I only half saw the Bunn incident, his arms were up but his team is from norfolk, so I don't even know why we let them play in the premier league in the first place.

Please be true. Our second rumored away kit - looks so much better than our previously rumored one

Looks quite nice, that could mean that all of my favourite teams have white as a kit colour, along with black.

Now, that's a nice kit.

Get used to it, because we are all but certain of a third season up there.

Looks like I was definitely wrong about Hughton taking them down, so fair play to him on that front. They have an incredibly average squad/team, so he's done a pretty good job really.

They've done incredibly well to keep us up, especially after the change of manager. Most of them are League One players, not even Championship, and players few had heard of before from small French clubs and the MLS.

Investment will be needed if we are to push on from here. Hopefully, this is true: Norwich City agree ?10m deal for Ricky van Wolfswinkel, say Portuguese press - Norwich City - Pink Un - Norwich City Football Club News

Arsenal at 20th and yet consistently above Liverpool in the league...

 

[Epic]

Aston Villa.

 

[barmyarmy]

Maybe Wenger does know what he's doing

 

[Bevab]

Aston Villa.

Those O'Neill years certainly did affect them a bit, although he did sell a lot of players for heavy sums later on.....

 

[Lee1981]

Thought Newcastle would have been higher for some reason.

Just shows what a good job Ashley has done

 

[ste_mc_efc]

Wenger and Moyes out though, obviously.

So did I The Andy Carroll sale must have helped quite a bit Actually if you take that out of the equation we are 10th

What do you think of West Ham getting the Olympic Stadium? Will they fill it? If not, the atmosphere will be like those awful mid-nineties England friendlies at the Old Wembley.

What about the intimidation factor that always comes with tight grounds like Upton Park - that's gone. And then there's the fact West Ham are only putting ?15m into it, while a large chunk of the rest of the costs are being forced on the taxpayers - and we're not all West Ham fans.

Why didn't they design the stadium with football in mind to start with??
