Feb 13th 2016. Saturday 7pm. Nice v Marseille. Might be worth a trip.

I don't know why people worry about the fee. Look at the bids for players going in at championship level. £9-14m.

Thauvin deal not dependent on Cabella leaving according to our preferred media partners. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-transfer-target-florian-thauvin-6275430

Interesting podcast on the transfer. http://gib2504.hipcast.com/deluge/gib2504-20150818040840.mp3

Agreed. Happy getting Thauvin and think he's a better fit for us and the this league but I have doubts about him settling here.

Suspended against us not that it matters.

Also a good point.

Yep. Swansea have probably had better recruitment over the same period of time along with Southampton.

Probably this. The only straw I can think of to clutch to is I seem to recall McClaren having a decent record against Man Utd (?) . That and it's football

That sub looked like a mini Mike (Williamson)

I would think it had more to do with his salary.

Most overrated pass of the season more like.

Oh dear the weather is awful.

I see from the first page we bid €3m in Jan 2013

Donkey plop. Sounds like something you'd expect to read in the John Carver thread.

That and the Euro is very weak at the moment.

TBF they (Mirror) called it yesterday early evening.

Live at SJP is a tricky one as it's been so long any of them have meant anything. The last one was probably HBA's against Bolton. On the road live would be Solano's 3-4 winner against Leeds though oddly Cabaye's stoppage time free kick equaliser against Blackburn in the cup also was bedlam. I cried with joy at Rob Lee's equaliser against Chelsea at Wembley. As for TV it would have to be Bellamy at Feynoord or Robert against Arsenal to break our London hoodoo. The scariest was in the Gallowgate corner for Spurs 2-2 (Gazza's return) or Quinn's 4 goal haul against Leeds 5-2.

Forgot to say did anyone pick up on the Doctor Who theme music playing when the teams lined up in the tunnel?

Jose wrongly demoted her.

Good win for Arsenal with only ten men on the pitch... Oh wait.

Never had much against them before. Now I want them all chinned. We could do with them at SJP.

Thauvin played the full game. Yep! Marseille looked poor overall. How did Thauvin look? A couple of nice moments with good dribbling, but didn't see much of the ball tbh. Looked pretty average overall like the rest of the OM team. Can do much better! Thanks
