Feeling ropey today. Thank god I've got work off like Felt like a lot less Pardew style Hoof-ball yesterday, which is encouraging. It's didn't always work, but we tried to keep the ball down. Fair play to Obertan - cross for 2nd goal was spot on.

He did fade yesterday but so did the whole team. His block at the end was excellent though, and I thought his passing kept us ticking over. And it showed when Tiote came on - the difference is plain to see. Tiote is gone, he is s*** now. Sometimes I wonder about this Board, because the opinion of people in the stands I speak to, and in the pub is different to on here. People think he is a decent player, maybe not starting all the time, but a useful squad member. On here, it's relentless negative banter.

This board is negative as fuck. He had a decent game today.

Enjoyed the game. Second goal was class We faded last 20 mins, but there were some positives to take from game for sure.

Happy for the lad. Needs a run of games, and hopefully he'll be a consistent goalscorer. Good start.

Fuck sake Peterhead!

Maybe I'm clutching at straws a bit.

Just bought last season's home top from Sports Direct for £18 today. Feel a little dirty.

Intrigued to see what formation we go for. Going to be a tough game but Southampton are away in Europe on Thursday, so hopefully that'll will help us. Well up for a big drink on Sunday. Hardly drank much past month. Ready to get involved. Day off work Monday, so PS4 and KFC for me. Hopefully after 3 points.

Well written post. I'm not 100% agreeing with it, but you do make some valid points. Much better post than just calling him a f***ing ginger c***. I'm not convinced Colback is good enough for a 2 man centre midfield, but I certainly think he can be useful for in a 3 man centre midfield, and he can play full-back if we have bad injury crisis. I just feel we've got more pressing issues (getting rid of Wilko, Gouffran has to be No.1 priority). We still need more strength in CB and up front, and ideally on the wing.

Shit like this I can't stand. By all means, if you don't rate Colback - then fine. The forum is good for debate and discussion. But shitty little posts like this mean nothing.

Day off work on Monday, getting mortal for this one.

I don't understand the complaints about the team either.

Sissoko needs to improve his crossing but I could live with this.

To be fair, I don't get why posters are keep going on about Pardew. He left us months ago.

Just feels good we've actually spent some proper money for once. We've not naive on this board, we know we need more investment in key positions, but I certainly feel better about the season then I did 3 weeks ago.

Happy with this. CB and winger next please.

He's not shit, he's average. I wouldn't have him starting in a 4 man midfield, but he can be useful with if we play with 5 man midfield. People just go over the top on this board.

Yep. He can have the child back as well.

Exactly what we needed. As previously said: let strengthen the CB and striker positions and get rid of the dead wood (Willo, Gouffran, Obertan) and I'll be pretty happy. Maybe a winger too.

It's a friendly Selected as captain ahead of Janmaat and De Jong though. De Jong only played about 5 games for us I do think Janmaat is Captain material though.

You're totally right though. He looks like a character but his record is pretty good. He does seem to have an eye for goal. We need to improve our crossing if we get him.

You sound like a woman. 'When do you ever take me out' Gets taking out 'Babe, this is too expensive, we should have went to Nandos and Cinema' Brilliant

Basically this. Get Wijnaldum sorted, if we can some quality at CB and front, will be feeling a lot more positive.
