  1. Finished on a whopping 61 points considering I had 5 players who scored 0 between them (4 of them got 0 minutes).
  2. Superb player. Feel very lucky to have had him at NUFC. Wish we had an owner who was in the business of keeping the likes of Cabaye. All the best dreamboat.
  3. Welcome to the madness son. Hattrick on Saturday please
  4. A couple of them arguing that the sale of Grenier would help them keep 3 or 4 other players (extend their contracts?), rather than keep Grenier and have to replace the 3 or 4 whose contracts are running out. They're not laughing our bid off for what it's worth.
  5. I think the objective is just to do as well as we can within our financial means. There's not much more to it than that IMO. If we can get the right deals for players we know we'll try and do them. I meant whether or not he's thinking of selling up, moving it up a gear, or just happy with the status quo. We can pretty much conclude that it's the latter, but the cunt loves a surprise.
  6. No two ways about it. This is war. Revenge must be had, and with a big scoreline to boot. The inbred spackems need reminding of who they are. The personnel won't matter (Vaughan scored ffs). Need players like Debuchy, Tiote and Sissoko to play with that edge and stick it to these fuckers. 3-0 to the mags - goals from Debuchy, Sammy and HBA.
  7. He obviously hates it. Face says he wants to be back here. Hope he's getting on the phone to cancel the move.
  8. The trouble is trying to assess what Ashley's motives (and plans) are with regards to the club in the foreseeable future. We can't really be certain that he won't shell out the required amount to bring this fella in. His previous moments of madness when he sanctioned transfers for Cisse and Coloccini make me want to believe that this can be possible. It's the hope that kills you
  9. Would like to see him and Ben Arfa in the same side every single time. Anita's qualities are tailor made for players like Ben Arfa giving him that extra bit of time and space on the ball. In a weird sense, they should form a "double act" around the pitch where they stay close to each other so that the dutchman can feed the frenchman, and allow the magic to happen. In a rigid midfield system, a player like Ben Arfa has two options: run to the by-line and cross, or take on the entire team and try to score a wondergoal. Obviously that's counter productive most of the time. HBA is not JUST a luxury flair player. He's a damn fine footballer with great technique, quick feet and a burst of pace. If we can optimise the use of this skillset, we'd do a lot better in attack. A player like Anita greatly enhances the chances of that happening. I imagine little Vurn following fatboy around giving him possession, and sticking close by for those quick little interchanges that can create an opening of sort. Not rocket science.
  10. How has he played for them already ffs Played AND scored m8
  11. The players, fans and owners of PSG can all fuck off.
  12. 42 with Terry, Eriksen, Aguero and Chiriches to play. 5 players didn't play a single minute including 2 of my subs

    Frivolous appeals, extra game bans Fuck this fucking nanny state sport. It's running on empty now. Nothing but a buzzing beeping "brand".

    Loïc Remy

    What a sad state of affairs football has become. Utterly wank decision. A soft altercation incurring the same punishment as a leg breaking tackle? Fuck off.
  15. So no one's paid any mind to the last couple of lines from that Starforth article? Says Remy has rejected a permanent transfer? First I've heard of this.
  16. What's that based on? The moment we finally gave him a loan he jumped at the chance and played most games for Blackpool. I agree. There's no reason to fault Gosling's attitude. He's tried his best and he's taken the opportunity to perform well at Blackpool. It looks like his injuries have robbed him of that bit of pace that's needed at the very top level. Having said that, I wouldn't mind another look at Gosling, see if he's improved with getting playing time. Unlike our other CMs, he really attacks the box. I don't think he's anything special but I agree with this. Pointless giving him cameos and rare starts when he's been on the bench for ages. The time to do that is now, having had significant minutes in a relatively competitive league.
  17. Anything below 25m isn't good business IMO. A sale of this nature once in a while is what funds our transfers. Have to hold out for the maximum otherwise we'd be fucked.
