The one stat that matters is that we are 3 points from safety with half a season left and arguably more ability to improve our squad than those around us. I'll tell you how confident I feel when I see our line up for Watford.

So it's very much open to corruption then.

If they'd been at Spurs they'd sing Arsenal songs. They think it winds up home fans instead it makes them look, well, a bit daft.

"It's ridiculous but it explains" translates to "its an excuse they've came up with after"

His departure is as good as sealed.....not his destination.

Neither would Willie McFaul.

The way these things work with Man city is, if you cast your minds back to Tiotes goal, within a few weeks they scored when their player stepped over the ball whilst offside, so fully expect them to get a pen in the next few weeks for someones arm getting brushed when he has his back to the ball, 40yds away at the opposite end of the box to where the ball is. Probable red as well.

We should put it to the test if we are ever in the position to, you know 3 up in the last minute get the ball to our defender in the box and wipe out a forward 5....10yds away and claim "but we had the ball".

You'd also think it's possibly easier to achieve that at "elite" clubs.

Precisely. I've no idea of his standing in the game or even what his exact role is. It's hard enough keeping track on players, coaches and managers without needing in depth knowledge of upstairs like some obviously do

Re the TAA tackle on Fraser, regardless if he gets the ball or not his trailing leg has to go through the attacker from behind. Not too long ago they were red cards.

I start work at 3 and made no effort to swap shifts.

Fiorentina 2-0 down at home to Sassuolo and Vlahovic misses a free header from 8yds out. His mind is obviously at St James' .

If they have the money up front to purchase and its legal, I dont see the issue. After that they want clubs to be self sustaining don't they ?

Why shouldn't the league let it pass ?

£710 and ten bob club according to the article.

Alternatively, it would be frightening if we played Watford with no new signings.

Not sure how true it was but he was supposed to have wanted Jeffers and Zenden. Bellamy and Robert were second choices.

Not if he, Dummett that is, plays as left of a centre back 3. That's part of the problem., we have too many niche posituon players.

Partially right, it's the DEFENDING, as much as purely the defenders themselves. You can have a great defence, if Its those 4 or 5 against an attacking g 11....they're fucked.

Just found out the window opens Jan 1st, thought it would've been Jan 2nd. Can we register players on the first in time for the Southampton game ?

Really dont see them doing that.

Not really gossip as much as wishing I think.

So drop ASM for Murphy, then leave him out your line up ? That's mean, dropping him for someone you'd not even play.

Didn't we reign it in because it wasn't sustainable ?
