Very good money (if the £8m turns out to be anywhere near true) for a 30 year old, way past his best and contributing very little for a long period of time now. He was very, very effective for about a year but unfortunately couldn't (be arsed to?) sustain it. I'm sure him and his wives will love China.

Is it possible to get odds on the 3 teams to go down?

Giroud. Majestic.

Closing in on goal, had at least a few seconds to decide to take a chance and smash it at goal (jesus christ he's only 5 yards away ffs) and he decides he's not brave enough to have a go and waits for minimal contact before collapsing at the Gallowgate End in the hope the ref awards a penalty. That's absolutely fucking shameful, wrong foot or not, to lack the courage to even attempt a shot at goal, point fucking blank, is absolutely horrific stuff. Should be run out of fucking town, the cowardly little wanker.

Draw. At least 2 points are going to be dished out either way, a point each keeps things as they were. That said it's pretty moot if we don't start winning a few to get up and out of the shit.

Pigshit this lad. Weapon's-grade, 24 carat faeces. Gives you nothing, offers nothing to the team and never has done.

Depends what colour shirt you're wearing.

They've found another gear after we've revved the cunt out of it in 3rd.

He's fucking hideous. The spineless little cunt, fuck's sake.

This is where I'm at. I've seen him play really well for Swansea and if he find a bit of form then he'll look excellent for us. Also cautious about the fact the Swansea fans don't seem too bothered and it would appear we were pretty much the only club in for him. Half a Shelvey is better than twice a Colback.

Rooney brace. We're his favourite opposition

1-3

If he can pick the ball up and drive forwards from the middle of the park with a bit of purpose then it's an immediate upgrade. If he can shift the play to either wing and carry his run into the box then we should start to see a bit of improvement going forward. If he can strike a ball from 20-25 yards accurately then opposition will need to be closer to him which should leave space for others to work in. 3 massive ''if's'' there but I'm fed up seeing ponderous, negative, static shite in our CM, it's painful. If this lad can provide a bit of drive and positivity then it could be money well spent. Watch him sign for Palace.

Am I right in thinking Shelvey would be the first player bought from the PL since Obertan? If it happens obviously.

Wish someone would absolutely smash Colback to put him out of the equation.

He's done. Entrenched in the relegation zone (worst position at this stage since we were promoted to the PL), knocked out of the League Cup and FA Cup by Sheff Wed and Watford reserves respectively. Can't score, can't keep clean sheets and he's utterly bereft of ideas as to how to change it. He's had time, he's had patience and he's had investment. He's failed miserably and it'll get worse unless he's sacked. Get him out the door tonight please.

If Exeter are capable of giving Liverpool a good game then we shouldn't be scared of going to Watford tomorrow. Giant-killings DO happen. #believe #3rdroundmagic

‘So the kids hold up one, two or three fingers, depending on the correct answer.’ It’s brilliant, he said, we should do it here at the next game. It works because the kids always win. Their questions are much easier, Alan explained, just in case I thought Florida children are much brighter than their parents. I’ve no knowledge of the Miami schools system, but I’d already guessed that, with no need for any fingers. The more excited Alan became about the brilliant Sea World quiz, the closer he got. He was dribbling with excitement. I hadn’t seen dribbling like it since the days of Eyal Berkovic.' This bit is majestic.

First time I've read that Sea World story. What an absolute cunt, man.

Not sure if Hibbert can still cut the mustard tbh.

When is the deadline for people to decide to chuck/keep their season tickets btw?

Samp 2 up now.

19. Couldn't get the Forest one at the end.

Samp 1-0

Got the image of Derek Wright frantically taking notes on all of these new fangled methods he can use tomorrow.
