If £10m went on strikers i would be more than happy, nevermind £30m Really? I'd be a bit disappointed tbh. It's imperative we upgrade the striking department if we're ever going to get back into a European challenge. There's no way the (majority of the) rest of the side aren't capable. I saw the football we played at times yesterday - it was sumptuous at various points, and not for the first time. We're three quality upgrades from being a seriously good outfit. CB, ST, ST, with the return of Hatem and there's every chance of a serious shot at sixth position next year. I just hope the mysterious second-season-syndrome doesn't settle in. I hope the guys in charge seriously do their research or it'll happen to us aswell. Instead of just a CB, I think we could honestly do with a Hughes-like player as cover for the back four. Not someone who'd have to be outstanding in every position but just a better option than playing others out of position. Worried to shit over what would happen if Enrique is out for any period of time. isn't that perch

point 3, because the league overall is kinda shite and they have gotten huge slices of luck over the season

breaking into the "elite club" bracket has proven to be impossible recently, when people mention the biggest clubs in the world its always the same names even if they're doing shite they'll always have the name which counts for a hell of a lot (and man city ain't one of them they offset the rep with money) we fall into the same bracket as everton villa and normally spurs, big clubs in england but there are bigger names around.

since mclaren left gibson did cut costs getting rid of older expensive wages players and got in cheap kids, didn't save them and should have sacked southgate jan feb time in prem, then when it seems southgate was getting it together and they were close to the top of champ he sacks him then and gambles everything on relocating scotland to boro which worked about as well as anyone expected. Lesson is while he's done a lot for that club he's not blessed with the gift of timing when it comes to sacking managers

hes one of the better lbs in the pl, but best no not if you ask me, on form i'd put baines as the best lb this season tbh as good as enriques been

'Doing a Newcastle' Not winning anything for a long time. Throwing away a significant title lead. Participating in a game that has lots of goals, bonus points if it ends up 4-3. Sacking a manager for little or no reason. Having a prick as an owner. Having impatient, deluded fans. Coming back from a number of goals down to draw. Generally shooting yourself in the foot at any given opportunity. Etc. selling your best striker and replacing him with past it journeyman more known for his stupid goal celebration.........

come on wheres the further shit on grey

tbh you could apply it to almost any insane scenario these days

wtf

i know there was some iffy defending for our comeback last week but good grief this "defending" is an utter joke

oh i have to listen to his new show monday now

they call that defending?

what a hit by dorrans

oh dear richard http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/02/12/sexism-row-pundit-richard-keys-shock-racist-slur-on-black-player-115875-22919246/

fair dues to sporting

and there it is

Thought Samba was there MoM, I'd swap him for Williamson in a heartbeat. hes one of the best cbs in the league if you ask me, if arsene had any sense he'd go for him

hopefully ben arfa and shola can provide a bit of spark towards the end....hopefully it's not really needed. shola in a face mask should provide all the spark needed

stop worrying about the future and focus on the now people

does that count as a fixture list

wow just came in and barcelona losing

lovely goal 2-1 spurs
