Would not blame Hughton in the slightest for setting us up for a point.

AND TOMMY SMITH - THE NEW RONALDO. Smacks of another Nugent, excellent in the Championship yet shite in the PL. At least he was cheaper for them though.

Ashley's blouson? Alan Oliver's face.

ESPN I think. Ace, when is it on?

That's the kind of model that will work for a team like Stoke though. A goalie, nine bruisers and a flair player.

As long as no-one leaves that's not the end of the world. We can still get a few loan signings after that point to tide us over until January anyway can't we? Not to mention a fair amount of frees still kicking about.

That is an excellent signing for Stoke.

Imagine if Kinnear was in charge. He'd probably start with Steven Taylor as a lone striker and leave Nile as an unused sub. Bit like Hoddle at Spurs a while ago, playing a fucking CB up front and leaving the kids on the bench and wrecking their confidence And yet you've just suggested that we play a reserve team midfielder up front and leave Ranger on the bench. Donaldson is in the Smith role of being able to play CM and also as a striker. Ranger's just had a start too, not to mention numerous sub appearances so far this season. Donaldson hasn't appeared yet (to my knowledge) and it's surely worth chucking him in to see what he's made of.

Please tell me that wasn't Nixon making a joke about someone eating too much pizza. Oh, the irony.

loser

I can do the interview for him. "Don't want to lose any more players" "Want two or three more players in" "Up to the owner so we'll just have to wait and see." add in the phrase "this group of lads" five times and that's basically it.

Paul Chow please.

Krul has made three appearances for us, two where he was fucking class and one where he was abysmal. I don't think any of us can get a proper measure of his ability until he's made a handful of starts in a row. Harper is the number one choice, he was always going to be more than good enough for this league

I think Hughton didn't intend to play Shola unless we needed to. And we did, 3-1 down and looking a bit clueless.

Shorey is fucking shit, Warnock is clearly better

Fucks sake, just more speculative bull.

What happens when Donaldson doesn't score after one full game? Spear in? It's got nothing to with not scoring, just Nile didn't look at all ready yet.

Start Donaldson please, with Nolan supporting. Nile will be a good player but he doesn't seem to have the confidence or mental strength at the moment for first team football. Chuck Donaldson in and see how he does, if the answer is badly then bring Nile off the bench.

The only player who in leaving would actually strengthen our position. Please please please be signed by Hull.

The bit when Keane talks for the first time.

That is a brilliant video.

Check Jon's floorboards.

Shit sugar poo piss pants bollocks

Against Rapid Vienna at home? Yes. One swallow doesn't make a summer.
