He's in the squad according to Daily Mail. And no, he's not overrated. sandro is underrated if anything, his injuries have slowed him down but he is an excellent player -
What a fucking mug. Can't wait for that club to hit the rail this season
-
He creates almost all of it himself and absolutely loves being in the news. Could see that translating but for a period he could be successful there. Just like for a period he managed it here

Would love it if Ben Arfa got a late check up and could play. If he could produce just a couple of moments theyd be really important as the first game of the season can often be sluggish and lack real tempo -
Class that we've got some really exciting youth coming through while the main team is performing so well. Must be inspiring knowing that if you work hard enough you might have a chance of being part of something special. Especially if you're born and bred here

Commendable to be honest, they stand to lose nothing. Either, their best players stay and they come straight back up or they eventually give in but get way over the odds for their players. Think they're doing it perfectly
-
Aye, it's pretty rare that an academy graduate comes through and always performs consistently. He deserves a lot of playing time as long as he can stay fit
-
Nah, because they're a bit slow
-
Such a fool, no place to be talking about that stuff. Obviously it's interesting for us but not exactly clever to put that out in the public domain
-
I actually think he's made an alright point there. Dzeko plays in a team which creates countless chances and he messes up opportunities all the time by being too slow. At least Fletcher has a good attitude and does a lot for the team. Dzeko can be selfish as fuck, slow and very hit-or-miss when it comes to striking the ball. They're both good in the air. I think Fletcher is a better player than he's given credit for (not 14m worth though) while Dzeko is frustrating as sometimes he looks excellent, can show very good technique, but often looks gash

I live in Edinburgh. Only thing that's stopped me going so far is work, family engagements and hospitalisation. What's your point, caller? Well, my point is that my work isn't flexible on hours and often I am not able to rota for two-three weeks in advance, meaning I don't know whether I'm available normally on weekends. Financially, the trips up from London are expensive (a lot more than from Edinburgh, I used to live in Edinburgh for five years as I've mentioned before) which makes it tough. My point is that sometimes there are people who would love to have season tickets but can't manage it. I'll see you there in a year or two's time
-
Not always as simple as that, especially if you often work on weekends/live in London

I know that injuries have massively curtailed his career but I view Huddlestone as having a bullet shot from range and good at hold-up/break-up play. I really don't think he has the link-up play, consistency, strength or technical ability of Yaya and never will. I hope he manages to stay fit for long periods this season as I've always liked him but he'll never be close to the complete player Yaya is -
Thought we'd managed to finally get over that train of thought, there's not even a debate to be had on it
-
Can't even remember that to be honest. Just remember going nuts on the vending machines and how neuter the coaching staff were. The canteen was filthy. Good times, have no idea if it's still going, hope so
-
gbandit, 1996 pretty much. Used to love wallsend sport centre TheGuv, once competed in the event they had at the ms of the two weeks and got beaten by an eight year old. Crippling
-
Was at wallsend sports centre when the fittest girl in my year told me we'd signed him. Doesn't get better than that
-
Would love to see him hit another 1000 pages. Here's to him, Nufc and 12/13 season. Get this one right and he'll be loved forever by some toon fans
-
Front 6? M'Vila Parker Sigurdsson Bale Van Der Vaart Adebayor Would be strong defensively and Bale would be fine. Don't know about Sigurdsson on the right, does he normally play wings? I always think of him as in behind the strikers, a bit further back than where they play Van der Vaart. I don't see who's controlling their passing tempo and spraying it about in that team though
-
There is no replacement for Modric. There are less than five people who can play in his position at his level and they're at bigger clubs on bigger wages. Will be interesting to see how Tottenham cope with him going

I lived there for five years, the Links will almost definitely show it. Apart from that there's a place called sportsters. You shouldn't have too many problems really. -
I don't particularly mind it and find some of your posts funny but thought you'd get bored after a while
-
Do you not get bored of this BottleDog, I'm sure there was a time when you posted properly

Good transfer for everyone
