midds

Only having ago at him because he's a cockney.

Palace after Gomis....

"Davide Santon's midfield performance [against Chelsea] . . . forget about what it looked like to the naked eye, his stats were very good, which is great news. It gives us a player we can put in there now. I mean, it's unreal what he gets away with saying.

Probably fat as well.

Should have been evident, en masse, 2 years ago tbh.

Pin in a phonebook stuff from the rags. It's just complete guesswork.

We buy them to sell them on. Full stop. Barmy to suggest we'd exchange a current 'prospect' for an older, former prospect we've already cashed in on. It's a bullshit scenario that's been invented because Sissoko's currently in Paris.

Must admit he does seem a little isolated and vulnerable at the minute. He's lost Llambias, Kinnear and now Pardew over the last year or so and he could well become the sole focus of the fans' anger if things continue to go tits up on the park. Not suggesting he gives the first shit about the prospect of abuse from the stands but he's got no-one to hide behind now. He's on his own pretty much.

Wonder what the reaction would have been like had we lost at home rather than down there.

They never came up, did they?

I assume it's a rolling thing with the deadline being 31st Jan again but I'm sure the Feb payment that wet out a day or 2 previous to this post was the last of the year.

Cancel it (the DD) after the final payment has left his bank and he's good til the end of the season. Think the last one comes out on Feb 1st?

I know he ticks a lot of boxes for Ashley but at the end of the day he'll lose a fortune in exposure and revenue if the bloke he picks takes us down which still could happen. It would take a holocaust of results and performances but the evidence is there that this bloke could indeed go on a run which puts under threat of relegation. I wouldn't put him in charge of the fucking chip-run let alone in charge of my multi-million pound investment. (I know, I know, Kinnear..)

Stupid thing is that he's not even from London.

He said Colback has done his hamstring on the wireless like. Did he say how long he would be out for? Hamstrings are normally a month.

It's because folk are so entrenched into believing we've got to play at least 2 in the middle to protect the other 4 defenders and the keeper, regardless of the opposition, that it's become the natural default opinion? The negativity and cowardice is now widespread and playing a 4-2-3-1 basically means 4-5-1. One up front and the rest tucking in and holding 'the shape'. It's fucking bollocks.

Williamson, Gouffran, Elliott and Colback will be crying into their beer tonight. The new bloke, when he eventually comes in, will see them for exactly what they are and peddle the pricks out of town. Hopefully.

Fucked this right up.

Fuck it, 2-2 and a replay? Who knows/cares*? *Delete as appropriate

Refuse to waste another glass of whisky on the useless cunt, fuck him.

He's built for the Premier League and if he goes to another PL team then he'll go for more than Cabaye did imo. A good footballer with power, pace and stamina will always be at a premium and I can see him going this window, it's almost as if he's upped his game (playing him in his proper position has helped obviously) in the way Cabaye played himself into a move this time last year. It was only a matter of time before he moved on anyway, "27 points on the board with 18 more fixtures to go? - fuck it, you can go mate, you've served your purpose. Enjoy your career." This is where we are as a club.

Twelfth though and won some games of recent so they best not complain, ungrateful bastards. To be serious though, 11 goals in 20 games is fucking pathetic. Only the top 4 have conceded fewer. They're not shit they're just tight at the back. etc.

Tony Gale 1-0 Stevie G
