Wouldn't want to loan Zaha unless we have a real agreement in place purchase him after. It's bad enough that our current leading scorer belongs to a Championship club. We shouldn't be helping other Premier League clubs develop their talent. We are having a hard enough time finding playing time for Ben Arfa and Marveaux or any of our own youngsters, so lets not go and give time to another clubs player. If we are only going after squad filler than buy someone cheap and hope they turn into another Gouffran or give our own academy players a chance. The loan system is shit and just encourages the big clubs to suck up all the talent at no risk. It's embarrassing for a club of our size to have to rely on it.

seeing stuff like this just reminds me of how crazy it was that a Premier League club actually had someone like Paolo Di Canio in charge

Since we got our traditional 'terrible performance against a promoted side' out of the way against Hull, I'd like it if we could at least manage a draw here.

Why?

entertaining but we should have fucking won.

that's gunna come back to hurt us.

Good half. Disappointed we only have one goal from it though. Hope he doesn't fuck anything up at halftime.

What am I watching?

may have to get a #11 shirt pretty soon

Always nice when a hyped up match between the top sides actually turns out entertaining.

this game

First US broadcast I've caught in a while, so much better than listening to Owen.

great game, distracting me from getting too nervous about ours.

With his form right now I could see this ending up like Aubameyang. He'll go somewhere better.

GW 16: Man City 2-0 Arsenal Cardiff 0-1 West Brom Chelsea 3-0 Crystal Palace Everton 2-2 Fulham Newcastle 1-1 Southampton West Ham 0-1 Sunderland Hull 0-0 Stoke Aston Villa 1-2 Man Utd Norwich 2-1 Swansea Tottenham 2-2 Liverpool

All that young talent and they still only sold Walcott, Bale, and Ox combined for around what we got for Carroll. It's great to be able to build around youth players, it's something we should take more seriously. The reality is that if you have anyone English with a bit of talent, they are eventually going to move to a bigger club. It's how you reinvest the money that matters. That article is s***.

"Tim Kruhl"

He should 'really want to win' every game.

Had completely forgotten about Jonas, now I'm worried. Thanks.

Agree with this.

currently winning the prediction league..

Why can't we have home games on the same day that Sunderland have one? Is it a police thing? Do Sunderland have to borrow the Newcastle police because they don't have any?

Wow! What a result! Just read through the entire thread, need to find a way to watch it now because the 'highlights' don't seem to do it justice. Missed the Swansea game as well but I thought we were heading towards some bad form when I saw that scoreline. Great response by the team! It shows something special that they can not let a bad loss get to them and rise to the occasion in a tougher match only a few days later. Good stuff.
