I'd be delighted if Kuyt was dropped. As I've said before, technically he looks dopey as owt but the work he puts in for the team can not be underestimated. He is vital for them.

See. You literally turn to mush in the presence of Tiote.

I had a quick look at the timings of the group matches and they were all over the place. 2 games consecutively, then no games the next day?

Thought that too when I saw the title. How disappointing.

Buy of the decade.

Just noticed this, had exactly the same Mushy peas I hope. I'll give you that one, works fine with fish and chips. But if we're talking more broadly, I'm not a massive fan of mushy peas.

"Like a new signing" etc etc... aka. Nolan's replacement. Funnily enough the Scouse Mackem at work said he had a nack of 'being in the right place at the right time' and I thought of Nolan . He didn't have much else positive to say about him though other than that they should never have lost him for free. Can't really add much more to that.

From what I've seen of Izaguirre, downgrade.

The one about not deserving to win? Yeah, just seemed a bit of an odd comment.

What does he mean about that top teams comment? Bizarre.

Gave a 5 year contract to Xisco so why not Nolan? Did I hear that right? :lol:

How so? Can't hear the interview here in Holland Dave is just being cruel. Just the way he said "Harps' history".

Tiote didn't come from the French league.

Yes, people were really thinking "who's Ben Arfa?"

A successful success.

Shola had a good year. This is brilliant.

He mentioned Barcelona. PARDEW COMPARES NEWCASTLE TO BARCA, SHOLA THE NEW VILLA.

£7m is a bizarre figure when you consider the sums that are knocking about. Did he only have a year left on his contract? Would've thought Arsenal would get at least double figures for him, particularly off the lottery winners.

Wait... he actually gave a shout out to NO?

You need an n-o reference like "Shout out to Lewando's Lush Lasses thread!!!" ....maybe?

Cole was mediocre last year, Baines was on a different level. I'm not saying the latter is the better player overall but last season there was no contest. Interesting to see how they fare this year and whether Baines can maintain his level of performance and whether Cole will improve his.

He isn't one of the top three left backs in London. Bit far Cole Assou-Ekotto Salcido A damning indictment of Herita Ilunga's unrivalled ability.

What happened with Boateng, i.e. why wasn't he given much of a chance? Clichy's hardly an upgrade on Kolarov. Just a very confusing move.

You mustn't watch much of Arsenal then. He's a liability.

Baines and Enrique were better left backs overall last year.
