We'll lose. Well.....I certainly don't think we'll win.
Would love a draw but it'll be 2-1 to them.

He'll get loads of grief from this, which is harsh, but he shouldnt have picked him up like that. That stamp really riled him up and i was panicking he'd be out for the derby. Been well behaved for a while now, but one silly thing could undo all that. Still love the guy though!
To be honest, I don't think either of our teams have changed much over the summer (quality-wise) and we'll both probably finish 9th-12th. Can't see the derby going well for us though.
Could we insert a Spanish style buy-back clause with Forster?
Also, wouldn't be surprised if our striking shortlist looked like this:
PLAN A: Sign nobody
PLAN B: Still sign nobody
PLAN C: Oh ok then, Erdinc
PLAN D: Oh shiiiit, Derdiyok?
Nah. Think noises in the media and generally a rather poor window have to take the blame for that.
I know generally they think we'll struggle (which we won't) but to actually be ahead of Norwich, QPR, Swansea and Blackburn can't be right.
Had to do loads of changes lately, so many injuries and Spurs players
GK: Given, Westwood
DEF: Vidic, Kompany, Huth, A Cole, S Taylor
MID: Downing, Cabaye, Ramsey, Ben Arfa, Yaya Toure
FOR: Van Persie, Fletcher, D Graham
Its funny that outsiders think losing Nolan will be fatal for us. So many are tipping us to struggle and I'm gobsmacked by that. Then again, these are probably the same people that think Barton plays in the centre now.
Mentioned it in the other thread, but getting Bendtner is a no-brainer. He's a quality, quality player and I bet his ego would love to be #9 at Newcastle United.
Pleasantly surprised that we've managed to shift him, I wouldn't even class this as a sale because that implies he played for us. 7th choice striker at best.
Bye.
