Unlikely because of age and price, but I would love this more than anything. Easily the best outfield player the US has produced.

With the Cahill sale, most likely. Coyle said he wants three players. I think it depends if we're adrift on NYD really because otherwise we're throwing good money after bad. Amazingly, we'll most likely be out of the relegation zone if we beat Wolves on NYE - however, given how abject we've been at home this season, we'll probably lose. Any names or players you'd like and think the club could potentially get? We haven't really been linked with that many people actually: Josh McEachran on loan and Nedum Onuoha seem to be the names that are popping up regularly though, oh, and an American centre-back we've been trialling - Tim Ream. I'd like Onuoha. I doubt McEachran would get many games. Don't really know much about Ream to be honest. Ream is just not ready at all. He's really highly thought of, but hasn't turned in many great performances, especially for the national team. He might be a Premier League players at some point in his career, but it shouldn't be now.

Our football wasn't that bad, Alan.

Nothing

Just like we always lose on Boxing Day? This squad's done well to break some past trends so far.

Talking up American goalkeepers

Deserved.

Surely up for December Player of the Month. Has anyone else in the league been better this month?

They've been poor lately. We can definitely get something from this, not totally confident we will, though.

Well done. Feels damn good.

Quality finish, didn't have to do much to find space, no one marked him.

Demba better not be dead.

KO

First moment of quality all game. Great run by Raylor, and picked out Ben Arfa perfectly. Quality finish, too. Well done.

The two everyone expected to be the weak links have been. Pretty dire stuff considering the skill we have out there.

This has 0-0 all over it.

Pretty much spot on, way too many rash reactions from what is a pretty decent lineup.

Ah, alright. They didn't mention that on ESPN here.

What a mistake to take vdV off. He didn't have a particularly good half, but he drops deep well and provides an extra outlet for the midfield, that was really helpful going against Chelsea's three to four man midfield. And plus, Pav is just awful. Really good game, though.

The rule really shouldn't include fans. Especially when they come on an attack the player, no one can claim they wouldn't have done the same thing in that situation.

The sub was odd. Hadn't showed anything wrong previous to that, maybe Pardew thought Raylor would solidify the backline? But that just flat out doesn't make sense.

He's shown before he struggles after missing a few games. Soon enough, he'll be back on form.

Gave that one away. Some terrible defending, and West Brom proved they are a decent side.

Well, fuck this.
