The Prophet

He's definetly in the 'doesn't look like he knows what he's doing 95% of the time but will still score you a goal or two' category of striker.

Dzeko can be a right fucking donkey at times like.

Love the 'Obertan is from Area 51' chant.

Aye, the cricket and Boardeaux-Rennes are more entertaining options.

Luckily I also have Ivanovic, Hazard and Nolan who may have restored some pride this week.

Awful decision in the Bordeaux-Rennes game. The Rennes defender came across sliding to get the ball, he took it cleanly after which he got some of the man and the ref for some mind boggling reason gave a pel. Justice done when the keeper saved it.

I have Aguero and Silva in my team.

Every year is a good year to not end up in the relegation zone, Martin.

I honestly think both Podolski and Giroud will struggle this season. They'll get a few goals between them but no where enough to make up for losing Van Persie.

Chelsea Man City - 1 Bordeaux DNB PSG Zenit DNB Small stake as it is a bit of daft and that.

...but the point is they could have signed virtually anybody in world football, they settled for the above average Lescott.

Just goes to show what a horrific job Mark Hughes did at Man City. The world was his oyster, yet he chose to sign players such as Joleon Lescott, Roque Santa Cruz and Gareth fucking Barry, players that are still in and around the squad today.

From where? Just from what Pardiola said in his press conference. So when he says that Ben Arfa is a doubt, that means he's out? And Cabaye has said himself that he's fine for the Spurs game. Cisse trained today with the rest of the squad. He more or less insinuated he'd play little if any part.

For me right back and striker are of equal importance. We simply can't go into a season with Shola as our third and final option in that position.

From where? Just from what Pardiola said in his press conference.

Sounds like Ben Arfa is definetly out while Cabaye and Cisse are struggling.

Saha has been past it for a while, still effective if you give him the freedom of Greater London mind.

Sitting behind the goal will be fraught with danger.

Glad that's done and dusted then.

Swings and roundabouts for us though. While Man United, Man City and Chelsea have all significantly strengthened Arsenal and Spurs look all the more weaker without their key players.

i still deny we played anywhere near as much long ball as people try to make out.

A new deal for the Lille defender according to BBC, extends his current contract until 2016: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19248047

Ah but what about the clause within that clause that states another clause allows him to leave for a Freddo and a bag of Space Raiders?
