Probably something to do with the teaser the club put out about a big signing this Monday... It's probably just Defoe...

Up for food but always thought an Indian is always better at the latter stages as opposed to the start of the night... How many are we looking at number wise?

Barcelona v Athletico Madrid 6ish Saturday so might be tempted to catch that then head out...

Sweated out my New Year's cold I picked up after playing tonight... Could hardly breath... Hopefully I get through my Wednesday game unscathed...

Sovereign states...

No doubt Spurs fans will be feeling the karma right now...

When I say not suitable I'm referring to where Man Utd want to go long term... Short term he'd be an improvement but only a small one... I think what holds Cabaye back in this league a little is his stamina... Regularly seems on his knees come the 70min mark

In this country?... I could only think Man Utd out of desperation rather than suitability...

It's all my fault... When we were on our good run I believe it was because I played the next fixture on FIFA14... I stopped doing this leading up to Arsenal...

I can swing by as coming from Gateshead...

Kinnear has just received his copy of Football Manager 2005?

I've wished for their demise after their ticket office messed me around for a few hours a couple of Christmas's ago making me miss the start of the game... I remember gleefully skipping out the ground after beating them 0-2 still to this day It's been downhill for them ever since...

Wow... But fair play to you for giving a straight answer...

You said "we've not much quality to pick from looking at the bench." Which bench? The one I saw had Cisse, Ben Arfa, Anita, Yanga-Mbiwa, Taylor and Haidara on it. 3 of them are defenders which 2 he used but I couldn't argue him keeping the same back 4... Anita is central midfield which was our best department today so couldn't argue with that... Up front I said I wouldn't of played Shola which removes Cisse from the bench also... I'd of liked to of seen a front 3 of Remy Cisse HBA... He made the HBA change at HT with us looking the better team but before he could get into his stride Colo got injured and Debuchy foolishly red carded... The blame more lies with HBA not shooting at the end and two bad touches by Remy when put through twice... You can't just keep blaming everything on someone not on the pitch... That implies we did enough to win the game and were unfortunate. We didn't and we weren't. People were saying similar after Swansea and Southampton, but a couple of missed chances don't make a performance acceptable or worthy of a win. Surely in that case it's the players who do the performing is where you are laying the blame at then?... Eh, seriously? You criticised the performances... The players are the ones who do the performing... I don't see what's hard to understand... I'm gathering you lie the the blame elsewhere... So out of interest in basic % terms how much % do you blame the players today and how much % do you blame AP?...

Which bench are you on about? You've lost me?...

“West Brom sort of let us have possession today and we had a lot of it and we controlled the game to a degree. “A few breakaways they had but other than that I felt confident that we would win the game…but the sending off did change it of course. “Unfortunately, I think it was a red (Debuchy) and then it was uphill and after the amount of games we got tired and we had injuries as well; we had to keep shuffling our team and in the end something give.” Nothing wrong with that... Saw the same game as I did today... Could only be faulted for his opening line up... Nothing wrong with that? Apart from us not looking like we'd win before the red card and us being tired because of the number of games we've played and him saying the same before picking virtually the same team, is that what you mean? Yep... Red card changed the game... We tired with the ten men... Shouldn't of started Shola and rested Gouffran and Sissoko if possible but we've not much quality to pick from looking at the bench...

Any news on Anelka?... Wouldn't be surprised if hit with a 5 game ban...

Yep... I should know I worked in it for 2yr...

I was thinking about the whole H&S issues with this sat on the bus on the the way to the match... As others had to stand... As the bus hurtled around... at speeds over 30mph... Bring it back ASAP safely... Not sat at an away ground over the last 23 years of travelling...

Magnifique... Good & Streete...

Word of caution... Sounds like Norman has left the building...
