4-3-3...

I know... It's a very very... Mad World...

I think we need to increase the size of this thread beyond that of the Pieters one... Trailing six pages behind... Will feel a bit more positive for some reason!... Team Cissokho!

Played the full game but only caught the last 10mins... Didn't join in with the late goal celebrations even though it was a big one... Not sure you can read much into that... But hey... We're football fans...

Would of been nice to get a fee... But probably for the best in the long run... Been here 4yrs... In one word... Overrated...

Might watch him in action tonight... I guess we want Lyon knocked out to increase their money troubles... Making them more willing sellers and possibly decreasing the asking price... However if they qualify for the CL I've a feeling we'll go for Pieters sadly...

This lad's got false economy written all over him (cue photoshop reply)... Hope we push the boat out a little further and get the deal done with Lyon...

People here forgetting how poorly we are playing and what happened the last time we rolled up at Scunthorpe... Wouldn't want us to be making anymore than a 2-3 changes if any...

Can he play elsewhere in the back four?... Would be my 2nd choice LB from what I've saw of him compared to our other targets...

Spot on to be fair... From my seat in the stand we were woefull 1st half and apart from a 15 minute spell in the 2nd half from which we scored we weren't much better in the 2nd half... Sunderland not much better... Will need to improve against Fulham if we want to take more than a point... Can't see many goals in the team at all... Don't let a derby win cover the cracks...

Out of all (the few) names mentioned I would happiest with him... Could see him being a better fit from what I've seen of him... Think he would thrive on our fans...

Had to take a penalty against him at a 5-A-Side tournament a couple of years back... He really filled the goal... And that was before the buffet!...

Still suffering a little from blisters perhaps...

Arsenal are appealing the red card...

We've already signed his replacement, so no worries. Not according to today's press conference... For what it's worth AP did say today that if Barton does decide he wants to leave they will have to bring in a replacement as good as if not better...

How much were the SAFC v NUFC tickets for next week?

Presenters like Keys and Gray asking almost rhetorical questions to dim witted football players and managers instead of posing a brief simple and on occasions searching question to allow/force the guest to actually have to think of answer for themselves...

Doubt Depor will be paying the full £50k... Guessing £20k max... They are skint and that was before they got relegated...

Classic...

Nope... Wise & Co.

Can't see where Bates is having a go at NUFC?... Just looks like the facts with a bit of player agent encouragement via easily influenced journalist looking for a story putting the usual spin on things... Bates doesn't once state we are being unreasonable... Not sure why I'm defending him... Guess the journalist got the reaction he was looking for judging by all the mis-judged comments...

Not really... Iirc his agent put the request in a few minutes after the transfer window closing much to the amusement of the media... Hope he turns out to be a bit brighter than his agent...

The over hyping of players by pundits using the phrase "he's a top top player" which has lead to the extra hype by some pundits now reverting to "he's a top top top player"...

River Plate survive relagation... What a surprise... :-/
