no reason it shouldn't be cabaye and anita. Cabaye and Anita are too naturally static and diminutive for the role. Static my arse. You really do talk utter rubbish Ronaldo Didn't Cabaye cover most miles in the league on a good few weekends last year?

Depresses me to say it but the Norwich, Reading and Villa games are massive, we've had a horrendous run of fixtures but if we don't pick up points against these then i'll be seriously worried. Captain obvious I know

Thought he'd be getting more stick than he did at the game today tbf, only heard one little radgie kid shout anything and he got told to shut his face

He'll be like a new signing.

Sadly enough I think our squad is so small we can't really afford to send Sammy out on loan I'd like to see Campbell go out to see what he can do though.

Said HBA at first but starting to think it could be Nolan, no knowing what could have happened in our Championship season if he hadn't been there.

Bit about the boxing day fixtures is intradesting, never knew they took into account distance, really limits the amount of teams we can play especially with so many southern teams being in the league this season.

He looks like he's been on the drink all day, his eyes are all over the shop.

Ben Arfa for me, fuck knows how we got him so cheap. Others I could possibly see being replaced, not Benny though.

p.263

Dream scenario for his advisors probably is a move to QPR with the relegation clause they were apparently willing to put in, then off to Chelski or somewhere in the summer. Easy this agent business

First game I ever went to was with my dad was against West Brom, i'd never been that into football before that but Jason Roberts tore us a new hoop, remember thinking that he must be one of the best around

At the end of the day he is a professional footballer who apparently has a knee ready to explode and end his career, I can hardly blame him for wanting to maximise his earnings. He's been brilliant for us, especially for a free, but this was always going to happen and if now is the time for us to move on and away from his circus then so be it. Not going to say i'm not gutted but i'm not surprised in the slightest.

Moses gets a fair few minutes on the pitch for Chelsea tbf, done better there than I thought he would.

We needed a striker before this and now we need two, still think we'll get one in January though. Dissapointed to lose the best striker we've had since Shearer, but I do think the rest of the team will benefit without his whinging on about playing out of position.

:frantic:

Said on the radio that Bale has reached 5 yellow cards, all for diving, is that right?

Can't blame him for being first choice RB at the club for so long, just shows the lack of ambition from the club. Similar position to Willo really, out of his depth, but with more of a shitbag attitude. Such an obvious weakness in the squad, if we come out of another window with him it'll be a pathetic showing from the board.

In the summer I was fairly supportive of what was going on, we'd just had an excellent season and I pretty much accepted that we weren't getting anyone in despite our obvious flaws. It's got to a point now though where our deficiencies are so glaringly obvious (not that they weren't in the summer but our performances were masking them) that i'll be seriously fucked off if we don't at least get a new CB in. There is money coming in from the new TV deal and if I hear that we haven't got one over the line or we should be thankful for the owner we have i'll be seriously disenchanted for the first time in a long time.

Would have been happy today if it wasn't for the absolute cunts challenge on Anita. Hope he is ok

Very good start winning loads of 50/50s and tackling well.

This 'NUFC hope for early deal' sounds eerily familiar

Would take a RVP sending off like

MUST.FIND.SOMETHING.NEGATIVE.ABOUT.US. Human nature my friend, when you watch another team, you will compare it to your own. It's f***ing ridiculous.

MUST.FIND.SOMETHING.NEGATIVE.ABOUT.US. Not at all, i've been pretty positive about us recently, just interesting to see the difference between starting lineups between two teams at home against top of the table and second bottom.
