He is, got raped off Rose, was awful. Yet absolutely destroyed Luke Shaw against Southampton.

Gignac would be just as good tbf. Excellent last season, too many people slating him based on old perceptions. Either would be an improvement on what we have now.

For €4m, Gomis would be absolutely excellent business. He's powerful, strong in the air, intelligent with his movement and holds the ball up well. If Pardew is insistent on playing two up front, then Gomis would be ideal to pair with Cisse/Bent.

He's scored some scorchers this season. Witnessing the Villa one first hand was brilliant.

Cabaye.

Quite enjoyed Santon's at Wigan to be honest, but from that list probably Ba v Reading or either of Cabaye's goals v Villa and Liverpool.

Good effort

How the fuck did we lose to this lot?

How did they do it? Retrospective sponsorship deals with companies indirectly owned by the owners may have helped. Feel a bit sorry for Ligue Un fans. PSG and soon to Monaco doping it to f*** and every other club is a selling club to mediocre PL teams despite having, on the whole, far more history. Monaco have been in the the French league system since 1919 FWIW. PSG only formed in 1970 but were effectively formed by the merger of two clubs and still have a number of great European and domestic moments to their name, so I'd say both have a fair bit of history. You can look at it as they league being bought or you can look at it as something that will, over time, increase the league's co-efficient and increase the profile of a league that is, much like the Eredivisie, criminally underrated. Didn't mention anything about history, I know both have history, but you can't tell me for the competitiveness of the top end of the league is going to be slowly eroded by this financial injection and yes I know many other leagues are similar. Also, RE: the league as a whole if PSG had and if Monaco do buy L1 players then it wouldn't be so bad but all the money thus far has gone to anyone related to Leonardo mostly which is doing nothing for other clubs. I just think it's a bit of shame that fine clubs like OM, OL, Bordeaux & countless others are restricted to playing for CL at best. In terms of competitiveness at the top, I think clubs like Marseille will always stick around simply due to their size in France and tendency to bring decent players through, but in terms of the likes of them and OL being reduced to competing for CL I believe it has more to do with them having to sell prized assets in order to keep their house in order following financial management, and that just happens to coincide with PSG's takeover. OM are renovating the Velodrome, Lyon are getting a new stadium as are Bordeaux and Nice ahead of Euro 2016, so these clubs are making progress on some fronts, my hope is that regular European football will help the likes of Marseille and Lille and that an increased profile will attract new investment, but I would say that in terms of excitement and competitiveness all the way down the division Ligue 1 is much healthier than a number of it's European counterparts.

Fair play to Wigan like.

:celb:

Catts for me like.

Nine

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is terrifying.

Fucking come on now.

What on earth is De Guzman doing in midfield there?

Horrendous defending.

Awful news. Thoughts with his family. RIP.

Anything less than a win against WBA and they're knackered.

Norwich are very much in it too. Even so can't see them going. We're in freefall. Went up a place today like.

That is fucking scandalous. No thought for the fans as per usual.

Not got much of a choice if he doesn't want to be here. I'd rather have a player who imposes himself and gets goals anyway. Cabaye does have six this season tbf. I'm not saying he doesn't want to leave, just pointing out that actively wanting to sell him is lunacy.
