Though when Mod leaves Spurs I assume they will replace with a decent forward.

Glad Simmo is staying. Sure he isn't great and makes some howlers but they are more so going forward imo. But we know it's a squad we need and I'd rather get a new FB and have him compete for it and have the depth.

Get in. Nervous end but cracking result against a canny Spurs side tbf. Ben Arfa was mint all game and great to see Ba back in amongst goals. I though Tiote was hot and cold. Anita looked tidy for his first game. Jonas was canny as well. Some good stops by Krul and unlucky at their goal. Phew.

Get The Fuck In Oh I've missed my heart jumping all over the place

Bollocks

Class from Taylor there

Anita makes his debut, Cabaye off.

Need to not be sloppy though and calm it down again.

Get the fuck in. Best move of the game by us and cracking finish by Ba. Who says he can't play alongside Cisse.

Can't disagree with that so far.

Aye, been their half. We're giving it away too easy

Simpson needs to be careful like

Damn close!

Their midfield has done better so far but that's two of them on a yellow now.

Tiote still struggling and was near subbed there by Anita.

If the players they brought in were done knowing RVP and Song were on the way out they'll be in trouble.

Jonas won more FKs than any player in the league last season. Looks to be continuing. Shame we aren't making most of them though

In fairness Abeid, what I saw of him, looked canny pre season. Campbell Is further behind I'm development tbf

I'd have thought Campbell was, he seems to be getting a lot of praise of late.

Aye it was posted on here like a scene from the living dead / children of the corn.

Not quite the same, but Queen singing "fried chicken" at the end of One Vision?

Yeah that was him. Said we were expected to move for him if giving up on Debuchy. But I read elsewhere he was too pricey for us.

I'd say it was. One place down in the league to 6th (where i think we will finish) plus getting to group stages of Europa and beyond is progress. Also take in to account that we often do worse in the league following qualification for Europe. There is one more significant factor though. Pardew has said that league is the priority. IMO Ashley has had a sniff of the Champions League potential and sees the earnings from that a better goal than any cup. So from that we will field strongest teams in the league and rotate for cup games. In this care, you would then have to say we should be aiming for 4th. Really depends what the cups take out of us, how lucky we are with injuries and how long we lose players to the ACN. On that, if we really want to try and qualify for the CL, we need a forward to step in when the ACN in here unless he thinks Shola and Benny can step up.

It's gonna be cracking the pavements by the time 5.30 comes and after earlier rain the grass will be perfect. Cisse should be fit and I can see Anita starting if one of Tiote/Cabaye isn't quite ready. All set up for a 3-1 win.
