Unleash the Perch.

Alright Arteta, just get up. Play on. You've made your point, now get up.

Pele Miller! Megs!

Wenger has lost his way at Arsenal but is still a quality manager. Would love to see him move into the England job.

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/luis-suarez-i-m-sorry Only a few months late ...and all it took was the condemnation of the entire football world and media. Such a big fella.

What the fuck has happened to our defending? Did our changing room have a carbon monoxide leak or something?

I fancy Wenger, personally. - Knows the English game - Track record in developing young talent - No stranger to a trophy - Definitely in need of a new challenge Also can't see Arsenal holding the FA to ransom when it comes to buying out his contract. Would be a good move for all involved.

Suprisingly Arsenal's strikeforce looks the weakest out of that list tbh. agreed.. let's just hope Oba stays we're he is Good lord. Fortunately for kingdawson he'll have the 3rd best "Arsenal" striker listed there leading the way for Spurs against us.

I distinctly remember a similar thread about us having an unrivalled strike force going into our relegation season. Martins, Owen, Viduka.... who could compete with that?! Hindsight. Edit - This is the one I'm thinking of: http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,42337.0.html Kingdawson

Make a good point, having said that i just worry about the midfield battle...... what ever way you want to slice it; Guthrie and Perch are most likely going to get dominated by Parker and Modric...... Quite frankly that worries me, if Tiote and Cabaye was available i would actually be confident of winning. I refuse to take that as a given. Parker and Guthrie are on par. While Modric is obviously better than Perch, Modric seldom causes us any problems and Perch is essentially a defender. He may well neutralise any threat Modric does pose. Even if not, it probably won't make much difference. Both sides rely heavily on their wing play. That's where the real battle will be.

Jesus Christ, anyone would think we're playing Barcelona. I doubt there are many teams in the league that would look at playing us as an easy game. It will be close, we'll be up for it, and will probably be playing very tight at the back. We're extremely good on the counter with plenty of pace and good at creating chances. Could easily go either way but we won't get a thumping. I still fancies us to win it 1-2.

He's got Howay 5-0 on forty-eight 5 1/4 inch disks.

Cisse, Barton, Taarabt... I bet the QPR changing room is a right laugh.

Even with the lack of cover, I'm glad we stuck to our guns on this. Not even sure why we were in for him. A short centre back would be brutally gang raped on a weekly basis in the premier league.

The psychology of racism is pretty straight forward. It tends to occur amongst a certain socio-economic class. Basically, the people who have fuck all to be proud of look for ways in which they can consider themselves to be better than someone else. This is why you get thick-as-pig-shit chavs spouting off about darkies and gays. Gives them someone to look down on, even if it's for bullshit reasons. It allows them to not feel like the bottom rung of the ladder. So with the economic downturn, we're probably going to see more of that mindset. Basically, it's the fault of the Tories.

Sorry, wrong window.

I can't wait to get back at that sweet vag.

More inclined to think this, at 23 he is likely to be in the first team/reserve pool. If we kept him longer it's so Pardew gets a better look. still strange we wouldn't play him. Time will tell. I heard he's caught Demba's exploding knees from a dirty towel in the changing room.

I'm just a realist. I'll reserve full judgement until he's played but you're all getting carried away before a ball has been kicked. Chances are he has no technique and is incredibly disloyal.

Aye, against other 3rd world teams, no doubt.

It's a fair comparison. Defensively there's not much between the Bundesliga and the Ryman South. Goals flying in left and right in the Bundesliga.

yeah, has nothing on Ben Arfa or Luque. Seriously, they're mostly soft goals against shite opposition. No evidence he can do the business on a cold night at the Britannia. Its not like the club scouted him through youtube, apparently they've monitored him for 2 years. Apparently so. But lets face it, he's never played in anything close to the Premier League. We need to be smarter about this. Should have taken him on trial first like with Jason Prior, or at least a loan with a view to a permanent move if he cuts it. How many clubs have been burned by buying players with good scoring records in foreign leagues? It's a lot of money to spunk away on Mateja Kezman II.

Youtube clips seem pretty fucking boring to me. Doesn't look any better than what we already have, tbh.

Typical African player, all athleticism and no technique. Does this need a safety wink?
