Have a feeling his next deal may be longer than the five year one we gave him, only this time it will be at one of her majesty's finest (or worst hopefully)

Had Cabaye (4-1) and Cisse (7-5) anytime goal scorers. Us DNB (4-5) Cisse to score and us to win too, last of my paddypower account. Tidy little £15 profit means I don't have to deposit for tomorrow night

This is how we should line up tomorrow night: Krul Debuchy MYM Colo Santon Sissoko Cabaye Anita Gouffran Marveaux Cisse Subs: Elliot Saylor Jonas Haidara Obertan Perch Shola Can't wait to hammer those bastards, just a shame we can't play them on the last day of the season at their place to return the sentiments of 09.

Getting Colo to simmer the fuck down and carry on being the beast that he is would be our biggest achievement now I reckon and would probably have me mopping up copious amounts of man juice if it can be done. If not then yeah Debuchy or Mbiwa.

Carlton Cole

A mate of mine living out in Buenos Aires says that the Argentinian media reckon he's had an affair with a girl over here and got her pregnant which is why his wife has moved back out there. Don't know whether this is just more speculation or if there's any element of truth in it, if their media is anything like the British then I wouldn't put it past them making shit up just to sell papers.

I think that HBA, whilst obviously a massive player for us when he's on form and playing at his best is still a luxury item in a way and whilst it can be argued that the fear factor that he provides us with is irreplaceable I still feel as though there are a number of players that would have to be on the team sheet before him because of their importance to the shape and solidity of the team, basically we don't look the same with them missing. So, 1. Colo (Obviously) 2. Krul (If he's out against Everton we'll look a lot more shaky at the back) 3. Jonas (Completely dependable and always an outlet) 4. Tiote (Anchors the midfield and allows Cabaye etc to play with more freedom) 5. Cabaye (When Tiote is behind him can really start influencing the game) 6. Cisse (Needs to be playing up top on his own a la last season but gives the team direction and purpose) 7. Saylor (Better than Williamson and was part of the defence that was so good at the start of last season) 8. HBA (As stated at the top, amazing on his day but not essential) 9. Ba (Feels wrong putting him so low down but as far as the shape of the team goes more of a hindrance than a help so far this season) 10/11. Santon/Simpson/Raylor (All good on their day but aren't gonna win any awards)

7th would be about par given that we won't be as much of a surprise package as last year, the small squad along with the extra fixtures etc. Any higher and it should be considered a success. Hoping for another run of wins like last year at some point, if not then could easily slide into the mire of mid table.

danny fuckin simpson man

Would love to see Falcao up front for us next season, if only....if only...

I'd have Pavlyuchenko here in a heartbeat, he is a million times better than what we've got at the moment

Come on Falcao and porto win, £30 for me if it does

I'm not a fan, the maroon kit they had a few years back was better as far as special commemorative kits go.

Dorrans has been really poor this season considering how well he played in the Championship last year. He's been injured for a fair bit of the season though apparently, west brom fans rate him pretty highly too

Been back down home (near stoke) for the weekend to see the olds and there's loads of people walking round with them on. Got talking to a lad I used to go to school with and he said he was "dead excited when he saw it and even pre-ordered it". Just goes to show Stoke fans are clueless

I'm going to the west brom v liverpool game on the weekend with my baggies supportin uncle, anyone got any choice words for the long haired judas?

Personally I think even with all the money at their disposal it is a lot harder to build a team that plays successful attractive football, the likes of Barcelona and to some extent their red manc counterparts have built their teams over years so the players there know how to play well together. City have got the players but they just haven't clicked yet, so in that respect grinding out results in the short term to achieve success is their most realistic option.

Swansea, Notts Forest and Norwich for me. Definitely not Leeds, got too many Leeds supportin mates and I love seein them suffer.

that's class.

he's probably about the same build as nolan and its pretty much taken as gospel that he's a fatty

...and we're linked with him according to the bbc gossip column - we'd have a team full of fat knackers. him plus campbell, nolan and kuqi it might as well be kfc @ st james' park next season.

Barcelona vs Man Utd Real Madrid vs Arsenal Valencia vs Man City Villareal vs Chelsea Atheltic Bilbao vs Tottenham Espanyol vs Liverpool Sevilla vs Bolton Atletico Madrid vs Sunderland Real Sociedad vs Newcastle Mallorca vs Everton Getafe vs Fulham Levante vs Stoke Deportivo vs Aston Villa Racing vs Blackburn Osasuna vs Blackpool Sporting Gijon vs West Brom Real Zaragoza vs West Ham Hercules vs Birmingham Almeria vs Wolves Malaga vs Wigan EPL 11-9 La Liga Although I couldn't think of anything funnier than sending the likes of Malaga and Mallorca to Wigan/Blackburn/Stoke

Sol Campbell was sat outside Starbucks in Jesmond at about half 2 yesterday, all on his own he was..

My first was wimbledon at home in 1998 iirc, big duncan ferguson scored twice and we won 3-1. My grandad took me for my 10th birthday
