If we signed Barnetta I'd feel a lot better about the Joey situation. But we won't, of course we won't.

Joey's character overshadows his playing ability. Whilst good for most of last season, I'm not convinced he'd have been that good this time. We already have a better set piece taker and I see Colo, Tiote, HBA, Cabaye and Jonas as more vital players for us. But I am gutted and what hurts is that I thought we'd seen the worst and a compromise had been reached....then fucking QPR come along. QPR!!! As much as I love the guy, he had the option to stay and stick it out but chose not to. Thought he'd be the one footballer to stand up to the owners, but I guess he's just like the rest. Replace him and we'll cope, although giving him away for free is beyond moronic. Everytime something almost-decent happens to this club, total idiocy always lurks around the corner. At least the press conference will be interesting.

Well duh, of course he's given PERMISSION to speak. Doesn't mean he'll be insane enough to go there. I'm not worried.

That signing is scarily good. Shift the deadwood and sign Diarra, its been a great summer for you. Bastards!

Hope he gets another month there, so the damage is well and truly done. What a great result for Secret Agent Purpleface.

A dark day for footballing morals. His history with racism just adds another layer of ridiculousness to it.

Well we all want something, don't we?

Lets hope we favour the good one. Fingers tightly crossed!

ROOOOONEY!!!!

Even when both sides were at war, Joey wouldn't go there. Now they've compromised? Not a chance.

Might put them off selling Colo, Tiote etc next summer and make us give Barton and Colo new deals.

Even Hitler was upset at his Gran dying. Hitler was dead for many, many years before Pieters nan died. Crafty bugger

scarves in august? interesting....

7 or 8 of those are much, much better than him too.

No doubt about it, we've got an absolute bargain. Quality player, what we did to Lille is tantamount to robbery.

But if they're aware of Cissokho, why would they use a much better player and much better option to cover up for Pieters? Talk about a letdown. I don't get how they'd see this bargain and then say "Nah, let's get the Dutch guy". Maybe it's foolish to apply common sense to the regime.

Sounds about right. Sucks to be Wenger....

It is exactly like us to lose a game like this. Fulham are awkward to play against and I can see a 1-1 draw. Krul Simpson Saylor Colo Cissokho Barton Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ameobi Ba BENCH: Harper, Willo, Raylor, Marveaux, Gosling, Maiga, Best

Well every time we went near the goal they'd obliterate our players or handle it on the line. They made it tricky.

Lyon drastically overpaid for him in the first place. Porto bought him for 250k after a good half-season at Setubal, 6 months later Lyon buy him for roughly £13m. It was ridiculous and a perfect example of Porto's transfer strategy.

At the end of the day, 4 points is remarkable from those games. You have to give him credit, even if he is a puppet. But this is brilliant

Love the last page

Rennes? Ahhhh fuck off. If you're gonna be like that, get lost Mevlut.
