Fergie has been able to hold his own when he plays compared to some of the other youngsters who player for "bigger clubs." His attitude on the pitch is one of a first-class professional and he always plays to the best of his ability. You do see he has some shaky moments when he's on the pitch for a significant amount of time, but for his age he has learnt very well. I would love to see him as a bench regular this season.

Fortunately not.

I've seen quite a few of you guys slating the club for selling off and unsettling some of our players but if this is the reason why, bring it on. The club has a plan this time around and I think we will all be better for it come the start of the season against Arsenal. NUFC, you don't fail to disappoint.

Already dropped to 1/2

Interesting hashtag Joey has included there.

According to SSN, Phil Jones has finally signed a five-year contract with Manchester United.

Simon Grayson, make it happen!

Sky Sports sources understand Phil Jones is not heading for Anfield but is in fact having a medical ahead of signing a five-year deal with Manchester United. We'll bring you more details as we get them. Edit: Aaaahhh, 4 seconds late!

1st page. Clearly Jose is leaving and we are signing a lookalike to make it appear like nothing actually happened.

Looking forward to oldtype promoting Park over the summer.

Fuck off.

Smith to score

Those possession stats can't be right, can they? 83% - 17%

Brilliant stuff from Taylor.

LOVENNNNN!!!!!

Rather bring on Alan Smith (à la Shearer during his testimonial) to break his duck

Bloody brilliant that. I've been looking for something to put on my wall for quite awhile and I think I may have just found it. Framed 20" x 16" it is.

Big boost if Ben Arfa plays in this. I would be surprised if he wasn't hungry for some match time before the season ends so he may be able to give the side a bit of a lift. Ideally I would play him ahead of Tiote & Nolan as second striker while plonking whoever up top but he will most likely be on the bench so the hell with that. Draw: 0-0

Absolutely agree that Jonas was our best player today. He often had at two players closing down on him so he was right to start collecting set piece opportunities. Absolute shame that Barton was rubbish with his crosses. Pretty much eliminated any threat we had from the match.

Absolute farce of a match. From the Blackpool game onwards, it seems that our players have shut up shop and gone on holidays. I can't say I expect a win from our remaining games.

Another assist for Routledge with a Taarabt goal.
