Just have to hope this is Hughton's doing and he does a Lampard/Gerrard/Rooney recovery to be fine by the weekend.

Chron gone with it too.

Okay. So it's true. Shitter, hopefully he'll be fit for Bolton

Please be bollocks, please be bollocks.

What the f.

The commentators seem to be raving about him every time his name is anywhere near the team sheet. I can't say I've seen anything of him though. Came on against us in the Cup and was probably their best player. Glides across the pitch. No doubt he'll be ridiculously hyped simply for being an English player with technique though.

McEachran of Chelsea looks canny too. Wilshere is the pick of the bunch though, he should already be starting for England IMO.

We don't even need a 15 goal a season striker, I'd like to think we've got that now in Carroll. All we need is somebody with reasonable movement and pace that can link up play. I'm sure we could get a half decent foil for Carroll for cheap enough. It wouldn't take much to significantly improve on what we have. The problem is ideally we need to move atleast 2 strikers on aswell.

Out of contract in the summer, so I'd dare say yes. Good player too.

Eboue was once given an entire season on the RW and contributed 0 goals and 0 assists.

Clichy barely knows how to defend anymore. I don't know what the problem is with Arsenal and fullbacks. Sagna has declined for no real reason. Remember looked like becoming one of the world's best players? Now he is just a headless chicken who's took stupid to defend and too unreliable to start on the wings. Same with Eboue. Although he might just be a bit shit anyway.

Got in the national squad again for their friendly Vs Georgia.

Yeah, Keane on loan aside - we'd probably have to go abroad with our budget. Not that I can think of anybody.

It's boring and distracts everyone from the game. I doubt Duff gave a f***. I doubt it did bother the toerag, and for what it's worth I didn't boo him. But people are entitled and justified in doing so if they wish. He's got an annoying voice aswell actually, Duff. Plus his running style is shit. Urgh.

Detested Duff as a player when he was here like. Everything about the way he played (and still plays) wound me up.

Clichy barely knows how to defend anymore.

Gibbs was great on his England debut tbf, while Baines played like a lost child.

Liverpool fans chanting for Dalglish again. It was all so fucking rosey a week ago wasn't it you fickle cunts.

Jones scores with his feet. Does. Not. Compute.

Leaving on 67 minutes.

That's a great goal from Elmander. Looks a much better player under Coyle.

To do a 5-month job similar to what Beattie did for Stoke a couple of seasons ago, I'd take him. Yeah, I agree. Could see Hughton agreeing too, he must realise we need some kind of solution to the striking problem.

I think Keane's all but finished to be honest. Though short-term he's a million miles ahead of the alternatives to partner AC.

There's got to be a reasonably pacey striker on the cheap somewhere in Europe.

Was dire against the mackems IMO. Still think the player he was at Blackburn is there somewhere though, if somebody was to have a bit of faith in him. Moot point though, Spurs will want serious wedge regardless so I don't think he's realistic.
