Hasn't he had injury problems? Missed the last month of last season with a spinal injury. Been back playing pretty decently (for the level he's at) as far as I can tell. Doesn't seem all that prolific in second division. True. Local press is implying that he's doing alright though and that's all I have to go on. He's no Park Chu-Young, mind. ()

"People's Rooney" is having a medical at Koln.

How many penalties have we averaged per season in the last few years? Must be something like 0.8

I want to punch some of these happy Brighton fans

That's probably a penalty again, but whatever. We never get any.

Be happy in ONE match thread! We're disgusting whenever I bother posting in one.

We're not even going to touch the ball before full time, are we? I fucking hate football. Fuck this shit.

Brighton have taken a full two minutes for their throw in

Whatever, we're obviously never going to have blatant handballs called in our favor.

How many times has Ben Arfa not given away the ball today out of every single possession he's had? Twice? I understand the whole "creative players give it away sometimes" thing but he's just taking the piss here.

1-0 loss to jammy deflected strike, Cabaye banned for three games, just need a season-ending injury for somebody and we'll have the trifecta.

Fucking lucky bounce. Obviously

Fuck this shit.

abysmal? really? did the pass of the game Gave it away every other time.

At the risk of doing a Christmas Tree, Ben Arfa has been abysmal today.

Jonas is ridiculous in the middle of the park. Never loses the ball.

When did Mike Ashley lose about a hundred pounds?

It's funny because it's true

Whether he's bought for 3m or 4m doesn't make a whole lot of difference to us We need a third-choice CB and if the club has assessed that he's good enough go for it I say.

I nicked about a hundred napkins with the club crest on them on my first trip to SJP in 2007. I still have them on my desk

The Dembas are back in Toon!

Class. I'm playing them on FM as soon as the new patch is out.

The way we keep backtracking on this thread title At some point I expect it to be changed to "Sylvain Marveaux hoping to not die of fatal infectious disease by the end of the year."

I've played with some lads who've been discarded at youth level over here (and these are shit K-League teams we're talking about), and in my experience anyone who's been professionally trained for any extended period of time is just on a different level from even the best of hobby footballers. If you threw Alan Smith up against a defense of average joes he'd probably look like Messi.
