  1. By the looks of the squad list posted on Twitter by Caulkin Cisse was in the squad but pulled out (Bird says he's ill).
  2. Full squad: Abeid, Amalfitano, Sa. Amoebi, Sh. Amoebi, Anita, Bigirimana, Cisse, Elliot, Ferguson, Gosling, Harper, Marveaux, Obertan, Perch, Santon, Taylor, Tavernier, Vuckic and Williamson.
  3. Love Harper for the way he's stayed loyal to the club but surely Tim Krul with a dodgy elbow could have done better for second goal.
  4. Really don't know what to think about that game. On one hand we were very lucky with the disallowed/not seen goals but on the other we missed two really good chances (Cisse first half + Ben Arfa second half) that could have swung the game in our direction. Either way I'm ecstatic with a point after that horrific first half.
  5. Where'd you read/see/hear that? Looked to me like he was going to come on for Cabaye when he was injured but then Cabaye stayed on. Obertan was certainly changed and ready to go anyway.
  6. Really like the look of our side. It's also a nice change to have two striking options on the bench.
  7. Please stop bumping this thread.
  8. Have to hope the group stages improve the quality. Both of the games against Atromitos have been mind numbingly boring.
  9. Which is why I'd not play Tav, as they seemed to spot him as our weak point. Would probably play Raylor and Santon as full backs but I thought after the goal Tav got to grips with Epstein.
  10. Very frustrating if nobody else comes in but there is part of me that's happy that we clearly know who we want and aren't going to panic buy people who we haven't scouted. That said I'd kill for us to sign Debuchy.
  11. Not sure whether to play my wildcard this week or next. I've go three players with no game in week 3 (2 Reading + 1 Chelsea) so will have to change before that. Would rather hang on another week and see how season develops but I've got Aguero (injured), Sinclair (probably won't play) and Lucas (picks up bookings + is up against Man City) all in my team who I'd like to get rid of.
  12. Guessing Ba and Cisse are fit as Campbell is in the squad for the U21s tomorrow.
  13. Crazy that he turned down Spurs because they weren't offering him enough money to go to Southampton.
  14. I'd prefer 4-3-3 but I reckon we'll see: Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Santon Jonas Cabaye Anita Marveaux Ba Cisse
  15. Molde or Lokeren would be ideal really. Not far to travel and very winnable.
  16. As many as you want, 10% max. How does that work with the Pozzo(?) family who own Udinese, Granada and now Watford?
  17. I'd be surprised. I honestly don't think Pardew would have any problem with playing Simpson or R.Taylor at RB.
  18. Would be class if someone managed to beat PSG to the title again this year. Can't see it happening though.
  19. Mata Oscar Hazard Torres Of the 8 that make up both of those front lines only half have ever kicked a ball in the Premier League and two of them have never played in Europe. A little bit early to be saying how great they are before they've even proven themselves in the league.
  20. This. Think it's great that the club captain goes down to watch the development squad. Shows real class.

    U23s & Academy

    Not sure if it's been posted already but there is a piece in the Times this morning saying the Premier League have decided to accelerate the introduction of the Elite Player Performance Plan and introduce new U21 and U18 Elite leagues this season. We will be playing in the Elite league (17 Premier League clubs (QPR, Swansea + 1 other who I can't remember aren't of sufficient standard) + 6 Championship clubs). The Elite League will start with a Group stage (3 groups - 1 of seven teams and two of eight) which will last until Christmas. If I remember correctly at U21 level you'll only be able to field 3 over-age players + over-age goalkeeper.
  22. Let's hope the article is true. Would be fantastic if it is.
  23. Surely Arsenal will sell him to Juve rather than City/United?
  24. Twitter thread? The account just looks like a bunch of fake rumours.
