What a connection

Is Yoan pronounced the same as Yohan?

I was going to ask Neil about Jelavic actually. He's looked relatively poor this season. What's up with him? Everton create plenty whenever I watch them, but he can't score for toffee it seems.

Any injuries of that nature I've got have been from trying to bullet the ball too. I actually went for an overhead the other day whilst hungover* and missed the ball entirely It actually hurt a little bit. Like when you throw a cricket ball around for too long and over-extend your muscles? * - even if I wasn't, I probably still would have missed. As I recall, the overhead was literally the last thing he did before turning around and coming off so I'm not sure that could have been the trigger.

This is scraping the barrel, like. He said his groin was tight, not that he was injured. Still, he's the kind of player I'd expect to give his all until he comes off the pitch. It can't really disputed when the player confirms what the manager was thinking. Pardew has said he intended to play him the full 90 based on the work he'd done in training that week. That's the scary part. Wouldn't be the first or last time a player has protected their under-fire manager. It's not "tin foil hat" stuff really. I saw no indication of tightness, and whilst I agree Yohan is the type of full throttle player who would give it his all, I don't believe him to be an idiot who would jeopardise his comeback if he'd already felt something was amiss and had already indicated to the dugout he wanted to come off. Not going to argue in circles about it though.

Who of you would try an overhead kick with a groin injury man? Absolute balls.

Nice of Cabaye to say that (after the game presumably), but that's not what I saw. Could be wrong though.

Cabaye wasn't injured. He'd just done a bloody bicycle kick ffs He also seemed upset at being hooked when he looked across and saw his number up.

What? Don't think all our bids are genuine. You think the clubs plan is to sign all of them listed? Must be really panicking. They are probably all genuine tbf. It's the smart thing to do, as they're not all going to be successful (barring some fortune that has been untypical of our season so far!). We always have the option to retract the bids if the selling clubs all accept them and the players are all keen on the move here. It just makes sense to have a few irons in the fire should any one or more of the deals break down with the end of the window fast approaching. Don't think they're fake bids though

is that a signing or about your lunch making talent ? He didn't "make" it man, keep up. I am actually pretty interested to see if there's a sandwich out of shot. Would be the highlight of my day.

Made?! That's not been made, it's items transferred from one receptacle to another.

Oh my!!

59 after those bonuses. Fellaini, Baines, Walcott and Demel left.

Got in at 4/1. Down to 3/1 now I think. Should have done it before the Reading game really.

I'm afraid JackFlash will have to verify this.

Arsenal 4-0 West Ham

Hi, so I messed up a bit. This fixture was supposed to be included in this GW. Please predict this individually in a separate new post before Wednesday and I'll ensure it comes out in the GW23 wash. Cheers/'pologies Arsenal v West Ham

We got four points off the Manc bastards last season

Good for Spurs And good for my prediction league

Marked out of it with an ease that no actual world class player could be.

Deflol

Defoe complaining about Dempsey being greedy

Basically he's a massive tart. A little harsh, but yes Lots of top players wouldn't put their body on the line to score though. If you want to call yourself a centre-forward in this league you probably ought to though.

Good challenge from Cahill, but Walcott's main flaw as a striker is his lack of aggression to get on the end of those balls in the box.
