It'll feel like an anti-climax but I won't be gutted about it, like I would have in previous years. This is the least essential deadline day for us in a while.

I know you're not, I was looking to get a rise out of KD. Hello KD.

Eurgh you're a WUM and I'm going to flounce about it like a giant gay

It'll be very interesting to see how the team do here. In recent years, the 'easy' home games are where we've done badly, most likely down to player complacency. Hughton is one of the last people I can see allowing that sort of attitude and it'd be great to see us put a struggler to the sword for once (in this league before anyone mentions Cardiff, Barnsley etc).

George Graham had to be in with a shout. Dave Bassett is the one I always consider.

Christ, has Skirge been taking tablets to level himself out? The least Skirge-tastic formation ever that, it's actually plausible and sensible.

I reckon even with Gyan they're still one short. The likes of Waghorn is simply not PL standard for more than the odd cameo.

Mackems now desperate for a forward. If Fraizer C misses this season they have Bent, Welbeck and Waghorn... that is it.

I wonder who was next if Kinnear turned the job down? Another "remember the 90's?" appointment, doubtless.

It's just speculation at this stage.

I hate that needless fucking touch screen gadget he uses too.

Booooooo

It was a blessing in disguise. Those who called for it during the season we went down were, and still are, idiots, though.

Folan is utter utter shite.

Willing to give him a chance but so far he looks poor.

Greg Cunningham from Man City has been mentioned, hasn't he? It's a shame Chelsea are looking to hang onto Paddy Van as well as I'd love to see him back here one day.

Harper: TIIIIIOTEEEEEEE!! Tiote: Oui? Harper: Charlie Adam's shin pads are down!! HACK THE BONE, HACK THE BONE!

Paul Barron.

I like how they're both wearing Chris Hughton wigs.

Good stuff, might go along and watch.

At least this time, if we get fuck all on deadline day we've made a good amount of additions prior anyway.

Reckon we'll see Haris, Donaldson, Soderberg, Kadar, Tavernier, Ferguson, Ranger and Inman against the mackems?

I think Villa play some nice counter-attacking football but when they're unable to do that the stuff they play can be turgid. Spurs I see as less of a counter attacking team, in truth a team who mix it up. However, it sometimes doesn't take long before it's twatted up to Crouch. It's a hard question to give a definitive answer to as I love watching counter attacking sides and therefore my judgement is clouded by that somewhat.

I think you play at least as much long ball as you do carpet football, if not more. I'm unsure whether you're primarily a "long ball" team but watching you recently I've seen Crouch heading down to Lennon about a million times.

I think Keane is overrated, what do you think? I think Jenas goes missing during game, what do you think? I think Hutton is pretty rubbish, what do you think? I think Bentley isn't that good, what do you think? I think Pavlychenko is a poacher that scores goals but doesnt offer much else, what do you think? I think Vill rely on Young too much and played poorly today, what do you think? I think we generally play better football than Villa, what do you think? I think we rarely play long ball except as a back up plan when things go wrong, what do you think? Disagree on the Pavulychenko comment and the long ball comment. Most of the others I don't know about or don't give enough of a shit about to say, really. The "we play generally better football than Villa" one has quite a lot of sticking points, the main one being what is constituted as "better" or "good" football.
