Mowen

Reluctant keep. I wish I didn't think we had to keep him, but we probably do. Also can't see anyone paying even reasonable money so will be hard to offload anyway.

nike pro shorts mate, have to be the closest colour to the strip being worn as possible. Cheers.

Team will be unchanged injuries and sales pending imo, hopefully we won't take so long to make substitutions this time. Interesting to see if Ranger coming on the other day means he is ahead of Xisco in the pecking order now.

Baggies fans I met reckoned he was dreadful.

I saw that, it was in the footy supplement for the Times. Think it might even have said £250k plus incentives; it's hardly breadline but fair play to him if true.

Given that he can't get a cross into the penalty area from the wing I don't think he's at the stage of being able to blame the movement.

As was pointed out earlier though, we were pretty pleased that Shola was going off so whoever replaced him was going to be well received. Seemed to have a little cult following mind.

He was shite man. Can't cross and ends up losing the ball almost everytime he gets it. Didn't even look quick.

They'll probably be delighted that they're getting the chance to play alongside him.

Dreadful on Saturday. Worst player on the pitch (if you don't count Sholaface, obviously).

Also, why did Duff have luminous yellow things around his legs? Think gutierrez might have done too.

Just got back from a long weekend away, few random musings on the game. Krul was a bit of a hero, obviously a long way from the finished article but it'll be hard to drop him after that. Thought Jose was the pick of the defenders, looks very strong. Will need to improve going forward if Jonas is going to play like that all year, he was fucking abysmal: disinterested, heavy legged and the worst crosser of a football we've had since Peter Ramage. Shola isn't good enough for this league, his off the ball movement was utterly terrible. Smith looked decent, and could be good enough for this league if he plays alongside someone with a bit of pace and intelligence (i.e. not Nolan). Duff took his goal very well, really good move too. Ranger looked full of running, and fucking massive. Should have got more time. Cracking day out too, some very funny banter with the Baggies who were generally a very funny and friendly bunch. If anyone else was there, the banter at the train station on the platform before heading back into Birmingham was fucking hilarious too I'm so pleased the football has started again.

Setting off in half an hour. Can't fucking wait. BEEEEER. E I E I E I O.

Too fast? You must be kidding. I couldn't take anymore of this rubbish. Delighted the on-field stuff is starting again. For once i agree with Mowen, it's better this just begins and get on with the season, all this takeover talk has pretty much messed up my mind. Howay! New best internet friends!

Who needs Mourinho? We've got our Physio.

Nope, I'm staying well away from accies for 2 or 3 weeks to let the season settle down slightly. Gay. Ooo err. I mean that. Thinking and logic has no place in betting. You get a bit pissed, lob a few quid on and hope for the best. That's gambling.

Sounds quality.

If we release him we still have to pay his wages. Pretend he racially abused Ian Dowie and sack him. Piece of piss.

Who?

I'd really much prefer it if he went to Villa. I don't know why I care really, but for some reason I do.
