Holloway

Oh, they've just mentioned Hereford

If Shelvey is to be in the 3, it seems pointless to have him sat deepest as the weakest part of his game is tackling/breaking up the play.Joe is better suited to that role

Stoked for this one already, the sense of anticipation seeing the new lads and what they can bring. May have a beer or two

Half an hour with KK and he'd be on the plane

Looks solid enough. Who`s winning a 100m dash out of our CB`s ?

Truly sickening, as are some of the reactions out there.

Plenty of championship quips in the last few pages, we`re not going down like. Things are aligning, we`re gaining momentum

ooooh surprise, I`ll hazard a guess

Good read that, liked the comments about Amanda and the veiled digs at the former owner. Question is whether he can develop further with the inevitability of higher quality team mates that are brought in. Should be exciting finding out !

My first Toon hero No apparent weaknesses as a striker, lightning quick (elite 100m level), strong as a bull and lethal with both feet (in his autobiography he mentions hours of practice spent shooting with his weaker right foot) and he was also very powerful in the air. Was known as Mac the Mouth in the press back then as he was quite outspoken, and in the run up to the fa cup final in 74 he was spouting off a bit. Unfortunately he only got the one chance in the one sided final which he skyed over the bar. His book also chronicles the botched operation on his knee by the club`s medical staff which led to a painful early retirement and the beginnings of a serious alcohol problem.

I`ve never been so desperate for us to sign a player that only 2 days ago I knew absolutely fuck all about

Blimey,crikey and crivens ?

Cock tease of a transfer window,give us a happy ending

Was that Mc Faul?

You`re right as far as I can remember, it went `fuck off Peyter Reid` though. We were at this pub at Villa around that time and the track by the Monkees (how apt) just got played on a loop for about an hour

Aye bring the old ones back. Still think our finest moment was rhyming Peyter Reid with monkey`s heed, that`s move over John Lennon territory

I`d sooner have Alli than Lingard, Ramsey and that tart from Norwich

The increased awareness he`s shown has been a revelation, he`s great at nicking the ball off opponents through his anticipation

Could tell he was in the mood from the off yesterday, had an urgency about him that is all too rare. Also saw a few pics of him afterwards and he was beaming, which is rarer still

Would be glorious if we can help drag these scummy bastards into the mix

Loved how we kept going forward there, should really have wrapped it up and saved me the palpies

Shout out to Manqs coming on there, he won everything and set the free kick up for the goal

Notable absence of certain posters since the goal,eh

Fucking brilliant ?

Wood is Lurch out of the fucking Adams family
