First bet in a while: Fulham, Man Utd-1, Blackpool-Birmingham draw. £3 pays £40.

Fuck, he'll be leaving on a Bosman before we know it.

Would be pointless. Just made-up rubbish that, iyam.

Is he really necessary? Would this skilful prick add anything to the team? I don't know why I'm trying to re-phrase it when it was really funny in the first place.

SSN says that the owners told them they'd bid £6.2m for Ronaldinho, and were prepared to increase their bid if necessary. Really giving Milan a reason to accept that bid then, fucking mentals.

Was going to say that straight away with it being ESPN.

Rob Lee? Close, but no. Keegan?

Love the Enrique one as well.

What a strange turn of phrase.

I've heard that he's a phenomenal public speaker, up there with the Ivory Coast's best. Nah, Nolan said he was a "quiet lad" but I don't know if that's because he hasn't got to grips with the language yet.

Probably because he's our best player, and we coped without him. Ohhhhhhhh, I get it.

Really pleased with the result. Thought we might regret missing so many chances, but Wigan weren't up to it at all and we were fairly solid. If we beat West Ham then I'll feel a hell of a lot better about our chances of staying up. Prior to today I was getting very tetchy.

Barton man.

Ahhh, close.

Quietly effective, will no doubt go unnoticed by the majority. Pretty sure the majority of his passes have been to/from his back four to maintain possession. Give it a rest acting superior all the time, it's fucking boring.

GET IN!

Decent stop, Harper.

Bloody hell Shola.

My thoughts on this are the same as the Keane thing - I'd take both on loan and see how they do. Spurs would surely want significant fees for both in the long run though.

This post is just... wrong on so many levels. Well the bit about Bentley emulating Routledge's career is bilge for a start, yeah.

Definitely not the approach we should be taking. We need to sign the right players not any player just for the sake of getting someone in. It's better no player than the wrong player. I agree, but we do need a striker in January. Even someone marginally better than the current lot could make the difference.

Perhaps we got lucky with Tiote but I think we should be buying a lot of players that I've never heard of, which is half the point of a scouting network. That's the way I usually cop out when asked that question anyway.
