Couple of inj and they'll be back to their normal drudgery.

When will teams realise all you have to do is wind Felliani up?

Moyes displaying Wenger levels of moaning.

Soon the team sheets will have who the player is linked to next to the name.

There's been a long musical rivalry.

How old is he? He looks about 30.

I suspect part of his 'disenchantment' is that he didn't get the big money move he was after in the summer. It was pretty clear that the club and his reps were offering him around everywhere. It seems wage demands were a possible sticking point. The sight of his entourage jumping up and down cause he was on the bench for one game is a disgrace. "Ein Spieler streikt, um seinen Wechsel zu erzwingen - so lässt sich die Situation in Hoffenheim zusammenfassen. Das Problem ist, dass Ba in Hoffenheim noch einen gültigen Vertrag besitzt, ohne die Einwilligung des Klubs gar nicht wechseln darf. Genau genommen bis zum Jahr 2013, darauf hatte man sich vor einem Jahr geeinigt. "Das ist der Wahnsinn, so etwas habe ich noch nie erlebt", sagt 1899-Manager Ernst Tanner: "Das ist ein Grund, um ihm fristlos zu kündigen." Tanner weiß, dass Ba genau darauf spekuliert. "Dembas Verhalten wird selbstverständlich Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen. Gegenüber seinem Arbeitgeber, aber auch gegenüber seinen Mannschaftskollegen ist diese eigenmächtige Vorgehensweise in keinster Weise zu tolerieren", fährt Tanner fort. Die Mannschaft weilte zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits im Trainingslager im spanischen La Manga - ohne Demba Ba." Basically says he went on strike only a year after signing a new contract to force a move. Stopped training with the first team and showed an unelievably bad attitude which shocked the manager.

If he thinks he can pressure Ashley he needs to wake up. Ashley is as ruthless as they come.

This my thinking. Ideally he can be swapped for a more versatile forward next summer if this scenario carries on.

No it's Hat-em Ben Arthur.

I guess he was hawked around during the summer with no firm interest. That's part of the pic imo.

Just needs more games. Been out a long time.

As huge points go that was a huge point. Season has finally started.

Looks like a nice passing set up the line up.

Not helpful.

You might want to change out of your skirts when you go out - it's a bit drafty, borrow a pair of your ma's trousers or something.

More than half yer team ain't played yet dimbo.

I see what you did there.

The "we should have bought some fakin players" will go into orbit if we lose and play badly.

Should just be for teams outside the PL.

Some people still have VDV and Modric and the like in their side.

Very good player, but not great. Didn't have all all the gifts in his locker but made up for it with athleticism and good pitch sense. Scholes was/is better.

Even signing one instant first team player would have lifted the whole club imo. Anita is a good allrounder and decent player but doesn't really send a signal after what was a fanstastic season last year.

This will momentarily mask AVB's oncoming crisis.

They've gone 2 upfront.
