Sounds like you made a good account of yourself

Man, a new level of awesome. What a narrative arc

Luke Edwards needs to find himself another job if he thinks Llorente's going to Sunderland

I think the major problem on this one was Davide's girlfriend and Pardew's tongue

Not even slightly concerned about Ba's form in the upcoming season. Think we'll see him re-energised and lethal again. The lad's a really natural striker of the ball with good movement and excellent technique. His form in the latter part of last season was probably his worst form over the past few years, it's meaningless

Llorente and Doumbia then. Bless them. Can't wait to see who they actually sign You know it's going to be Samaras and Hutton. Once Marty gets the cheque book out and uses his Irish charm, they're as good as signed

Steal one of their NETD mugs and scribble NESC on it for North East Shittest Cats - Hahahah

Class as always

Cannot fucking wait until the new season. This summer's been/will continue to be packed with sport but the only things I really got into were the French Open/Wimbledon. Olympics will be quality for a few events but man, need some football back in my life

I didn't mean that his attitude would let him down, there are just a lot of players who don't get to the level they should. It's pretty obvious, in my opinion, that he's the most talented of the group. I really hope he has a great season

I reckon Sammy has the most potential but could easily not realise it. Want to see more of Abeid because I think he looks solid in most aspects of his game. Ferguson has definitely done the best so far but if he can't stay clear of injuries he doesn't have a chance

What I like about Sammy is, he does the unexpected. He's definitely got a lot of creativity up his sleeve and if he can get confidence, a lot of run outs and get a few performances in, I really think this could be a big breakthrough season for him.

Couple more signings like Collins and Warnock and we might as well give up the NETD title for this coming season. Marty's lit the touchpaper.

Had been refreshing a couple of times per hour for the last like 8 hours. Went on Toontastic, RTG and Nufc-Forum... a harrowing experience

Aye, he just takes complete control over a game. So few players can boss it like he does

Class from tiote

Doesn't count as a shot on goal but might as well be? What the fuck is that

Marv has playmaker written all over him

Delighted he's no longer in the PL, a mixture of one of the ugliest footballers with one of the ugliest styles of play.

Anthony Koura, supposedly

I understand that they'd be looking to make as much money as possible and not want to take a pay cut but I honestly believe that were I in their shoes and this offer was on the table, I'd go to Spurs. It's obviously impossible to tell but from my perspective, I absolutely love playing sport and am competitive, the idea of sitting on a bench just seems more mad to me than losing out on a lot of money. Can't wait for footballer's salaries to start dipping

Same here - if they were being honest, nobody would do this in their own professional lives, yet seem to expect footballers to take paycuts. I think the context is slightly different. If a normal person takes a pay cut, it will have a massive impact on how they live their lives. If a footballer goes from earning 9 mill to 6 mill, I think they can probably take the hit and many would if it meant first team football/living in London over Manchester, etc...

Then Allen should be 60m

He'd still be on 6 mill and would be a guaranteed starter in a very good team. Anyway, it's good news for us if this doesn't go through. I enjoyed Ade when he was on the BBC for the coverage of the world cup but he seems like an absolute cock with some of his antics on the pitch
