As the day goes on, the more I feel resigned to Barton actually leaving for QPR. Not the best of feelings like. But it is still in the negotiating stages......

I dont think none of us are happy about it, apart from the circus and drama queen nature that follows Joey, that stuff will be not be missed at all, but as a player he is going to be a big miss, his battling will be more missed than his actual football ability for me, he fights for the team, that is hard to replace. I, for one, am not happy at all with today's development.

Brilliant

By putting it this way, I'm slightly more at ease...

Changed my sig to a countdown: 8 days left before the end of the transfer window

Aye!

I've said it before but I'll say it again, I honestly don't mind who we get! Never mind Cissokho and Pieters, at this point I'm pretty damn close to be willing to accept Wayne Bridge. You're at that stage already? I'm refusing to acknowledge Wayne Bridge's existence (for the time being anyway....)

Or 'newly promoted club favoured for relegation'. Nar, I aint buying it. His pride is more important to him.

In for Roque Santa Cruz according to the Mirror.

I think the same. Almost certain to stay here in my eyes.

Not really. Close to, but starting no strikers of any description can't have helped their play. Yeah, forgetting the 2 non-strikers, the other 9 on the pitch most mackems would be jerking for joy over. Great tactics by Bruce then

Full strength team tonight too aye?

Oh yes
