  1. Just watched my recording. What a fucking bullshit match. I want to throw things.
  2. It's going to be surreal seeing Drogba and Anelka up front in the ACL.
  3. Drogba to Shanghai confirmed by Chinese press. 3 years on 200k p/week.
  4. If I understand Pardew's thinking, Best and Ameobi are probably both going to start, although I think it's quite possible that he'll start HBA at right wing.
  5. I wouldn't rule anything out right now. The Cisse transfer has blown everything wide open. Not since the Coloccini signing has Ashley shown any real ambition in the transfer market and £10m on a 26 year old is no small investment because there's no guarantee we'll get any of it back. Maybe Branson is behind it, who knows? I can't imagine he'd want to be associated with anything other than a successful club so if that's the case this could easily still happen. To be fair, this is basically just the money we had earmarked for Maiga anyway. True but Maiga was being bought as a saleable asset, it will be a lot harder getting money back for Cisse unless we flog him within a year or two. Also my impression was that with Taylor getting crocked the Maiga money would go on a defender. That is a valid point. I guess that does allow you to read into his motivations a bit if you look at it that way. Basically this is just the part of the Carroll money that was earmarked for a replacement that was supposed to be spent in the summer and then was supposed to be spent on Maiga. So umm... Thanks Liverpool.

    Mike...We want...

    All he has to do is figure out how to abolish the African Cup of Nations and he's ace in my book.

    Shutting computer off and boarding If it turns out he failed the medical, you all know who's fault it is.

    You could be on the same one as Cisse Not unless he's turning us down for a K-League club Are you going via Africa Thank God no. One experience with a Nigerian airport was more than enough for a lifetime.

    I'm waiting at Dubai airport for my flight back to Seoul. Imagine if I have to board it without knowing if this is confirmed or not. You do know that Steve Bruce is in Dubai at the moment , he could be on the same flight to Seoul. I'm having dinner at a sandwich place called "Potbelly" right now, so if he's at the airport I should be seeing him shortly.

    We're signing a striker for 10m? Clearly I've just overdosed on stomach medicine.
  21. I'm liking the look of all these draws. Will only serve to make it even more excruciating when we inevitably balls it up tomorrow

    What does this tell me other than a conversation is being had between two people, presumably on some distant, twitter enabled, Polynesian island where the indigenous people speak a form of English. Who said what to whom and what about? They're both his tweets. Jesus, that is remarkable. So he 'ever' took Ferdinand's watch and silly people with nothing in 'theRe' lives are making stuff up. When it says this kid is young, how young, 10? Nile Ranger makes him look like Kant tbh.

    Might as well for under a million I guess. Hard to get excited about buying a player who probably won't see that much first team action for a couple years still.
