i'm loving it personally. for an exiled geordie living in london it's ideal, especially as we've won just about every televised game that we've played in this year. long may it contiue - we used to be crap on the telly in the prem

funny how smith isn't considered a striker anymore and even nolan gets a run out up front ahead of him when we're down to the bare bones

player is the bit that worries me. we need players.

got a feeling this might be our first defeat of the season

this is exactly the sort of thread that could come back to bite us on the arse

terrible news but absolutely predictable. i reckon we need to sign at least another 6 players to give us the depth required to sustain a promotion push. they can be over the hill, kids or journeymen on next to nothing in wages. at this stage we need extra bodies in the squad desperately and we can't afford to be picky. howay ashley man sort it out.

let's just accept it lads. no takeover is happening before the transfer window shuts.

Thats a pretty strong team, and their definitely is cover for the odd injury. If more players aren't sold, that team should do pretty well, and it would be surprising not to be in the top 3 at the end of the season. so our cover in defence is two average midfielders? hmmmmm. i guess by the odd injury you mean no inuries. the first team looks good enough to hold its own in this division but that squad looks wafer thin to me

fingers crossed for no injuries. how significant taylor/collocini/xisco not being in the squad?

millwall is such a shithole, it's no wonder the fans are such animals. bermondsey is on my trainline to work and some of the "characters" that emerge from the station have to be seen to be believed.

fuck off you fuck off are you excited at players like this being the major signings then ? If so, fuck off. Major signings? Are you high? We're in the championship, we've not money to invest and we've no manager... who the fuck were you expecting to join? And don't fucking talk about the good old days under Shepherd, because everybody, and I do mean every mother fucker in the world, is bored shitless of your broken ass record. Now, go bitch and moan about not getting a response from N-O or whatever else is tying your pants in a knot somewhere else, you tedious old fart. oh dear, look who's biting. We are in the championship because of the direction taken by the club advocated by lots of fucking idiots, like you. Go and bitch on about your sisters you big tart. jesus wept leazes, you're never going to change the record are you

enrique, collocini and jonas are the three most likely to go. taylor going would be massive

60k a week though. we couldn't have paid him that, surely.

he's got the one commodity we're woefully short of - pace. not the composed finisher but has proven he can do a job at this level, just not at the very top. i think he'd be a decent buy for a promotion push. you'd probably sell him if we went up. i can't see fat mike shelling out £3m though, or offering him much in the way of wages, which is the right policy in our current financial situation.

smith and nolan bossed the centre of the park. if we can keep those two we'll do well - they're not much in the premiership but can more than handle their own at this level from what we've seen so far

a point would be a decent result

taylor going is even more symbolic of our demise than given leaving in january. he's the local lad and potential future captain. maybe not the best defender in the world but more than good enough for this division. it's on par with west ham going down and losing joe cole and leeds going down and losing alan smith

your guess is as good as mine but surely, surely he can't be worse than ashley?

ashley made fat fred look a good chairman - he's been that bad

i was ecited when we signed duff. he looked quality alongside drogba and robben or cole in chelsea's 4-3-3 system. it was also a sign of our pulling power at the time (or our willingess to pay top wages, depending on how you look at it) as lots of other clubs were in for him. shame he looked poor for most of his time with us. i agree though that he would have been excellent in the championship, as would nzogbia for that matter. we will do well to attract a better winger than either of them for a while

i don't have the patience to be put on hold for 10 minutes at a time while at work. online purchases are the way forward. just curious to know if i'm wasting my time or not...

just tried going through the nufc.co.uk website. what's the craic? do i need to be a season ticket holder or a member to get tickets in the away end? my father in law has always sorted me away end ticketsin the past but i've left it too late this time - i figured they might be available to any old punter given we dropped a division. does anyone know if that's the case or will the allocation be sold out to season ticket/holders and members by now? looks like i could be in the home end with my palace-supporting mate

via nufc.co.uk or palace's website? the palace website is pants

i'd welcome dunne and hamman - the sort of expierienced old pros that will help a promotion push
