Can't believe Redknapp's comment was taken to mean they could be offering a player rather than just cash.

So he didn't like playing regularly for a shit team but enjoyed playing a bit-part role in a good team. Now he can't even get a bit-part role in a shit team.

I know it's been said for a while but the bonus points on this are fucking ridiculous. Krul 3 and Taarabt 1 from our game yesterday.

Ditto.

Not a bad way for Piazon to introduce himself, lovely ball.

Just use the logic you used earlier where you classed a €200 win as a €400 win, that way you can just say you didn't actually lose €215 on the Man Utd game.

7 pence There's a lesson in there somewhere.

I know it's extremely simplistic but we should really be looking at signing a couple of left-footed players.

John Cross is one of the biggest arseholes going, constantly comes out with utter bollocks.

Like he has a say in it.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but just caught the end of the news on the radio which said that all 20 PL chairmen have agreed clubs need to break even and a possible introduction of some sort of cap on wages? Apparently set to meet again in Febraury to discuss it in more detail.

NO he isn't. He has pace to burn and can deliver quality crosses from the left. Currently a big upgrade on what we're getting from Jonas and Obertan and can also cover left back if required. Pace to burn. Someone's definitely on the wind-up here.

Saw Tiote in the Metrocentre a couple of weeks ago. Colo on his way to the RVI in his car last week. Sammy in the Metrocentre yesterday afternoon. Also saw a car that I'm 99.99% certain belonged to Tavernier getting a ticket for being parked in a disabled bay.

Fuck off.

Second one was fuck all IMO, had to laugh at Shearer mentioning that. The other two fair enough, obviously. I don't think there's much contact but I think he knew exactly what he was doing and the intent was there.

Three separate acts of violent conduct in my eyes.

Just another player who gets regular appearances for us but isn't anywhere near good enough. Cheap, though. That's a tad harsh in my opinion. I think he is good enough, maybe not to be a regular in the starting XI but in and around it. What you've highlighted about him today isn't what his role in the side is about, in a similar way to everyone getting annoyed at Tioté's performances this season. On the whole I thought Perch had a good game today.

He should have been. Same reason Kolo Toure wasn't booked early doors too I assume.

It was one of the few decisions Marriner got right. Silva had turned him and he wiped him out from behind, booking all day long.

Pretty fucking ridiculous if this came as a result of rushing him back when he wasn't 100% ready...

Spot on Tooj. Although you can he struggles with certain aspects of his current role he's still putting in a real shift and never gives up.
