, 2-1 NUFC @ 130/1 - 50p Steven Taylor FGS @ 33/1 - £1 NUFC to win @ 6/1 (great price!) - £2

My dad told me this afternoon that O'Neill said something about Fletcher not being as tall as he thought despite having just spent a cool £14m on him he was taking the piss... right?

Aye, but he gave the softest penalty I have ever seen given against us when we won 4-3 at Stamford Bridge in the League Cup.

Imagine if the 1000th goal was Simpson's, a cross deflected in or something.

Twente got their arses handed to them in their Europa League tie at Bursaspor last night anarl.

One of the threads about our game today. First poster: "Is it Epstein, their young right-back? He's having a fucking mare." Second poster: "No, Epstein is the guy who scores for the Greeks. The lad playing right-back is James Perch and he's having a mare." Great footballing knowledge.
