Monroe Transfer

Typical Messi.

Aaaaaaaaaand so is the crumble! Pervert.

Class. Tom's finest moment.

Can't wait to see Cattermole get wound up again.

Liking CT's new username.

Kevin Phillips is scoring goals for fun in the Championship. I know he's just joined Blackpool but perhaps our lot will give him another crack at the Premiership.

Don't rate Evans and I'm not sure about Welbeck.

Someone did in the match thread, with the following drivel... He's had one match in the premier league and yet you've already written him off? Gosling's only had 20 odd league appearances in 3 seasons, the vast majority of which have been with Everton. He's also missed an entire season injured. Not sure why he's considered a superior option to someone who was a first teamer with Lyon? In the context of what is expected of him, as a direct compliment to the defensive steel Tiote provides (ie. An attack-minded creator through the middle corridor in open play, to provide fluency in attacking half, otherwise too much is expected from HBA: a factor used by some when defending Nolan's sale for the overall good of the team, highlighting the latter's weakness' to balance out what he actually brought to the team as an instinctive goal sneak inside the box) in open play............ yes i have written him off. He looks like the atypical role player in midfield (a serviceable jack of all trades, but overall a master of nothing) and in France has been surrounded by a steady supply of attacking talent, a bloke who just happened to have a release clause in his contract. From 'role player' to being the 'main man, to provide drive between the defensive & attacking thirds' here, at least in the engine room'. It's a big step-up, both in responsibility & ability. I don't see enough of the mindset (or forward drive) required to release some the pressure that will no doubt be humped on HBA's fragile frame, as opposition managers and their respective outfield units will see little need to shelter their rearguard with a balanced sideline-to-sideline defensive shape.

Bit of the ol' reverse psychology from Stevie there.

Your ex's mate, that Christine had a sizeable napper on her. Pic?

I can recall similar complaints about Shearer's anti-NUFC comments (most if not all were and are credible and fair if you ask me) before he got the manager's job at the club.

Must have been seconds in it...

Could be worse - we could be Everton.

You on the wind-up?

Sounds like he's finally learned...

Are you serious? He's had one game. You can dress your posts up in waffle all you want, but you look more than a little foolish coming to such a conclusion after 80 minutes of first team football. Strange how you come to such a strong judgement of a new player in a new league yet make no mention of how Ameobi should still be a sub at best based on yesterday, or how Ryan Taylor isn't close to being adequate cover at left back.

I'm not sure how you can come to such conclusions when we're still a couple of signings away from completing our business, when Cabaye is clearly off the pace, when Ben Arfa is injured, and when Marveaux and Gosling are waiting in the wings. All of them plus a more on form Barton will create a fair few, I'm sure of it. I don't have a problem with Best, Ameobi and Lovenkrands being subs.

Obertan was pretty impressive, beyond me how you could describe him as "shit".

What? Neither side deserved to win that. They were comfortably better for the most part but with little to no end product. A lot of their attacking was down our left which they naturally diagnosed as a weakness (at least we know that area will be improved on soon enough).

Krul has been class for the most part.

Barton has the same amount of reds as Stevie G and Lampard, doesn't he?

Oh dear.
