Super Duper Branko Strupar

They can do as well as they like as long as they sell on as soon as! Still not happy having them here, will never feel confident as long as they are in charge. Fuck the 'success', its not their doing. Out Out Out

Could do with that tackle on Lee Cattermole/Michael Owen/Darren Bent. Not that I condone deliberately injuring other players of course. Except the first two. He could nail cattermole....then his action hero line could be... "cheik mate" If it's not already I'd be disappointed

No we need a striker as well If we get Keane i hope to high hell Best will go FYP

Aye, Nolans club captain ffs. He'll start most games.

Aye, definitely unchanged. It'll be a good line up to soak up their pressure and hit them with some pace. if we can put some pressure on their back 4 for periods i can see us scoring and hopefully working well enough as a unit to tame their attack. probably 1-1 but I'm hoping we schneak a 1-2 in the second half and hold on to it

Just watched MOTD2. Fucking Robbie Savage. I listened to the game on 5 live last week and he was going on about how shit we were, how we needed 10 new players before the start of he season and we'd go down blah blah blah. Then he sits there and says 'they may still go down'. Dick

Not played a game for England since we signed him. He did I think. I seem to remember him starting one game up front alongside Owen (the last time I remember him actually playing for England or up front) and he wore the number 9 shirt I think it was when he had just signed mind. Can't remember who it was against. Decent forward line on CM 01/02

Aye but where's the fun in that?

The kind of rubbish I'd expect from you. If City had been able to convert more of their draws to wins (which they should have given their team) and if Liverpool hadn't drastically under performed then both of those teams would have been above them. And in the final few games Villa rally tailed off and 4th was more there to lose than to gain. Don't get me wrong, they did well, 70 points is probably going to get you 4th alot of seasons, they had some impressive players. But other teams should have been more of a challenge.

Spurs were lucky to finish 4th? I think so. The fact Liverpool and City under performed and Villa tailed off was lucky for them. It won't happen this year. Just want to clarify, mostly for King Dawson, every Spurs fan I've met are thoroughly good lads, I'm just bitter you're so much better than us in such a short period of time.

I'm glad about this. Most of our players couldn't hack playing the Villa game, an away trip to these lot then Wolves away this early on. Nolan would die. I wouldn't mind seeing a totally different 11 to be honest. If we have the numbers.

F**k Spurs. Hate the C**ts. I hope they crash and burn and scrotum face gets the jail time he deserves! Top 4 my Arse, they only did it last season out of luck. Liverpool and City were gash and so Spurs snuck it, and only because Villa slipped up in the final stages of the season. Gallas will now inevitably talk as much rubbish as the next Spurs player.

You not seen the goals mush? Aye aye, just missed MOTD on Saturday and didn't see the Midge Ure game

Anyone know what time MOTD2 gets on to iPlayer?

I even hate that bitch when she's blowing smoke up our arse!

Imagine them lasses in Toon shirts It'll be more like that picture of that rank mess in the pig and whistle with a toon shirt on and that horror behind her wearing her Berg-hoos.

Fucking love Nolan like!

I think he's off. Off where? Dunno. I can see us flogging him with Tiote coming in. That wouldn't make any sense at all! So you're probably rght

Anyone know any 'geeza's' in town that do a bit of request work? I've got a few grand I've saved up that would be well spent on setting up Nolans 'accident'

Been away 2 weeks and this thread is basically exactly the same

I think we desperately need a CM. we're going to be defending to the hilt at times this season, and CH looks to have some organisation going in the way of defending as a unit, but adding someone who will be a defensive link between the back 4 and those in front is crucial. Just another defensive body in there that has tackling, marking and defensive awareness to his game. We will be bombarded by better teams passoing around us. It'll be a damn sight harder against 5 than it would be against 4. Its a must!
