I shouldn't worry about that. We've barely humped anyone since. You're on better form and Poyet seems a bit of a bogey manager for us. Not only that, we're without Colo, Cabaye and Remy (our strongest spine) and there's a good chance we'll be starting with a pair of Ameobi's. I mean, fucking hell, the odds couldn't really be further in your favour.

6/5 on William Hill, 11/10 on PP and that's all I've checked. Yep. Got 6/4 last night for it. He was right about not getting a great price mind Chucked 50 notes on it too. Forum Bet.

The club is in a footballing coma Ian. Floating along to premiership survival every year. That's probably great if you're a middle of the road plodder but when you're a top class player, you aspire to more.

Nope. Unless they were making millions in commission from constant churning of players at profit.

He'd prob play there though tbh Privy to Hatem's preferences are we? Yeah I'm good mates with him Imagine if he left though... It's not difficult to imagine that happening. If they're looking at best time to sell, return wise, now would be it. In the summer he'll be entering his last year of contract iirc. Unless they can tie him down to a new contract asap, he'll be on his way this window or next.

AP is at one with the board. Don't make the mistake of thinking he's out on a limb. It's very much one team running the club, incentivised to deliver good financial performance before football performance.

Forget the AP sympathy, he's as involved with the decisions as the rest. Believe me, he's got an incentive to ensure value is delivered, why else would he stand for their shite? As for Grenier, we certainly would've offered him a significant pay rise, perhaps he just feels he can get more from someone else if he moves this summer?

Think of the saving Wullie, the saving.

We've had worse. Much worse.

Yep - exactly right. I wouldn't be too surprised if they move Clattermole on this window to Hull or Palace or someone. Bridcutt is very tidy in possession, a good player who links the ball from the back to the wide men well. I saw a lot of Poyet's Brighton side and Bridcutt was often (in fact, more often than not) the get out ball for the Keeper. When their keeper has possession, the full backs would push up to the halfway line, the centre halves would move up and apart and Bridcutt would drop deep, like a 3rd Centre Back, to collect the ball and distribute it up the pitch, almost always through their full backs. It's a very possession orientated concept but it'll be a lot trickier in the premiership where the quality of forwards is that much better. Not only that, the pace at which the opposition can break should they 'nick' possession off you is lethal. Bridcutt is probably the most important signing Poyet will make as it'll be his job to create the platform for every possession based attack. He's still young and Arsenal have shown a very keen interest in him at Brighton. I think he's been fairly injury prone over the last few years though iirc.

If Cabaye was told he could leave in January, we the fuck wouldn't we have signed his replacement first? Just defies logic.

I fucking hope so. Betting has fuck all to do with regional pride btw.

Did the honourable thing? GET TO FUCK. Profit ahead of progress. Aye - all very honourable you set of cuntbags.

Next 24 what? Months?

Already have. Me too. Really hope I lose all of the money. Hard game, made harder without the spine of the team..............No Colo, Cabaye or Remy is gutting.

No probably about it IMO. thought exactly that during the game. Cabaye plays, we win that.

Joe, I've been thinking..................what do you think about bringing someone in to replace that Cabaye fella? Bit busy Al, give me a bell in a couple of days.

If you're going to get banned for that, you've got to be breaking his nose.

Was it a poster on here who suggested AP got an incentive from transfer profit - if so he may have made a canny bit of cash from Yohan. I've said it for ages. It's the only way you'd get a manager to sign up to having his prize assets flogged from under him. Apparently that's fantasy though.

It wouldn't be overturned in a million years. Not a fucking hope.

In all honesty frogs he's been shit for us this season. A ball greedy twat. He's Nicky Butt. If you wanted a top, ball playing central midfielder you should be approaching a man called Alain Smith of MK Dons.

They're probably flying the poor cunt in cargo under the name Luuk De Dog. He's been ready to sign for three weeks, he's just waiting to get out of quarantine.

Get to fuck.
