British Expats - The Toon Army / EPL thread

If they get within six points, with three or four games to go, I'm going home for it all. If we win it, there will be 30,000 + in the streets of north London. :thumbup:

Part time supporters :lol:

All credit to Spurs though probably the least hated club by Northerners.
Will Arry be able to keep hold of his squad though?
Bale valuation of 60 million is a bit rich though still a better value than Carroll at 35 mill.
Will Modric stay or go?
Interesting times ahead of the Yids.

We play Manchester City (away), Liverpool (away), Arsenal (away)and Manchester United (Home)in our next six league games.

The other two games within the 6 are Wigan and Newcastle.

If we are still within 3 points of the top after that then anything is possible- we would certainly have the easiest run in.

It's just a question now of getting work on the new ground going as that will really be what determines the long term future.

I agree, why would a player want to leave one of the top three for a lesser team? And the sooner we start on our new ground the better.

Draw sounds like a good idea to me.

Bon chance.

BTW, we've got QPR at home then Fulham and Blackburn away for the rest of Jan. Not (I hope) particularly daunting even without Ba ad Chiote. Yes, I still have a spark of hope left (for the CL not the top).

1-0. Toon are back to sixth. Now if your Swans can just beat Arsenal 4-0 we'll be fifth.

Bon chance!

Isnt own goal now their leading goal scorer seeing as Demba Ba is at the ANC?
Not exactly a convincing win but 3 points is 3 points.

Not quite. After today Best has 4, some distance behind Ba on 15, but edging O'Goal who has three. :)

There you go. Well done the Swans, "the New Arsenal" according to the grauniad. :thumbup:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread

Excellent news today. It seems that Toon have signed Demba Ba's Senegalese international strike mate from Freiburg for a reported 10M euro.

Papiss Demba Cisse scored 22 goals last season in the Bundesliga and has notched 9 in the first 15 games this season. He's 26 and has a real goal scorer's first touch.

I'm rather happy.
