George McCartney still starting in the Premier League. Carlton Cole being released, resigned and then promoted to first choice. Nee wonder West Ham are doing fucking shite.

Mignolet. Mongolet

Feeling so smug having made the brave choice to de-captain Suarez this week in favour of Hazard.

Midland Mackems. What a bunch of absolute cunts.

The Wilson red card was an absolute spitting double of the non-decision we got with Remy and Olsson in the West Brom home game. "Evens itself out over the course of a season" etc etc

Was so, so sure he'd sky it like a buffoon as per his last two attempts. Fair play though, amazing pen.

We're really on the crest of a wave at the moment and I think we'll earn a battling point, which would be pretty good.

It does make sense in theory, but then again Anita's superb pass got us the first pen/second red. Sissoko in the first half was one of the worst showings I've seen from one of our players in absolutely ages; expected him to be hooked.

Bringing on a second forward was absolutely the right choice at half time but I thought withdrawing Anita was a bit odd seeing how Sissoko was absolutely fucking dreadful beyond belief in that first half. He was much better afterwards though so fair enough I spose. Stoke (and their manager) can fuck off, so many times they foul, spoil and cheat their way to points - didn't work today.

A very mackem Christmas Too many naughty mackems means Santa brought an old useless lump of 'coal' Sadly the Turkey was a bit raw and had to go back to the shop In better news, someone got some nice Armani off this fella... ...and someone mysteriously ate all the cold cuts in the players lounge... ...but they left out the stuffing, for some reason But the mackems didn't let this bother them and all had a few drinks to forget this season:

That dire 0-0 game did alright for me: clean sheets Cahill and Mertesacker, and an extra point for Hazard and Ramsey.

I think if we're still within touching distance of the top four by the end of January he'll elect to stay; moving just before a World Cup would be very risky for him.

Probably Obertan.

Surely that cameo today will get him a start? Created two or three pretty clear cut chances and scored a pen in about 12 minutes.

Fucking hell. Can you get an each way on that or anything?

Another 'harsh' red card apparently. Team of cunts.

He was good today. Busy in midfield and I can't remember him wasting the ball many times.

Class cameo like, absolutely electric. Please get him in the side next week, he'll kill Stoke.

Gonna be mega annoyed if I don't get a Mignolet clean sheet too after that first half.

Goal and an assist already.

1:52:30 or so onwards... "Half-back, passes to the wing, wing to the centre! Centre holds it! Holds it! HOLDS IT!!"

We've actually bought in every January window since 2010. So does just about every club in the football league. Whoopy-do. The point is, just because we invested properly for the first time in years last January doesn't mean we'll do it again. We bought Cisse and Ben Arfa in January windows like. It's been a lot more fruitful than the summer, I think that's what people are saying.
