4 great goals by McCleary... Anyone know much about him?..

The issue i believe is that it's Santos's centenary year so the club didn't want to be seen to sell such an icon of theirs until the following year... Barcelona have put a deposit down for Neymar and if the deal doesn't happen it costs Neymar's agent around £10m+ or something silly...

Wouldn't be surprised if we got him but would prefer Ghoulan...

One role with possession... One without...

I find him frustrating to watch but still believe there could be a player in there somewhere... I keep reminding myself how woeful the late Gary Speed was when he signed for us and managed to turn it around in his second season... Hoping our patience will be similarly rewarded... Time will tell...

Eric Adibal to have a liver transplant...

I think you can... His agent has even said as much in that recent article... People on here forget he was nowhere near fit enough to start the season and we went on such a great run that you don't fix what wasn't broken... Slowly and sensibly HBA has been intergrated into the first team and wouldn't be surprised to see him start the remaining fixtures...

Fair result but just rewatched goal and Simpson managed to take 4 of our players out of the game with that last throw in... Disappointing end with a point so close...

Showing people on their weaker foot seems to of gone out of the modern game...

Perch for Williamson yes as we need mobility not height... Perch for Santon I see no sense...

Just keep him on his right foot... Basic defending... Just had to stay on his feet and hold his position...

NUFC & SAFC except charges for failing to control their players...

Yep... Harper Simpson Colo Sol (Jonas 66) Williamson Enrique (Ferguson 23) Nolan Barton Tiote Loven (Ranger 61) Shola

Don't think we've had one... The big defeats that stick out like Spurs Fulham and Bolton last year he missed...

I've always felt the main problem in simplistic terns has been that MA rarely follows a good decision with another good decision and has a habit of overshadowing his own good work...

The game just sums up what we were all about under KK... Attack!

Speaking of 4-3's... The Villa game from 96/97 is on ESPN Classic shortly... that the one where Dwight Yorke got a hat-trick? Yep... Starts 12.35...

Remember listening to the Arsenal fans on the radio the next day... Very complimentary about the atmosphere saying they hadn't heard anything like it... Said the whole mood of the ground change when we scored our first... They described it as a "Bear Pit!"...

You can still sign deals for players. It's just not really in effect until the windows open, at which point you're allowed to officially register the player as your own. Don't see why more clubs don't set up pre-window deals tbh. Probably due to the risk of injury for the buyers or the selling club turning fans against them whilst that player is still playing for your team...

Apparently so... Must be a relatively new thing that refs give free-kicks mind...

I've felt its even crept in when lost in the PL this season... Made no excuses when we beat them or Blackburn...

Wasn't his contract almost up...14 month?... Surely this is the club just protecting itself to an extent also... Listening to AP interview today about it he made it pretty clear he's a squad player...

how many -ish there tonight? 2,995 according to .com Seemed a lot more than 3k in my eyes... How much does the East stand hold out of interest? 4K Really?! Surprised... 3k about right then...
