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

FYP

?

Aye, Liverpool and West Ham are my two most disliked clubs in the PL. A lot of scum in there

Until they're back in the championship when we'll pick them up on a free

It's far too much of a step up for him, it's going to be a disaster for both him and that w*** club. Fantastic watching! Michael Jackson Gif at the ready as soon as the season gets underway. If they start badly, they're going to be in the shit

The thing is, while it's funny, it's a fucking pisstake. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there looking for work and a complete idiot like him who obviously doesn't give a shit, is churning out rubbish every day

While I agree that Carroll is probably between 10-12m bracket (if you look at what he should be, not the English-born 50% extra pricetag) he is definitely a much better player than Danny Graham. From what I saw of Graham last season, and I watched quite a few of their games, he fluffed chance after chance. In most games where I saw Carroll play, he had a lot of shots blocked on the line and some good saves denying him. Carroll, if he worked on his right foot and got a hell of a lot of coaching to help his movement in the box, would be a very, very good player. Right now, he's just a good player

Tell that to Ranieri

Lee Dixon started out ok, was good on the tactical stuff and just kept quiet most of the time. Then, slowly but surely he became more and more boring and repetitive. If I had to take out three from the BBC, I'd for Mark "I crack appalling jokes" Lawrenson, Mark "I said Liverpool would win the league last season" Bright and Jonathan "Hypnodisc" Pearce

There's absolutely no way Rooney is better than Eto'o

Nope, I've honestly never thought he's selfish. I think he gets a really good balance between setting other players up and going alone. When he's around the halfway line and our half he generally tries to bring others into play, when he's in the opposing half, there's a good balance between him racing down the right and cutting in and also spreading the play/delivering crosses. The only frustrating thing is his consistency, but I don't mind that, his quality is good that of course he's never going to be as consistent as some other players

Not interested in him, just don't rate him as a team player at all
