Sorry Skirge, going a bit off topic there but what are you trying to say in your sig? I can't make grammatical sense of it

That ballboy's Twitter The youth of today man.

Canny news, bienvenue Yoan

My Arsenal supporting mate being one of them - he pretty much wrote him off after a few games.

I suggested to my manager (Preston fan) today that Preston should take Sammy on loan. He rejected my suggestion straightaway Sammy isn't rated in my office.

Agree with every single word there. Williamson is clearly a limited player but he always gave it his all and has always been the constant professional. Yes he is a 4th choice CB at best at a club like this but I'm pretty much happy for him to stay at the club for the foreseeable future.

Fair play to Bradford. Massive fair play, don't care much for the city but that is a mighty achievement...League Cup finalists man

I'm much prefer to see Marveaux start like.

Well then, I'm just going to have a lie down.

Two years in the waiting. Finally!

Now that the players we need look to be on their way, it really is make or break time for Mr Pardew.

Fantastic :D

The longer this drags on, the more confident I am of him staying here (until May at least).

Just had a bit of a read of the Bordeaux page on Facebook, the Bordeaux fans are not pleased whatsoever. Sounds as if they're selling off their assets.

Canny news Some added depth to our attacking options, at least!

Well done BBC. Finally, someone in that organisation who has a brain.

Just because he has a similar complexion, haircut and cam from the same French club? Come off it! Obertan wasn't even playing first team football in France, never mind scoring almost a goal every other game the last year and a half. When I first saw Gouffran play (which was over 3 years ago tbf), I really wasn't impressed. Good on him for his recent bit of form though.

Gouffran strikes me as a bit of an Obertan mark II. Having said that, Gouffran's form has been decent of late (and from what I've seen of him, he does seem have a better footballing brain than Obertan) so I'd be all for him signing as a squad player (especially if it is a low fee).

Well then, if we sign Mbiwa, Haidara, Sissoko and Gouffran, all in the same week...don't think I would be able to contain my excitement. Would certainly make my week. Howay then, let's get them all over the line, especially the Mbiwa deal (first and foremost).

Bring back Peter!

Made my feelings about him known at work today. Everyone thought I was crazy (though that's nowt new).

Good thing I missed out on all this madness.

Nobody does fence sitting better than Sifu The Great Fence of Sifu I like that. Has a nice ring to it. Seriously though, I've had enough of Pardew - I've gone beyond my endurance/tolerance level.

Looks like he's staying. Uh oh. If he turns it around then fair play but that looks very unlikely - in short, we're fucked.

Don't...
