You've definitely improved. Find myself laughing at a lot of your witty tidbits these days. Felt it was time to give you some credit.

Even Hitler was upset at his Gran dying. Hitler was dead for many, many years before Pieters nan died. When did you get funny, btw?

Really?

Finally starting to get recognised a bit more by outsiders. People at work down here still think he's shit though. Morons.

Maybe they think he's better than Cisshoko/will be more suited to us?

Fulham are due a beating up here. Always seem to have shitty frustrating games against them. Fucking Mark Crossley.

Unless we get a new forward in I'd concur. Can see Maiga being a deadline-day thing if he is the real target, despite the latest comments. Have had the feeling for a while about him. Shola won't get dropped and Ba needs minutes, hopefully he'll be coming in from a goal at Scunny.

He's cack on FIFA, but decent on FM. No idea what to make of him.

I'd just be happy to go back to the team from the Arsenal game, with a proper left-back in there hopefully. Fulham won't control the possession like they did and we should be able to make a chance or two for Ba and Shola.

What the fuck was that decision all about? Referees, man.

Have to say I was enjoying MOTD analysis for once until Big John's starting calling Dzeko "Deco". Felt dirty thinking it during the game, but both Barry and Milner were very, very good.

Great St. Bernadette's minds think alike and all that. Would have to be an old school iPod mind, no way are you getting off with a Shuffle.

Where's Neil when you need him? The gender reassignment thing. It's in his signature.

That's my one, you poof.

Was tempted to include Pistol Pete, but will hold off flogging him until we've got another one "in the building" (fucking hate that quote, btw).

Andre Ooijer has 55 caps for Netherlands, being a regular for them doesn't necessarily mean you're ace. Aye, fully appreciated that, but we're not exactly class ourselves. Was more commenting on how most of us haven't seen enough of either to judge anything, but all would seem to prefer Cissokho based on price, reputation and computer games.

Aye, Simpson was the obvious one given the latest rumours. The other one possibly Barton/Colo.

Warnock said he reckoned they'd get four or five players by the end of the window. Just can't see one of them being Barton though. Would be horrible. I may be getting a bit optimistic here, but I would hope one of those players is one of our shitty expendables. Thought the same last night. Get some Premiership experience in Neil. Get Alan Smith. Or James Perch. Why not go crazy and get both?

Pardew said in the post-match quotes (or pre-match) that the club were working on two contracts at the moment. Hopefully one is Colo.

It's mad that like a few others have suggested I too will be disappointed if we end up with the Dutch first-choice left-back instead of Cissokho. We are spoilt brats.

Aye, the mask will start slipping again soon though. Some fair points in amongst some shite. About as good as we can hope for from someone who's blatantly inbred.

Probably just based on the Pardew quotes that have surfaced elsewhere tonight.

Just started randomly stamping in the build-up to it. Would be class.

Go on Pards. Cissokho and Maiga this week and I'm off the reservation.
