It's ok we weren't twats about it and weren't falling over ourselves to point it out

He's getting on a bit goes against our youth policy but he's feisty and not afraid to get stuck in. Player manager?

Yeah if only for the fact that there seems to be some genuine enthusiasm.

At this rate it may have to be "If Sammy misses we're on the pitch"

Shola had it, Sammy doesn't, Tomi is fucked.

Shola could in the early days. Hopefully this particular gene doesn't develop in Sammy's case. The Lackus Sprintus gene is known to skip a generation, so Sammy should be fine.

Alan "Derek says you can't take set pieces" Pardew Project.

Partnership with the Ameobi bros. this season v.s the mackems. The groan around the ground at their place as they announce not one but two Ameobi's in the starting 11 would be worth it alone.

Can't wait for another Ameobi making the Mackems cry for the next ten years.

Aye Sammy "Just like a new signing" Ameobi.

Hurrah.

SAMMY

To be fair Joey has played right into their hands and made it very easy for them. Talk about giving them enough rope, given his history and vocal opinions the papers will be queuing up to have a pop at him while the board escape blame free.

Everton less likely they couldn't afford the phone call to enquirer about him.

If he goes to a top six club it shows how foolish the club have been.

Unless we're bottom three he'll be here at Christmas.

No brainer for someone out there, decent player on a free. Can't see someone not coming in for him, if Steve Bruce had more sense than chips he'd be trying to get him straight away. It stick's one to us, Joey may just be in the mood to spite us by joining them. Having said that who can afford to dabble in the free transfer market, probably the only club that could afford a free transfer will be spurs when Modric goes.

If that's true then we have bigger problems than how much integrity Pardew has because when he walks all that will happen is we'll get another puppet installed.

Literally just turned on me laptop and getting up to speed, FFS why does this shit always happen to us. Need some serious caliber bodies in quick or it's going to be a long long season.

You seem to forget that these free players are very expensive, young man. Aye we'll need to sell Enrique just to get in a couple of free's if we're lucky.

Pardew said anything yet?

Not surprised it was 14-0, if they had to play with two players less. Fair one.

I heard Walcott was a doubt as well. Yeah pretty sure Walcott is out, can't remember where I read it though.

Only thing we can hope is that this pre-season has convinced the board that they need to invest further to strengthen the squad.
