Like I said in my post on the previous page, there might actually be some substance in this theory that Best will thrive being the "main man". Have to wait and see I guess.

Not getting my hopes up (because of Lyon's asking price) but I would love Cissokho here. £8 million is too steep, Ashley wouldn't even pay that much for a striker (these days anyway) so why would he sanction £8 million for a LB? Guess it's down to Llambias and his excellent negotiation skills to haggle them down to £5/6 million. Oh wait.....

? Basically we were linked with him a lot in the summer and we were "close" to signing him (personal terms were apparently agreed and all that). In the end, nothing happened which was annoying considering the amount of "news" going on about him being close to signing for us.

There's that name Erdinç again

Nowt wrong with Martinez really. He's doing his best with what are shit players.

It's nice to see him doing well in the PL.

He really loves going to Fenwicks. 90% of Jonas sightings occur in Fenwicks. Stick close to the sushi counter to catch a glimpse of this rare species in his natural habitat.

He really loves going to Fenwicks.

Think there's something in this actually. When Carroll left (or when he got injured in January), Best more than stepped up to the plate, scoring a hat trick against West Ham and then going on a canny goalscoring run until he unfortunately got injured. At the start of this season, Ba didn't have the best of starts and consequently Best was still the "main man" and so we relied on him to score the goals which he did. So using this theory, I wonder what will happen when Ba sets off for the ACoN..........will Best suddenly hit top form? (would be very nice if he did like) Hmmm.

Nah, we wore it against QPR (0-0). But I guess you can say that we have an unbeaten record with the black kit

I can see it being mixed really. Though I suspect the majority will be boos

I would agree that those would be the 3 clubs. If West Ham get promoted and he is still not performing for Liverpool, then I can them coming in for him especially as he has the same agent as Allardyce and Nolan. Not sure what kind of funds QPR actually have and if they could afford to buy him, but I could see him on loan there for the rest of the season reuniting him with Barton. Stoke would love him but could they afford him? Can really see him going to West Ham if they get promoted. Firstly, Allardyce's tactics will suit him and secondly he'll be reunited with Nolan again. Watch the goals go in

Pardew must have been gutted by the rejection.....

Good news. Hope the lad starts (it's going to be Raylor isn't it? )

On reflection, nothing really

Phil Dowd and Howard Webb today.

Must have been Keane's fault

Didn't know he moved to Ipswich!

I didn't pay much attention to the Football League today

Bah, realised my mistake so deleted my post. Too late

It is quite ridiculous
