Oh, still should be interesting though. Hope Lowes and co. have a few good questions.....

Will have to catch this on iPlayer later on.

Thanks for that assessment GG. Wouldn't mind him here the more I think about it.

Well, first team football awaits (more than likely).

Can't see us making a move for Cissokho this month tbh. If he's still available in the summer, that's when we'll make our move imo.

I've just watched that again as I hadn't seen it in years, it's so bad. Howay man, Lennon headbutted Shearer's boot on purpose! (Nah, that was properly bad from Shearer. Should have been punished for that. Got to be said that his role as England captain saved him from any sort of sanction really).

I'm liking the sound of that. One thing we could do is, sign him up permanently and then loan him out to FC Groningen/another team in the Dutch League for a season? (Just a thought).

Blackburn, Villa and us apparently keeping taps on him. Promising centre half who can also play right back. Played his first U21 for Holland this past november. Very raw, but would be an interesting player in the Vuckic/Abeid mould. but for defense. Sounds good

Interesting, certainly fits in with our transfer policy. (No idea what's he like though as a player/defender).

Ben Arfa was doing the French Cup draw so wasn't there today. Didn't see Colo in any of the pics mind.

Cleverley is a promising player imo. Pity he got injured really, was looking good from what I saw.

On bail until 21st March.

Brighton's Owen bid! Regarding the RVP and Wenger story, whilst we don't know what goes on behind the scenes, I reckon there's no conflict as such between the two. But wouldn't be surprised if RVP is becoming frustrated with Arsenal's progress this season.

5th is a failure for them. Plus, if anything happens to RvP, they won't finish 5th. Yep, it's 4th or bust for Wenger really. (Imagine if they somehow won the Champions League this year though ).

Fools.

First I've heard this. Lee Ryder must have been bored.

Last home strip I bought was the 07-09 one. Quite liked that one tbh.

Yep, that's the right call.

Actually, that's a fair point. Which other club/site would do what RAWK did? One thing I don't understand - a few people have said that he should only get sacked if he gets a custodial sentence. That sounds like you're saying that it doesn't matter if he's guilty or not, but does matter if he gets put away and can't manage the team. Or do you think that by getting put away it automatically becomes a grave enough offence to warrant the boot? It will be interesting to see how the media treats him afterwards. Weirdly, if he stays on but loses his media jobs and shuts up a bit more, he might actually become a better manager. You know that's simply not going to happen as long as he's in the game.....

Source?

Probably the end of it then. Can see us slightly upping our bid (an extra 500k possibly), if that doesn't do it (or Watford are really insisting that our bid should be £5million), have to look elsewhere I guess. Lewis Dunk has also been mentioned in the Chronicle today like.

That's what I was getting at really. If it turns out our defence is being destroyed by pace, could bring on Mariappa for Willo to combat the threat more effectively. If we do sign Mariappa, I'd still like Coloccini and Wililamson to be our first choice CBs though.

Would be a good plan really.

Even if Real win La Liga this season, can see Mourinho leaving at his own discretion tbh.

Great news that. Would be a welcome return
