GFF saying we've agreed a contract with Nathan Dekoké, that St. Étienne youngster. Still need to agree compensation, so considering that and the source who knows.

Think he's been hurt for months now with no end in sight.

Glad others also fear making threads I had to make a post before starting the Pistorius thread, started a match thread once but it got postponed.

They never looked like scoring from open play, and it comes from a free kick that shouldn't have been. Could've opened up earlier, but this tactic has worked three times now, so no complaints about how we set up.

This shit wouldn't be happening if Probert didn't let them get away with so much.

Propert

Good half

Same

Well

Surprised Hart's staying in with that

I do feel pretty good about this one, still think we'll lose.

A draw would've been fair if Sterling took his chance, but he didn't

I don't mind dropping him for Arsenal, someone in form will have to move to the bench. Don't think he was horrible today though, had a few different positions in the midfield and generally made himself active, even if it wasn't always productive.

Great half, just what was expected.

Atkinson clearly feels bad now

One each for Cisse, Ben Arfa and Shola will do nicely. Two will do though, I guess.

This is just fucking awesome.

Lovely passing, great hit

Kind of feel bad for Stoke but not really.

Love Atkinson

When are our players without the ball allowed to go inside the penalty area?

Can't say it wasn't coming

Never understood commentators obsession with players acting hard and wearing short sleeves/no gloves when it's cold. Shut up ffs

Pretty sure everyone knew Cabaye was going to drop deep for that pass after his interview last weekend.
