Have watched Lyon a few times this season but didn't really notice him although the team as a whole were playing some fantastic football. Sounds like a good player, no excuses for not getting him in and as usual it sounds as if it is coming down to an extra million or two.

We are the 8th best in the league! We SHIT on all those below us.

Small treble on QPR, Arsenal and Reading -1.

Think this thread should be locked after that, there's no way back.

The next generation of fans will accept mediocrity as the norm. Sad state of affairs. Don't think I'm as old as you dinosaurs but I agree with yous. It's fucking dire.

Can totally see this.

What do you mean "within their grasp" though? They've done well so far, nobody could deny that. But would they put themselves into massive debt to go from 10th to 4th? I just think sometimes how brilliant other clubs are is massively exaggerated on here. But meh. Interesting to see if Man Utd or Chelsea manage to get Luke Shaw as well. Not sure why you would compare clubs the size of Swansea and Southampton with a club the size of us?

Good post Minhosa, totally agree.

6 goals in Germany in a season and a half. Not seen much of him at all, what do people think of him?

Shola has got this, it's got a Shola goal written all over it after all this.

Out of all cups, in pretty much the perfect position in the league and now a massive profit again in transfer fees. Fucking class season for this man.

Aye alright. Not like he's been trying to flog him for the best part of 18 months. It's like the summer never happened.

Just had the same thought when I posted that, doesn't look good for him with that injury. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2514642/Aston-Villa-boss-Paul-Lambert-admits-Charles-NZogbia-long-way-return.html And Poyet was linked with him in Jan.

Late bid for N'Zogbia?

Tim Krul. Could be, might try Tiote again now he's hit a bit of form.

Look lads, he saved us, ok? It is his money and without him we would probably have ceased to exist......

He's actually been fairly quiet this window compared to the constant sales pitch we were hearing during the summer. Well in though Pards, you are doing your boss proud.

Lovely stuff.

Messi assisting like fuck since he came back from injury.

Barca HT/FT. 1.57 odds, fair chunk on.

The shiteness of this game is not helping my hangover.

Mystery injury coming in the next couple of days no doubt.

Fair bit on >1.5 goals in Real Madrid game, 1.55 odds.

Dortmund looking ropy at the back, just let in a 2nd to Augsburg.
