The new Gouffran

We look good in training. Only problem with that is we train against ourselves who we know are hopeless

Anything remotely positive come out of this?

Our fans

Gutted we took ages getting rid of woodman and missed out on Steele

Yup, I'm impressed this game is being played with a lot of intensity.

1-1 Callejon

Nice play some really nice stuff.

Nice one up, Hatem with the assist.

The ben arfa fan club unites

Then I'm watching

Those people that renewed on the back of Ashleys promise and 3 signings

It's not even that it makes for farcical games for fans pre season, if he's playing people he doesn't intend to play during the actual season then he's got a screw loose. Yup I'd have liked to see him focus on getting the first team up to speed and gelled as much as possible.

Metro L'Equipe. Aren't they also always wrong?

How many other teams would hire a manager who has just been sacked from a side from the division below. Get the impression that we wanted him long before the sacking the and that the sacking was in part a result of our interest. I guess. The club may well of wanted him but they also wanted Pardew and didn't consider sacked him despite how dismal we were. The appointment of Mclaren was endemic of the clubs lack of ambition.

How many other teams would hire a manager who has just been sacked from a side from the division below. if that's the reason for judging.him on what's happened in the last 4 weeks then it's as short sighted as it gets. Well speaking personally he has to win me over, I didn't want him as manager but now we have him I'll give him a chance. Doesn't mean his failings won't be pointed out though.

Bolded is key for me, he's taking the easy options with selections when he should be stamping his mark on things by never letting certain players near the first team again. Yeah the easy options like Bigi at full back... I think that's more because he wanted to rest Janmaat and didn't have anyone else to play full back.

I disagree I think he knows exactly where we are at in regards to signings. I hope the fans who decided not to renew haven't renewed on the basis of 3 signings we have managed to get over the line. It's good to know we have the stability and continuity of the good ol' #wait though.

On a plate for him. Chelsea disgust me.

Aye got a feeling we will get Austin to placate but probably sell Cisse or Sissoko to compensate.
