Pilko

Despite all the hype surrounding Vuckic, he's shown very little. He's injury-prone and other than the WBA home game where he did well, he's done absolutely nowt of any promise in competitive matches for NUFC. A few nice goals in pre-season apart, what else have we seen from him? Bigirimana has been in our shirt for five minutes, way too early to say he's 'ahead' of Gosling (able to make 15-20 or so appearances in the season), and Abeid has had two games in our colours where he looked solid yet unspectacular. Gosling hasn't really set the world on fire, but name me one player who has after the length of time out due to injury he has had. I know Ben Arfa might be a tempting example, but he took ages to get up to speed and get in the team (into the weakest part of the team where R.Taylor and Obertan were starting) compared to the form we had in CM - Cabaye, Tiote, Guthrie and even Perch. He'll come good, imo. He had a season to be dipped into the squad and make some sporadic contributions and get his full level of fitness back. I think we'll see him start to fulfil his promise over the coming season, although time will tell.

also Ferguson.

Recorded the Premier League Years and watching it now. Despite them mentioning our great start, they showed about 10 seconds of footage (Ryan Taylor, Over the Wall) and that's been it - and we're well into fucking October now. Joke. EDIT: after over the wall, the next thing of us is Ba's hat-trick at Stoke on Halloween ridic

Gosling looked anything but hopeless today ffs. He's being written off far too early. I've got faith he will come good.

I've seen nothing of this guy and I'd rather we signed him than Carroll.

How good is Remy? I seem to remember Stoke almost signed him the other year.

Who the fuck are yee like, the commentator from the match?

This is someone not even playing in their favoured position anarl. Class tonight.

me > everyone else

Tavernier, Gosling, Sammy and Cisse were our stand-out players today, I thought.

Absolutely no way Krul would have conceded that. Elliot

Sammy has been absolutely class since he came on!

Leroy casually stereotyping an entire continent's style of play there.

Great improvisation from Cisse.

Shola's touch so far has been bloody dreadful.

Santon taking out the steward from behind Shola's touch there

Nice play from Cisse and Santon.

Good attempt by Sammy there.

Get in! ABEID

SHOLA TIME Obertan off, GTFI

Gosling had a good game there. Looks a lot more mobile.

I did wonder which freekick against England he meant

Bigi just did a class Tiote impression there. He even runs in a similar fashion ffs

Tavernier completely showing Simpson there how to perfectly measure a clipped ball up the line. That attempt at a catch from the Fener goalie :lol:

I don't like Pearce either, but weren't they 5-0 up when he did that?
