It was only Merson to be fair, but I agree with the point. Thompson disagreed with him.

I seen someone on Twitter mention that Pav said in his book we would have won the league in 95/96 if we had of kept Venison. It's an interesting point mind. He was brilliant for us and we could have really done with him in 1996.

That did cross my mind, but you would probably have to leave Ritchie or Diame out to do it. Diame was rested on Tuesday so he will definitely start today. Gayle would have to play wide in the 3 behind Mitrovic though you would expect. I'm not really convinced he would be effective there, but Rafa has spoke of him being able to do it. Diame Perez Gayle Mitrovic

I think Yedlin might come in for Anita, and Gouffran could be rested. With Rafa mentioning Murphy will play on Tuesday, it's interesting to see what happens with Mitrovic today. He has to start today or on Tuesday, but I can't see him starting him alongside Murphy.

Fucking hell man, of course he meant it. The bloke was an absolute genius.

It will probably be Hayden and Perez in them places on Tuesday. If he's planning on rotating the team, then it makes sense to play a couple of the weaker players today, rather than the best XI, then even more of our weak players on Tuesday surely?

Have people not accepted yet that every player is not gonna start every match?

I was thinking he could end up at West Brom before the end of the season.

If they were both 100% fit then Anichebe is the better player, but as far as signings go, Murphy is a better signing for the league we are both in. Anichebe is so injury prone. Their biggest problem is Defoe getting injured, and they haven't exactly gave themselves much security if it does happen.

He's terrible man. I was having a conversation with my mate before the Huddersfield match about strikers we could sign, and he mentioned Anichebe. I couldn't have argued more about what a poor signing he would have been. He has scored 24 league goals in 10 seasons. The mackems have went to town over us signing Murphy, but Murphy scored more league goals than that in one season a couple of years ago. Yes, it's a lower league, but for the league we're in, Murphy is the better signing for us, especially since he will be warming his arse on the bench 90% of the time.

What the fuck is that shit Did they not stop to think why the fuck we would agree to that? I hate this "Levy always gets the best deal" shite, he doesn't. He's overpaid on a number of players that didn't succeed at Spurs. It has been clarified on Twitter. Spurs would pay us £6m for each year of his contract, but if a club buys him before the 5 years if up, its up to Spurs to pay up the remainder of the money owed when sold. So the same as any installments based transfer that has ever happened then. Daft twats. Got to keep that Daniel Levy genius thing up haven't they?

I had one of these telling me last night that we hadn't really made much profit on Sissoko because the £30m is in instalments.

I quite like him from what I've seen, but he's nothing special no. He is very tidy on the ball. It's really hard to tell from limited appearances though.

Hull have paid £13m for Ryan Mason. How the fuck does Levy do it? He won't pay over £15m for Zaha or £20m for Sissoko though.

Fuck you you diabolical human being. I just did that and watched this. Take a look at @AwayDaysVideos's Tweet: https://twitter.com/AwayDaysVideos/status/768852256598949888?s=09 I hope you're happy

Search Tony Pulis on Twitter. Everyone's fucking sick

Diame Hayden Ritchie Sissoko Atsu? Gayle It looks good to me, I just have a feeling Rafa would be more inclined to start Sissoko on the left of that and have him and Ritchie alternating every so often.

I'm interested to know whether Rafa see's Diame as a player he would want in the 2 of his 4-2-3-1. I'm not convinced that Sissoko influences Colback's selection though, unless we were really short of numbers. Especially if we get Atsu and another winger in. Where would Sissoko play if he ended up staying? Ritchie is most effective on the right.

I don't think there's any chance of us getting a centre midfielder in this window now. I share some of the worries in that position, but I think we will probably be fine. Shelvey is frustrating as hell, I just hope he can find some consistency and that should keep Colback out of the team. I would guess if things aren't going well, then that position will be the priority in January, because that seems like the position where we're most vulnerable.

What would Sissoko not playing have to do with Colback starting?

I've noticed Rafa mentions the word experience an awful lot since he has took over. This was probably why he picked Taylor at first, then he realised there was no hope with him. He seems to value experience a hell of a lot.

I have noticed this all summer. Every time we have been linked with a left back, Ryder has stated that we need cover at left back, yet for most other postions he just never uses the word cover. He fucking loves Dummett
