I thought Lamela was a LW?

And I didn't mean Dembele as a number ten, just maybe the most forward orientated of a Dembele/Capoue/Paulinho midfield, in a 4-3-3. And Eriksen as the 'proper' AMC if Villas-Boas wants to play one.

Right now, I can hope he's just used as a squad player and not first choice because it doesn't look so good so far


Would think Lennon/Lamela will be first choice on the flanks. And Eriksen/Dembele as the most forward central midfield player.

Wonder where the new signings leave Holtby and Sigurdsson?

Wenger is absolutely brilliant at winning the big games. Absolutely outstanding.

I can't fucking stand ITK's. Sad people with nothing better to do than bullshit on the internet for the sake of attention.

They're a bunch of 12 year old kids on their summer holidays.


Oh I know. I just found it funny how an 'in the know' is clearly getting annoyed at the lack of signings and is therefore linking more and more players to Arsenal. The ITK actually started the summer, sensibly and level headed.

He also says 'Rogers' told him personally that Suarez was going to Arsenal. And yet he still repeatedly spells his name wrong.

Just found an ITK on twitter, who is obviously an Arsenal fan. At the start of the summer, he tweets very logically and calmly. By the end of the window, he's clearly desperate and claiming Arsenal are signing everyone. Amazing the delusion of ITK's . DEALS 95% COMPLETED, IF I REPORT IT, THEY WILL COME!

Hate when fans boo their own players. No idea what they think they can achieve.

There seems to be very little correlation between what happens at the match and what appears in the match report.

F365's match report for today was Newcastle won but it doesn't count because I wanted to say they were rubbish and Pardew is clueless, and to act extremely smug. This game was horrendously one sided, Newcastle murdered Fulham for most of the game. 24 shots to 3.

F365's main evidence that Newcastle are awful and lucky, is that Newcastle had one shot on target in the previous two games, which has been mentioned several times over the past week. Newcastle had 9 shots on target today. Nine. 50% more than anyone else. I think it's a totally meaningless stat, but I wonder how many times it will be highlighted in match reports this week.

In other news West Ham have only had one shot on target in their past two games. CRISIS,MELTDOWN,TURMOIL!

Dutch* people are wanks. They're all obsessed with 'developing'. Maher was only willing to sign for PSV/Ajax and van Ginkel wanted to go to PSV/Ajax as well. Go for the money, you cunts. *Danes and some Belgians qualify as Dutch for this scenario.

I don't think so, last year the policing in the Championship was farcical in its heavy handed approach.

Loads of 'derbies' were moved to 12 noon Sunday non-televised kick-offs. And there was several requirements to go watch Palace v Brighton in the playoffs.

Arsenal's group looks excellently balanced on paper.

Interesting regarding Manchester United. They are the best team in he group, but Leverkusen and Real Sociedad will be very dangerous if they play to their potential.

I went to the pre-season friendly back in 2011 when we beat you 3-2, before that the last time was when you beat us 3-1. But Danny Mills kicked the fuck out of Bellamy so the result didn't matter.


I was there. :Alan Smith scored. Meaning I've seen Alan Smith score live twice. Which is probably a record.

Also Duberry scored with his usual own goal.

Plastic pitch, 4,000 mile trip, extremely defensive team. We shouldn't have made it this difficult but they were well organized and were lucky to nick a couple of goals in the first leg. We're also not the side we were last year now that Wilson, Wanyama and Hooper have all left.


If Celtic were out, would Celtic fans feel like their season was practically over in August? - Although saying that in a way it could be more exciting being in the UEFA Cup as Celtic are equipped to make a real go of it.

Lmao seriously? This is a team from fucking Kazakhstan...

Just caught the end then and everyone was going mental.


Same Lucky you avoided Dinamo Zagreb or Maribor.

That said they beat BATE in the knockout round, and they looked decent last year. I think they beat Bayern and were fairly respectable. Don't know if BATE are the same team as last year, mind. Could have overspent and had a fire sale or something in the past 12 months

Gah.

Ribery was absolutely incredible last season. Wouldn't surprise me if he outperformed Ronaldo/Messi last season. Nevermind Iniesta.

He was the best player in arguably the greatest team ever.

Skyler is very aware he's doing something. She just doesn't know what he is doing. I'm pretty sure they were separated at that point anyway.

And being 'distant' is being incredibly misleading, he's disappearing for hours and not telling her where he has been, and she knows he's lying about the fugue state and the second mobile phone. That level of betrayal of trust is equal to having an affair, if not far greater.

I only watched the first 3 seasons of Breaking Bad, so I'm currently rewatching the whole thing through. Midway through season 2.


The Skyler hate, is so ridiculous.

Walt is an awful human being, and Skyler gets criticised for it. Society.

Kinnear gives fairly innocuous interview. Predictable backlash.

If people think Kinnear is as sly, devious and powerful as they think he is, then why would he bother making any more signings? Surely he would refuse to sign Gomis/Gourcuff/Ayew to get back at them.

All the reports I've red from NUFC fansites and the media say West Ham had the best moments of the game. Though it says a lot of both team's attacking abilities that there was 1 shot on target in the whole game.

Newcastle fansites are written by absolute morons though. (With the exception of NUFC.COM, whose match report who didn't mention West Ham at all in their match report.)

We should be beating West Ham at home - no two ways about it.

Again too negative. Enjoyed the support of Pardew though - glad to see most fans know the predicament we're in is Ashley/Kinnear's fault not his.


I don't even think Newcastle are in a 'predicament', most fans just seem to think the grass is greener.

What support for Pardew?

I don't get this negative stuff at all, imo Pardew has never been particularly negative. The main problem at Man City was Newcastle were far too open.

Amazon I'm guessing?

Just had a look and all pre-orders for PS3 and Xbox360 are under £35.

GTA V/FIFA 14/WWE2k14/COD: Ghosts

And Batman Arkham Origins is £31. Awesome.

Nah Newcastle played pretty well, probably shaded the first half and improved after the break. Dominated the final twenty minutes. Newcastle didn't ever really look like scoring. Although West Ham had two really clear cut chances, they didn't create much else.

Pardew deserves credit for actually shaking up team selection, and making better substitutions, such as taking Cisse off and leaving on Shola on.

Fans were a lot better than last season, but still a few moments of negativity, such as booing substitutes (Sammy looked a lot better than Marveaux) and booing possession. Newcastle fans really hate having the ball. But they actually got behind the team for the final 20 minutes.

Anyway it's amazing how many fans are determined that Newcastle are in TURMOIL and are almost certainly going to be relegated, yet scoff at a point against a well organized West Ham.

Also unveiled this banner, again displaying conclusively Joe Kinnear is more intelligent than a sizeable segment of Newcastle fans.

Can Willian play as a CF?

Seems amazing that Chelsea are going into the season with so many AM's, but no top, proven striker.
