That's probably the best match I've ever watched. Still have so much adrenaline going. That just shows what an amazing St James crowd can really do. The place was fucking rocking and the boys responded. Awesome. I think it's pretty telling that we were down four nil and I am sad we didn't win, I really fancied us at the end there. The boys in black and white showed a lot of heart tonight in the second half and I fucking love it.

He's puts himself about so I give him a lot of credit for that. His heading is atrocious though.

What a ball and first touch.

Honestly not looking forward to this at all. Wish I was working.

And our beloved captain Nolan? Can play behind that, if he wants, but I'd rather have Ireland/Barton in the 2nd of the 3 CM positions (Tiote being the DM obviously).

Plays somewhere other than England so people don't care to talk about it.

I like that we're going after left wingers so we don't have to waste HBA there. I want to see HBA "in the hole" creating a lot of space, movement, and passing the ball around.

Can we get some suggestions of people outside of this country please?

I fear a lot of people calling for Ashley to sell and for us to have a new owner are going to have to eat a lot of humble pie when faced with the alternatives that come in. Ashley is by no means a great owner, but we could be in a far worse ownership situation.

Agreed. Our movement off of the ball has been so horrible this season.

Wow this is poor.

scrappy as fuck

Us having fuck all squad depth. That bench is a fucking joke for a team chasing a European position who've just had the chance to strengthen their squad. Huh?

Would much rather Arsenal win than Chelsea/Man U.

Can't believe I have to miss the second half

Glad common sense is prevailing in the poll, even if people aren't backing up their vote on the page. Was it probably the wrong thing to do with bad timing? Yeah. Should we really give a shit? No.

If, and that's a big if, this actually happened, then it was the right thing to do.

Which he bought for 5.5m if I remember correctly, not "undisclosed"

Nani's ball on that, crazy good.

Makoun(sp?) for Villa looks pretty tidy.

I'm sure they've heard that Carroll signed a transfer request too.

I keep reading this but don't really believe it tbh. On top of us having some cash, they will also know that we seriously need to rebuild our squad. We won't be paying over the odds for players. I actually think it will strengthen our position. Would another club rather take 10m cash that window or 12-15m over three or whatever seasons? I think I know which one I'd go for.

If a bid for 15 Million quid was put in, do you think Blackpool will take the higher moral ground and reject the transfer? Its all relative .... They did accept a bid, and I'm not even sure if it was that high.

Of course he would say that, doesn't mean it's true though. The simple fact is: he signed a transfer request. Whatever else went on, he didn't have to sign one, but he did, and he didn't look that gutted afterwards.
