I’ve been waiting for some decent season review videos to appear, and finally they have!
Relive the season again and view all the thrills, spills and incidents of our European qualifying campaign.
Just have to say a big thank you to to Affy from Footymad who made these videos. In fact he makes an awful lot of decent videos so it’s always worth subscribing to his channel on YouTube to keep up to date with them.
There was some cracking goals in that lot, some of which I’d sort of forgotten about so it’s nice to have it all refreshed. I look at some of the highlights and think to myself that we’re most definitely on the up and can get better if we can keep this core of players together and add to them.
All in all though, a fitting tribute to a fantastic season!

Thank you Toonsy and other contributors and bloggers for the articles etc throughout the season. Good to have reasonable balanced debate without a lot of name calling even though we hold many different views.
Cheers Toonsy but my phone won’t load them
it keeps timing out so will have to watch them later.
But I did watch a good clip from the start of the season when Saylor was in and I have to say him and Simmo worked well together, with one attacking while the other stayed back and vice versa.
As you say If we keep our best players and add a few good ones we should have another good season next.
Big D….if you think you have seen enough of sad Geordies crying into there hands, you should have been in Munich last night. It was nowt in comparison…..you could have heard a pin drop when the final whistle blew last night….
Cracking vids, seems ages since the season finished
, bring on the next one 
Nice one Toonsy, great vids !
Thank flock we didn’t finish fourth, it would have been tragedy to have the Champs League place taken from us…..poor old Spurs…not
Munich…if the Germans weren’t so crap at penalty shoot outs the result may have been different
MM im sure the result went down like a fart in a wet suit, tbh Apart from it knocking Spuds outta the cl im glad to see any british teams do well in Europe.
Dave…same here, the Spurs thing was just an added bonus
My video only loaded up to 9 minutes
What I saw was good though. Good job to the guy that made the video and for Toonsy for posting it on here 
Richie….thank goodness the English have finally beaten the Germans on pens. I was getting real sick of hearing that one here in Germany “the English are useless at pens”…. The Bavarians at least will shut there kissers in the future !!!!
good vids toonsy.
MM…. did you watch it in a bar and just sit there with a smug grin on your face?
Big D…you’re right there mate.
Say what you like about Drogba, you’ve gotta wish him all the best, it was his day yesterday. Without him Chelsea would be in big trouble, they are gonna have trouble replacing him once he heads off to China…
MM
Bet schweinsteiger is a real embarrassment to the German nation, the man epitomises Germany and looks like a true German, yet he fucked up a penalty the thing that Germans hold dear.
Richie, are you on Facebook ?
I was roaming round the city centre yesterday and it was mental, red and white everywhere. Only a spattering of blue to be seen….Public transport shut down due to overload around 20:00….
I watched the game in the local village sports club, and was actually pro Bayern until one of the locals started spouting off about the English……. the knacker calmed down though lucky for him…
Munich…no mate.
Too ugly
Andymag, I can understand the anti German sentiment, but Schweinsteiger is a really good lad, humble and bleeds red and white. He’s from the heart of Bavaria and the bloke is devastated. You could probably compare him to Shearer or any of the Geordies playing for there home town team……
Now Robben, the dumb cloggy, that’s a different story. He deserves all the slagging off he’s likely to receive, arrogant and totally unsympathetic…. he cost Bayern the game yesterday, so much posession and no end product, missed the critical pen too….
Aussie@17
Aussie….and yet, yesterday you were picturing me going commando
(told you it was a bad choice) 
I can’t stand Ashley Cole, but the fecker was immense yesterday like.
Richie, get Big D to show you how to get on FB mate, he’s good at this high tec stuff…..
Munich…I used to be on it, it was gonna get me into botha so I binned it, not to mention that overall it’s pretty crap as well
MM
I’m not insulting wee Bastian, just saying that for a ‘true German’ to miss a penalty is incredible. What I would like to see from Schweinsteiger though is his famous 35 yard shots that I never see him do anymore
Anyone else think we should sign that young Greek CB Papadopoulus? Think he’s playing in the bundesliga at the moment, just want to hear fans call him ‘Wor Papadopoulus’.
Havent laughed so much in ages, Poor old twitchy he must have nearly had thromma when that penalty was saved
Wonderful lets see you try and take wor demba now you sharpei faced cunt…
I am glad the Germans lost , they dropped a Bomb on our local Fish shop.
Munich surely the Germans would have said ‘ze English are useless at pens’??
Cracking videos btw
Toon kids in the final of the 7 a side tourny in hong kong now after beating sunderland in the semi
play villa in the final who they beat 1-0 yesterday in the group stage
Richie, I only use FB to swap photos and crack on a bit mate, I find it ok within reason.
If they’re hiding from the bizzies, exes, and stuff though, I can understand why some people don’t like it
CC sharpeis arnt the best looking in the world but they’re not that bad looking.
But I still don’t see as big a mass exudus from Spuds as a lot think
MM Richies lass doesn’t allow him on FB because he is a predator
Morning lads… i’d just like to announce wor lass is mint. I’m getting married in august and moving house next month so I couldn’t afford to re-new my season ticket. Last week I got a pay rise at work so this weekend I decided that I was going to re-new through the week on the pay monthly scheme.
(please bear in mind it’s my 30th birthday next week – for the benefit of the story)
I told my lass and she ‘argued’ that we still couldn’t afford it. 5 minutes later I’ve got a letter shoved in my face with her laughing and saying ‘i’ve ruined my birthday surprise! She’d already re-newed it for me!… Good girl!… so so so so buzzing!
I feel mentally drained after that
Rich, don’t remind me…….
(even tho you have 
)
Was just on that spurs blog, man those guys are mental, I hate floppy chops but demanding that he be sacked is ridiculous. Spurs were relegation threatened when he took over and in less than 3 years he got them into the CL, once. If he left you can be sure that Bale, Modric and VDV will be gone, leaving Tottenham as the new Aston Villa, constant mediocrity. Prior to their recent ‘success’ I used to think spurs was just another Fulham, they were pretty much the same club.
Don’t get married Nobby
As a married man, its the best advice I can give you
Haha happy for you nobby
Dave..I was the one being hunted, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Nobby…Good on your lass, give her one from me….a thankyou that is
Nobby@32, well done mate, looks like you have found yourself a canny lass there like….
Nobby, it’ll all change when you’re married though mate….
Aussie@ 36 it took a while getting there, but congrats on your first ever sensible post
Andymag, watch spuds go on melt down next season, I’m gonna love it too….
….
Richietoon@41….tell it like it is man….
Congrats nobby. U know she’s the one when she gets you a footie ticket
Reminder. #ucl groups Man C, Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea. Europa groups: Spurs. Final qual round: Newcastle (Aug 23). 3rd q: Liverpool (Aug 2)
Liverpool find out who they play in Europa League on July 20, Newcastle on August 10. Draws for EL & Champions League groups on August 30.
Information for you lads.
Today is also the last fixture of the french league,hoping PSG wins it.
Just been on the official nufc site, couple of good little bits atm, usually i only go on for videos because i fcking hate the website! Members shouldn’t have to get bombarded with adverts, it’s rank.
http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20120516/cheick-achieves-english-goal_2281670_2774300
No excuses now for Chieck, he has to become a vocal leader on the pitch. We know he never lets his head drop but he needs to make sure others aren’t as well.
ST
I posted that link last week, just shows that he’s not leaving as he says he wants to learn to understand geordie.
Ha Andy, that’s so true
cheers lads… i’ll pass the message on!
she even went as far as to forge my signature to re-new the ticket! haha!
Supposedly our little lads beat the mini mackems in hong kong, does anyone know the score/scorers? I know Campbell and Miele scored against wee Celtic.
Buys you a ticket and is an identity thief, what more could you want nobby.
Andy, i posted above it was 1-0. Dont know who scored. Villa have a live text commentary for the final which should start at 12.30
http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~2777572,00.html
Make that 12.40. Delayed to allow the pitch to recover after the most recent downpour
Cheers Dub.
Isn’t Campbell only 17? Pretty impressive to see him scoring in a competition like this. All bodes well for the future in two seasons time we might see him on the bench of the first team with a couple of appearances, JJ Hopper as well.
Damn unpredictability. Kicked off
Ive just bought a onesy pyjamas. Lush like! Comfy as oot.
1-0
Half time. Adam Campbell scored
Decided I really want Simmo to stay, really believe that he’s one of the most popular players among the team, judging by twitter and interviews and stuff it seems he really helps new players settle in and i think they would all be gutted to see him leave.
Also want to suggest a different possibility behind the contract stalling, I know the common belief is that his agent is trying to get more money.
But I think it’s possible that Pards has been honest with him, told him that he is looking to sign a new right back and Simmo will either have to fight and improve or face just being a cup starter.
If I was him, and felt no connection to the club I would be pretty torn, he’s not exactly “loved” here in the way Enrique was, chants for him a rare to say the least. So the only thing keeping him here is his bonds with the team. Is that enough to sacrifice being a first choice player in the prime of your career? I’m not sure it is.
Thoughts?
Don’t ask Ritchie for thoughts ST.. He very rarely has them
Troy
where you been mate? Hanging out with your doomsay cult buddies 
2-0, Inman adds a goal to his assist for campbell
*Doomsday
Feckin virtual keyboard are a bastard
2-1 villa cross deflected in of dummet. Villa came back from 2-0 in their QF
Full time. Won the tournament. Won every game and only conceded 2 in 6 matches
ST – Simpson will always be a player that will polarize opinion.. I think he is a good defender in the fact that he works well with his other back men, knows his limitations and very rarely try to play outside of them.. On the other hand is is as awkward as they come on the ball and is worrysome as a result.. good backup for me..
The club should show those vids to all the players who want to leave and if they still want to go, Fck em…
@Aussie, I agree, in the future he would have to be back up to be challenging for europe you’d think. (though I think he’s deserved A LOT more credit for this season).
So if you were in his shoes what would you do?
AMF @ 68 good back up eh! keep away from richie then
I would stay, purely based on the “better the devil you know” senario.. who is to say that he will be a certain starter each week for another team… Beye was our voted best player and couldnt get a game at Villa…
Ice, Noted mate
Good for the young’ins winning that tournament, the majority of them were shit in the reserves league, but are showing promise with wins like this. Thought Inman had been released with the rest of the youngsters that weren’t deemed good enough?
True. I think we should risk losing him on a free anyway. Who’s to say Debuchy (or whoever) will settle straight away, it’s worth just keeping him for that year rather than selling for the price we’d get.
The club should/should’ve video(ed) the hong kong matches, and post(ed) the goals on the website.
Pardews three old teams, West Ham, Reading and Southampton are all going to be competing against us next season. Quite a coincidence that.
Hey ‘Arry, apples and pears, we’re gonna lose Bale and ‘Modders’ naaah, aw naaw.
Great videos. Having watched that, what stands out to me the most is the absolute class in the final third and very clinical finishing. Long may it continue and bring on next season already.
Spurs
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Spurs fans are certainly going to be in for some nervous times over the next month or so
@aussie
I bought some onesy pyjamas 3 days ago and I never realised the sleeves were tied together at the back, so when I slipped my arms in it was like a strait jacket and I couldnt get oot!
I was found by a stray marmoset monkey who was just passing by and it untied my arms!
The chances eh?
Sounds plausible Troy..
Have you put a gihad on your ‘source’ at the club yet.. the guy has ruined your cred
Troy, marmosets are worth their weight in gold mate. They don’t get half the credit they deserve. I have a whole battalion of them in my cellar. I trained them to crochet doilies and they’re currently churning out around 2000 per day. Good little business venture, I’d recommend it to everyone. Tidy source of income, and they don’t require much attention. I just water them once a month, and chuck the odd dead pigeon down there once in a while.
Feckin hell Rodz, dont encourage Troy mate..
Aussie, marmoset awareness is a serious issue. The world needs to wake up.
fucking hell I’m hungover.
must…
get…
burgers…
Rodz, They belong on a dinner table, not in a sweat shop! !
yeah Aussie, when hollowed out they make decent gravy boats.
DJG
He also managed Charlton, who’ve been promoted from league 1 to the Championship
AMF
Don’t give up on Troy’s source, there’s still nine hours of the day left
Fck it. WE’VE WON A TROPHY

ST
F-ck that Cup’s massive, well done to the lads, anyone know how tavanier actually did? Campbell obviously did well, as did Miele by the sound of it.
Toonsy- great videos , well done to Affy & Ross@gallowgate tooners. God we been really good at times and the spirit shone through in them videos. Really hope we have another season like that or better ,here’s hopeing anyway , hell if Chelsea can win the CL playing like they have anything is possible.
Solano@90-
That’s a nice looking trophy .
I never said he was a source! It’s the way the marmosets pronounce it. It’s either, sores, saws, Sauce or soars but defo not source.
Andy i assume the defence did pretty well if they only conceded 2 in 6. Inman sounded good in the final and maddison apparently looked good in the group. They name a player of the tournament, hopefully one of our boys wins it but that daniel johnson from villa seemed to have a great tournament
Beep beep beep… Troys reversing beepers are now in effect
Dub ,that’s another bit of payback to Villa ,just need em relegated from PL now
anyway…Good to see you have come out of hiding Salman
Not that your bitter or anything kimtoon. Bigger things to concern ourselves with now like european football and such
you’re
Dub, bitter me ,as if.
Dub
Aye only 2 conceded is very good, hopefully tav can have some game time next season, if not then we should try and loan him to a promotion chasing Championship side like Blackpool or Crystal Palace if we get Clyne.
@aussie
Yes. Hands up! I did say there was going to be a cataclysmic press release this week.
All said with good honest intentions.
I will take the flak.
I’m pleased my sources are shite!
from another site but a look at the french kid they say is comeing to toon has carr found another “gem”couple of canny goals like

have anyone seen this.
http://twitter.com/#!/mulumbuofficial
Yeah hitman I saw that , I think he could be a good squad player.
…or Tiote replacement.
if he is on about a move he must be daft to let it out on twatter.
Lol,Torres just drop a bombshell.
He wants to leave now.

Confession time!
In defence of Troy, it was my source who informed me last Monday of the alleged trouble brewing at SJP between Pardew and Ashley/Lamearse. As I was at work I had no access to this site so I contacted Troy who posted the now shite ITK news on the blog.
There were a number of rumours circulating my workplace last Monday which appeared to add credance to my source, hence passing on the info to Wor Troy as a possible scoop.
Sorry folks, I appear to have placed too much trust in my source.
Once bitten, twice as shy!
tut tut Tony
Fair play for owning up though.
I didn’t believe it for a second anyway.
All is forgiven
ICE@104- He looks good ,certainly knows how to ping em in from distance.
does anyone on here download 360 games.
sorry for being off topic like
Cheers Rod,
Information was passed with good intent as this is what blogs are for
Indeed TGS, everyone loves a bit of drama anyway.
Hitman, the last time you asked a completely random and irrelevant question like that, I answered it and you disappeared. It done my head in for days so I’m reluctant to be so revealing this time.
…I think it was “does anyone have Sky HD” or something similar
I see Danny simpson is reafirming his desire to stay with us as long as the deal is right. “I’m not a greedy playerand I just want to be on a par with the other players around me.” he said “In football terms what I’m asking for is by no means outrageous. I want to stay at this club and I’ve been saying that all season. I’ve recently had a baby, I’m happy here and so is my family.
“Hopefully me and the club can find some solution. I want to stay but if I have to move ,I will accept it and move on.” But it’s a great club with 50,000 screaming Geordies at the game every week,why would I want to leave?”.
He goes on to say how he’s played 80 games and how the club is on the up and that the manager and staff are brilliant.
TGS about time you had that avatar back your other one was shite imhumble i
dont worry about duff imfo not your fault you were only passing on what you thought was right,pity a few more didnt (LST;))
How come Kadar makes the Hungary squad but couldn’t make our bench when we were desperate for a centre-half?
Joey7Barton: ‘Worst trophy lifting I’ve ever seen. How did they manage to ruin that!’
MBB45Official(Balotelli): ‘U worst player I have seen. Simple!’
Whatever your feelings on Mario are you have to ignore them to admit that he’s a lad
Cheers “Auld Derg”
canny read like
http://www.themag.co.uk/tyne-talk/chelsea-won-but-bayern-show-way-forward-for-newcastle/
well do nufc young nufc lads.got that trophy on tyne side soccer seven beat aston villa in final with tavernier as cap!!!!! well done lads!
my reading re Simpson is that he has been offered squad player money cos we have a replacement in mind, and he wants 1st team money as he thinks hes a regular starter.
as to kadar lots of players at the euros who would not make EPL squads.
Ice @ 124
Andy I used to have a lot of time for Joey but he has turned into a fuking gobshite that thinks his opinion is important, Twitter can make some people but can also turn them into fuking muppets
I think the trouble with Simpson is he thinks he is worth more than he is , i also think its disgusting that a person in these financially difficult times would refuse wages of 25 k a week . Which effing planet does he come from , Europe is on the brink of bankruptcy and he thinks he is too good to be accepting these sort of wages and then says he is not greedy . i say fook him and flog him . Outside the top 6 there is no other team that would offer more money but he will find that out for himself when he can choose from the likes of Villa ,Everton or Fulham .
Ice @124 ,yes some food for thought for the big clubs ,it’s going to be interesting to see if and how they get around the new rules .I’m glad we are operating the way we are ,I’m glad we are relatively financialy secure ,moreover if we were to win a trophy or get into top 4 it would be done in a fair way. There is something wholesome and comforting to know you have achieved greatness like that and not from buying the prize . As much as Chelsea and Man city fans are enjoying their respective honors as a fan I would feel worried the bubble would burst at any time the owner got fed up with his plaything.
KIMTOON i tend to agree but it strange how these money “folk” can get round things
I wonder if Chelsea do shit in the league and get knocked out of the CL early next season whether Abramovich will get bored with them and leave, resulting in the liquidation of Chelsea.
Axel the worlds economic climate doesn’t really concern footballers, and im sure it didn’t concern Tiote or Krul when they resigned their contract which I would bet was on better money so why should Simpson, I don’t think he is the best RB in the prem but imo he is far better than most people think he is .
what wage is he on 
He has been an ever present in the last couple of season and has helped us get a Europa league spot this season because he has saved us in a few games. As for no other team outside the top 6 paying him more than us how do you know that
Kimtoon I would bet my house that the big clubs WIL get around the new rules as for playing fair I don’t think well get any benefits from trying to play fair when the ones we are up against are doing what ever it takes
DAVE thats twice you have bet your house,batty cannot keep bailing you out mind
Ice thats a bet i’ll never lose as they big boys wont live by them rules, they have too much money and power
i agree mate
Yeah Dave I think he gets way too much criticism. With Saylor being injured for the majority he’s been our second best defender this year, a job made tougher by playing behind HBA.
Also I think he’s arguably the best RB outside the “old” top 6. Okay we may need to get someone with the potential to be better, but doesn’t justify the flak he gets imo.
BIG Dave
The reasoning behind the no other team outside the top six is simple , none of them have the money . Its time to face facts , football clubs unless they have a rich sugar daddy ie Citeh , Chelsea or liverfool are facing bankruptcy if they keep forking out the mega bucks . Just ask Leeds , Pompey or Rangers fans . Even Manure have curtailed their spending the last couple of seasons . As for Simpson , on the field yes he gets more flak then he deserves and he has helped us move back into the european places , but he ain’t all that . The lad is good for a lower to mid table side as first choice but we are now at a stage when he should be a squad player and not first choice .Krul and Tiote are first choice players ,but i bet even they are earning less than Chelsea’s or Citeh’s reserves and not much more than Simpson has been offered .If your very good it strengthens your position in contract talks , Simpson is above average but certainly not Very good . The reported 25k a week is a wage where you can sit back and think i am loaded and no more money troubles if spent properly .
Dave ,I think someone pointed out a while back that we might even see a break away super league ,I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see it happen. What do you think?
On Simmo It’s reported he’s been offered £25k ,I don’t know what the others are on in comparison but I should imagine there are one or two on a lot more.Thing is it depends what the club and he think he’s worth and if they can meet each other half way perhaps. He’s as you say not the best in his position but has done a good job for us mostly and I would like him to stay .The thing is Carr and co may have someone better lined up who they are willing to pay more to but would like Simmo to stay as back up .If he’s not keen to do that or fight to regain the slot then he’s better off moving on .It’s the same with Guthrie another player I would be sad to see leave as he too has done well when called upon.
Axel the point im making is your saying that no other club outside the top 6 could afford him but you don’t know what he is getting so how do you know they couldn’t afford him
I would be certain that he is not on anywhere near £25 k a week now when you consider when he signed the contract, so the stories floating about now that he has been offered £25k a week are the same as the stories about the players we’re trying to sign and the ones we’re going to have to let go, just BS made up stories.
KIMTOON Guthrie imo is a match for Tiote and did very well when he stepped in for him . With European games back and Tiote on ACON duties again we are going to miss Guthrie .With Tiote i always have a feeling we are on the verge of having 10 players on the park .
Axel he’s certainly a match for most though.
Santon is yet to fully settle, do we want that situation with both flanks next year?
If we can’t get Debuchy then I am keen on signing Clyne, it means Simmo will be first choice for the time being, Clyne can settle and has the potential to be better.
Latter half of the season CB was the problem not Simmo. He was playing next to Willo and HBA, could hardly have been given less to work with.
Could Guthrie yet sign a contract? Surely with our new formation his direct competition is Jonas, and I’m sure Guthrie would back himself in fighting for the place of centre mid over a winger (unless we sign someone new).
Axel @ 140 I agree with that 100% Guthrie is a very under-rated player but one that I think deserves 1st team footie so I can understand if he goes, imo there is some players that are suited to back up but some that are wasted on the bench I think Guthrie is wasted there.
BIG DAVE your right , they could afford him on the wages he is on now but would he get much more than he is on now if he moved? i honestly believe the teams outside the big spenders are all paying much the same wages for players .Some even less than us perhaps , i am then thinking about Norwich ,Wigan Swansea .IMO he is not good enough for the big spenders (fergie did get rid of him for a reason ) thus has no chance of the big money they get . He should maybe accept that and be happy and proud to play for us and get a wage that us mere mortals can only dream of .
TGS… I thought you may of had a hand in it when you posted you’d heard the same at work and as I knew you know Troy, nowt wrong with people saying stuff on here about what “they’ve heard” like you say it’s what blogs are for. I know a couple of lads who work at St James’ and they often tell me stuff but both say to take it with a pinch of salt as they reckon only 4 or 5 people at the top actually know what’s going on, the rest of the employees deal with rumour, gossip and the odd overheard snippet of managerial conversation. The only time it pisses me off is the people who just blatantly make stuff up for a bit of attention.
p.s You owe me a beer
ST what I heard about Guthrie is that he is too quiet and is not the type of player to rap Pards door to ask questions, and it sort of proved the point that he was in the team and doing very well and had the shirt but as soon as Cabaye was back Guthrie was dropped straight away, I could have understood if Guthrie had of started the game then was subbed for Cabaye to come on but wasn’t and Cabaye imo was poor for his 1st 3-4 games when he came back in.
Personally I hope Simmo stays, yep he’s not the greatest but he’s a decent player who gives his all and actually wants to stay and be prepared to fight for his place if we sign another fullback, that’s what we need if we are to improve as a squad and a team.
Ref Guthrie, as Dave says, he’s a different kettle of fish, he wants to play as first choice and he knows that just isn’t going to happen here so if he leaves, which seems likely good luck to the lad.
BIG DAVE spot on ie Guthrie leaving , the lad will walk into just about every other teams first 11 . I honestly think he is better than Barry at Citeh , it would not have bothered me if he stayed and we flogged Tiote for Mega money . Not that i am slagging Tiote , he is good .
Axel on Tiote I like him and know that he is a top class player but when he gets booked early on in a game it takes 50 % of his game away and a 50% chance that we will finish with 10 men, the lad seems to be slow to learn that its football not UFC. Willo is another that doesn’t seem to learn only he thinks he is on dancing on ice or old fashioned grappling.
@Dave yeah I could see that, he must have been a bit disillusioned by the whole situation. Like most people, would be gutted to see him go, but fully understand. Can understand why Simmo would want to go for footballing reasons as well, though judging by his quotes that doesn’t seem to be the case.
BIG DAVE it’s a wonder Willo has not give more penalty’s away ,it shows that some ref’s are as blind as a bat . The lad just cuddles his opponents to death . i reckon Pardew would let him leave for any half decent offer .
Axel @140 yes I agree Guthrie did well covering for Tiote ,I’ve said that previously .
Solano @141 If we are talking mid/f positions is that not where this Amalfitano we are linked to plays ,as att/mf .He wouldn’t replace Tiote who’s a d/mf ,so we would still need a d/mf if Tiote left ,so he must be cover for Cabaye then? .
i think one or two teams that went down might just try a sneaky bid for wilo and he will go to imo,as they wont keep all there players,wolves come to mind
Ice @ 152 I hope your right
although I wouldn’t mind him staying as back up because I can’t see us getting enough players in to cover.
Axel thank fuk he dosn’t need to give pens away sure he scores enough ogs
if you took his ogs away we would have been higher
Link for the final against Villa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtWwy3g1z-U
Cheers Joe i’ll watch that now before I go
Debucy didn’t start or even in squad for Lille tonight
Tavernier looks the only one good enough for the first team. It would be a shame if he is poached by another club. It’s a no brainer, sell Simpson, sign a LB, promote Tavernier to first team and he will get cup games next season. We will have screwed up if we lose Tavernier, he already defends and go’s forward better than Simps.
LST you dropping hints mate
Djg…pards has already said that tavernier is in his plans for next year. I rate him
Ice, that article from themag was great. Encouraging stuff when looked at from that perspective. Although, I don’t think FPP rules are going to be that strict after seeing the “sponsorship deals” at ManCity and now QPR with Tony Fernandes’ company
Good form for owning up TGS
He should be burned at the cross 
However I still hold Troy responsible for perpetuating lies and abetting in the deception of fellow bloggers
tavernier is still only 20 maybe another loan spell in championship or first team football,pards recons he is as good if not better than simmo i recon next season will see him more involved, unless anouther prem club snaps him up
Fulham being “linked” with a move for Simpson
Balls on the FA for removing this video!
