the last good start i remember us making was the year we entered the intertoto under sir bobby

there's a fair few but i think we should be more worried abotu getting players in before we ship any more out

i'm hoping it's going to be one of those seasons where we don't sign any major players and we all expect to end up doing shit but then we end up being pleasantly surprised - smith turns into a world beater, guthrie comes into his own as our new driving force in midfield, owen remains injury free and in the goals all year and duff recaptures his old blackbrn form. clutching at straws but you never know...

step forward ....danny guthtrie

ronaldo is the best player to watch in the pl at the moment by a country mile.

good player. i wouldn't have minded us getting him in when you look at the lack of quality in our current midfield

dunno. maybe. just saw them on nufc.com

class comment from his agent today: "I spoke to the directors of Newcastle and explained that they should look for another player. I understand what their financial limits are and I know they can’t afford the money Lendoiro is requesting. “Three years ago we were assured that if there was a €10M bid for Coloccini, the player would be available “It's the same as last summer, he wasn't allowed to go to Zaragoza and now it's the same with another major offer.” “Slavery was abolished years ago. Will Lendoiro be able to sleep easy after ruining the player's career?”

everton, spurs and pompy will probably fight it out for those spots, with the next group of also rans slightly below to include blackburn, man city and maybe us.

a strange move for bentley. he said he wanted to play in the champions league but he isn't going to get that at spurs - uefa cup/intertot football at best tbh. more of a sideways step than a move forward - i guess he just wanted to move back to london, which is understandable - blackburn is a right shithole. He said his eventual aim was to play in the champions league. No reason why he can't do that at Spurs. Would you want to work for Paul Ince? do me a favour. when was the last time spurs played in the champions league? oh yeah, that's right - never. no one is going to break into the top 4 in the near future, not least spurs. you've got about as much chance as we do - which is exactly 0.00000001%. Stranger things have happened, Im not saying it will happen this year but if we keep building the team and with a coach like Juande, you never know. Bentley seems to think so anyway. My man tells me it is happening today. no chance mate. keep dreaming

prat, moi? pipe down you douche bag

Haven't the club ALWAYS said they'd back Keegan in the players he wanted to buy? I've not believed a word to the contrary in any rag either way. there have been too many stories about wage restructuring and cost cutting for there not to be some truth in it, don't you think? no smoke without fire and all that. i'd like to think we've got £50m to blow on keegan's top targets and i'll be pleasantly surprised if that turns out to be the case come the end of the window

tbf, if we're shelling out £8m on defender, we might have more to spend than has been let on. perhaps we have money but keegan will only sanction it being spent on the right players and we're biding our time before making a swoop for several first choice targets. ....i fucking hope so anyway

fuck me, remind me not to look you up next time i'm out in town It's not something I've ever been involved with. Well, not for a long time anyway and even then it wasn't anything I instigated. I'm just being realistic. I said it was bad - he done time and rightly so. It's something a lot of people do though and get away with every Saturday night in every town. I suspect you realised what I was saying and chose to ignore it anyway though. i think there's a difference between a fair fight between two piss heads and some psychopath lashing out at some random kid (seemingly unprovoked) and then continuing to lace him while he's on the deck. one is fair game, the other is just savage. Fair fight? What's this, 1950? Here man. I fucking hate fighting pissheads regardless. Some little scally setting his lip up to Barton got a chinning, which he was asking for. Barton shouldn't have done what he did. He was an idiot who got what he deserved. Pardon me if my heart isn't bleeding for the lad though. i lol'd at that. tbh, i think i'd by trying to find excuses for barton if: 1) he was a good player or 2) this was an isolated incident. everyone deserves a second chance but we're talking about a scouse charv that has stubbed a cigar out one teammates' eyeballs and beaten up another so bad that was left him with a damaged eye.

Do you not think he might have already given that a go? well he needs to keep trying, obviously. do you reckon working for nufc going to be good therapy for him like? this move is crazy and is destined to end in tears if it does happen - look at how is stint in charge of kettering ended. Aye, I think it's perfect therapy for him. A management role is a completely different kettle of fish and one he isn't suited to. But a bit of proper coaching is different. i'd put my mortgage on it ending in tears.

have you seen the videos of his assault on that lad? absolutely savage. the kid goes straight down but barton carries on lacing him while he's on the deck - nice. also, some lass he's with starts kicking the kid while he's down too. why do we always end up with players like this? even if barton was any good, you still wouldn't want him at the club after seeing thaat footage - bowyer mark II tbh

i personally think gazza needs to get a good therapist and to somehow give up the drink. working for nufc, if anything, will probably only result in him hitting the bottle even harder. he'll be centre of attention at the club again and the temptation for post-training bevvies in town will probably be too hard for him to resist.

we're talking about an alcoholic that's just been sectioned. howay man. i have a lot of sympathy for him but giving him a job won't make his problems go away and there's no way he's qualified to get a job for a premier league club as a coach. So hows that jobs for the boys again? he used to play for us. he isn't qualified to the do the job it's an act of charity because of his connections with the club ...nedd i go on?

jesus wept. if that isn't jobs for the boys i don't know what is.
