Now Darlow has to think of not conceding a third.

 

this is what's coming once we sell Krul isn't it

Puma is utter garbage

Coutinho and Lukaku any day.

 

 

Although if you can I'd try and get an extra 500k for Sterling. Will probably get a lot more goals than Coutinho.

He probably will in the long run, but coming into the season, Coutinho is more rested and is in blistering form.

The commentator for Liverpool-Dortmund said both Khan and Chan for Emre Can so it's a lottery at this stage.

Pronounced "Djan" according to his wiki. Phonetically as it is written, the j is not silent.

I don't know what people expect from Pardew? Ignoring his off the pitch antics,  he hasn't actually done that bad a job really

 

11/12: 5th place out of nowhere

12/13: Europa League QFs with a thin squad picking up countless injuries

13/14: Top 10 finish last season while having his best player Cabaye sold and not replaced

 

But that doesn't go down well because the reality of NUFC not having the resources to compete is so depressing.

 

If you want to blame someone, blame Ashley for not freeing up more funds. Blame Kinnear for being useless. Blame the marketing team for not being able to secure more lucrative sponsorships to compete with the big boys.

Pardew, while not perfect, has done what is expected of him in my eyes

^ Disagree. His debut vs. Lyon in CL 2009 was very impressive and he was one of the very few players that actually played well under Hodgson and Dalglish for Liverpool.

Did his ACL 2 years ago and never looked the same player. Pretty much like Lucas. ACL is a nasty nasty thing.

Thousands of players have great debuts and go on to become nothing players. He;s shit. End of story.

Pardew out

Pardew can go fuck himself. Ben Arfa is doing everything he can to "rebel" and I applaud him for acting up against the fraudster twat.

Exactly, Dembele is another one. Seemingly signed because they had success with a different guy with exactly the same name. 

Also named Moussa? Wow, what are the odds. Still, my point stands 

What's Dembele doing there?

About his level tbh. Supremely over-rated player.

That's Poyet isn't it?

That black bib was so f***ing needless.  I hate it.

The only purpose it serves that I can think of is that it is somewhat an arrow pointing at the hideous sponsor.

I can't stand flab belliot. Such a punchable face.

f***ing get Van Dijk in please!! Would fit in with our recent Dutch splurge. Krul, Janmaat, Anita, De Jong and Van Dijk! Brilliant!

Pre-season is pre-season and the results mean absolutely nothing. Shouldn't change your opinion one way or the other.

Of course that is true in the grand scheme of things. But watching us lump it forward to Williamson is a telling sign that nothing is going to change come competitive football time.

Have had ZERO interest in our pre-season so far apart from catching up a few post-match pages. Fuck off Alan fucking Pardew. And fuck all the deluded fans who reckon anything will be different to last season (or the one before) just because we've signed a few players. Reading that we're still hoying leather at Willo's forehead for our FK routines almost makes me want to throw up. Pardew is a clueless cretin, and this has gone beyond a joke now.

I think £11m is about right for him.

20 for Lovren!

So online shops are starting to sell our home kit and we still persist in being the only PL club yet to officially unveil it?

Building up the excitement leading up to the mega release extravaganza a week before we play the championssssss. I'll probably shit the bed the morning of the release. Can't wait!

 

Long sleeve

Fuck me that is ghastly!!!!

Well he did nothing today to change my mind about him.  Poor in the air, not particularly quick, gives the ball away, poor positioning and can't read the game to save his life.

Steaming pile of bollocks

Right I'm going to put an end to this. Nice poacher goal for Riviere, now can everyone stop fooyunging about.

Well well well look what the cat dragged in! Where you been man? Always sunny side up when you're here.

Back to Riviere, he made a dozen clever runs and showed he has a free range of passing. I was white impressed.

20M for Lovren is pure insanity, and is great business on behalf of Southampton.

That is very handsome indeed.
