Happy Face

Amazed Wenger hasn't pursued that angle like. CT working on a whole other level.

Interesting reading the Arsenal fans thoughts, they tend to agree with us that £20m+ is more like it...and they're reluctant to believe Arsenal will pay it. http://www.goonersworld.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22805

I absolutely agree with you, but... http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-pardew-impressed-dan-goslings-5387228

Get the impression people think Tiote, Sissoko, Anita & Gosling will do and the money should go on a striker.

I'm surprised Pardew didn't call a press conference the way he's been putting him in the shop window.

We can afford not to blink on this one. The pressure from the fans for them to buy is huge, and they've got £180m sat in the bank. Tell them not to make any more offers unless they're going to pay £30m. Not that it will do us any fucking good whatsoever, Ashley still hasn't spent the £35m [/LM]

Newcastle have no such concerns and have announced the offer as soon as possible in the hope of prompting a bidding war.

Ignore Ben Arfa then. I think fatigue comes into play for Cabaye with 3 months injured on the back of 2 full seasons and his first major summer tournament.

Bit touchy there Tom. "STOP GETTING BOND WRONG!" #accidentalparteidge

None of the leeway Ben Arfa is afforded, coming back from the groin strain as he was?

This article is interesting. Suggests the view of Cabaye performing worse might be one of perception...and hightened expectations... http://www.eplindex.com/epl-news/36702/newcastle-afford-lose-cabaye-stats-show-cabaye-improvement.html The perceptible difference for me last season, when he saw the ball, was his shooting from out of the box which rarely seemed to hit the target.

Wahey, our first "massive" game?

Exchange one Pob headed c*nt for another?

Aren't they exactly the same as the gates in the tunnel out under the Leazes/Milburn corner?

Did you not read the tweet Andrew?

..and PSG had to come from behind to equalise in the dying minutes. The kind of game that gives us hope tonight.

Ben Arfa didn't start any of those games ....or the four nowt at Man City. The fat fuck is carrying all my hopes and dreams.

..and they've learned from that I'm sure

He only played a third of the season 2 years back.....and i could have been one of our best players last season
