Don't really mind Fulham either. Having said that, I don't really care about their result tonight.

Still, we're the only club to have successfully scored a penalty against Man U/at Old Trafford this season (so far anyway)

This Aaron Lee's tweets

I hope you've set him straight.

The article also says that we're the ideal club to revive Ciani's career, citing Ben Arfa and Obertan as examples (talented French players not having the best of times football-wise at a previous club).

Meh

Stoke lose 3-1.

Expected that to happen tbh. But as long as it's moving in the right direction, then should be fine.

So have Bolton and Blackburn but I wouldn't turn my nose up at Cahill or Samba True. EDIT: Just had a quick read through that article, sounds like Ciani is a player who is currently out of form and is lacking in confidence. He's also been out of the first team picture for 2 months now (that is, he's no longer a starter for Bordeaux)

Problem is though Bordeaux have been shite this season

Big physical CB. Canny tbh.

He's brilliant but off the field we really don't need him, a lot better watching from the outside. yeah, 8 goals in 11 appearances in the league, we dont need him Completely missing the point. I'm not, i'm just disagreeing with you. You are like, as Ronaldo pointed out just after your post. Yes he is often brilliant on the field, he can also be a liability and that's not to mention what he gets up to off the field. For City he is one of a few top strikers, we couldn't afford to rely on him, imo. That is not in any way doubting his ability. I would feel the same if we signed the forever homesick Tevez who is also one of the best, if not the best forward in the league. I just don't think we are the right club to handle these types of players. Agreed. Considering the occasional circus we've had at the club in the last few years or so (NUFC being in the news for completely the wrong reasons), Balotelli's ego is the last thing we need really. Honestly don't think we'll be able to manage him effectively as well.

this basically, their collective stonk on over this is so cringeworthy it just smacks of a massive inferiority complex Yep.

Huh didn't realise Fuller still plays for Stoke.

Ah right! Completely misread FenhamMag's post.

I guess....

Interesting. Though I do have something to say about that, start Ben Arfa on the wing man. Can't be reiterated enough! Dropping Obertan could be the kick up the arse he needs. By doing so, it'll be Pardew saying that "your place isn't guaranteed" - could very well ignite Obertan into bucking up his ideas in the end.

I'll give you one thing CT, Fergie is decent enough backup for the left side be it on the wing or full back.

EDIT: Completely fair enough like.

I'm going to take a stab at Ole Soderberg??

Great to see. Definitely

Hmmm, that is a bit picky from Simpson like. The main thing in the end is being paid which will happen so can't see what the problem is Surely that depends on exactly what the issue is, which we don't know. Indeed.
