Refuse to believe it. The damage it'd do.

If Swansea and West Brom are back in contention, we're fucked. Was kind of relying on a few teams fighting for one spot. Swansea have a lush set of games too, this is hideous

Arsenal every fucking time. What a joke.

Mahrez in for Arnautovic

Ah man, just bought him for my Fantasy team last night.

Stayed up, Rafa goes. Controversial but I just couldn't take another relegation. Although staying up makes it more likely he'd stay. Are you then assuming we would get a takeover? Can't see the point if not. I'd assume that PCP would be back, although Ashley will probably raise the price. But there's slim hope.

Pardew has denied Schurrle rumours and says no more incomings.

I'd be shocked, to be honest.

Never mind Promesing player

Athletic to replace Laporte with Inigo Martinez from Sociedad. Wow.

Broken clock, twice a day etc.

The Sky Sports and Mike Ashley love story belongs in the cinema, really. Can't wait for them to read their love letters after deadline day.

It's tough because I want a toxic atmosphere and Ashley to get shit all match. But I also want to win, stay up, keep Rafa and maybe get a takeover. One doesn't lead to the other.

So Arsenal need Chelsea to buy Giroud in order to get Aubameyang? Interesting.

There's so many ways people can die, yet Ashley has avoided them all. We're so unlucky.

Fair enough. Still, there's plenty of time to look elsewhere. Well yeah, that's a whole new issue. It shouldn't have come down to this. But the Sturridge deal, judged by itself, doesn't leave a bad taste.

We probably didn't have a chance with Sturridge. Don't want to start defending the club, mind. But West Brom offer something we can't - home.

If he goes, he goes. Doubt the standard will change much.

West Brom have Man City (a) and Chelsea (a) in the next three games and a really difficult final month. The part in the middle could keep them up though, nervous about that.

Problem with Mangala is he's our final Prem loan.

Sturridge choosing to be near his family is fine, and his injury record is a risk. As he was only realistic for 2 hours, I'm not upset about this deal. It's just the inevitability of knowing that nobody will arrive. That's the anger.

Fine.

We'll just have to concentrate on getting 3 wins and a few draws, regardless of what the other teams do. If we somehow beat Burnley on Wednesday, it's looking better. Although that does require at least one goal

It makes sense, doesn't it? But we know it won't happen.
