Get ready for the doomboys saying we'll be relegated because we could only score one in the second half vs crewe! Bet they become one of those fickle football fans now and start joining us lot with the endless praise of the team because we won. I stick by what I have said, other than a bit of confidence for the goal scorers, especially benteke, we haven't gained that much more than the other games this pre-season.

Been pretty impressed with bacuna in preseason, think he may replace delph in the starting 11 for arsenal. Utv
Finch

He does look very good, and he can literally play most positions, the only positions I wouldn't risk playing him are centre back and goalie. I even think he'd make a good striker if he was next to somebody big and strong like benteke!

Looking forward to seeing him now
If Lambert could do for the midfield what he did for the forward line with the bargain signing of Benteke, we could have a season to enjoy

It was never going to be an easy first few weeks of the season but now the Chelsea game has been put forward how hard?!
I am feeling positive after year of hell for me & three months in hospital with meningitis. the last few months of the season doubled up with our new recruits & contract re-signers has kept me smiling! I am going for a return of 5 points!
Arsenal 1-1
Chelsea 1-1
Liverpool 2-0
yeah its hopeful but why be negative & I would actually take 4 points and have two very tough away fixtures out the way! Then roll on November/December as apart from Manchester United every game is winnable!
Come on you lions!!

Could be a productive few days for the plus side of the bank account. well some savings at least!
Nzogbia - Hull/Palace
Bent - Newcastle
Bannan- Blackburn
Given/Laziest player ever Ireland - Doncaster
Delfouneso- Reading
Hutton- Mallorca
I failed my gcse maths but by my calculations that's roughly 12-14 mill in transfer fees & a saving of 100k a week on loans (assuming we still pay some of the wages, unless we do just pay off the man who's nan is always ill!)
. and a total saving of at least 280-300k a week in wages
Then we can get signing a RB, DM & a AM and please Mr Lerner is it too much to ask for Bafetimbi Gomis too? I won't ask for anything for my birthday or Christmas!

One of my pals is a boro fan and he told me when we signed Bennett he couldn't defend for toffee but was great coming forward a winger in the making there I do believe
