It was different tho'

This

He is an ex-Mathieu Debuchy - if he hadn't been a nailed on signing last summer he would be pushing up the daisys etc....

When he has a few collisions with centre backs early on he invariably has a good game (from the times I've watched him). I reckon its when he has to fanny on in midfield trying to be like Ibrahimovic that he tends to struggle. He can do a bit of that but its far from a strength in his game. One of the only criticisms I would level at a Ba / Cisse pairing is that they can occasionally get bullied by centre backs when the ball is played up from the back - it nullified them in the derby. Carroll solves that right away. Watching Everton take apart a far more expensive Man United team last night by playing directly reminded me of the way we beat them 3-0 in January. Maybe it is worth having that in your locker as a Plan B, and there are few better players for it than Carroll. Also, having Carroll to hit diagonals to is probably a wet dream for Mike Williamson. We do need a striker and he definitely could be an asset for us, but there is a balance to be struck in terms of style of play. I think last season's best manager has a far better chance of finding that balance than last season's worst. I also think 12m is probably a decent valuation for him

Brilliant just brilliant

A striker is more important IMO Sorry to say but I think we need a top class goalkeeper - if Krul is injured I fear our back-ups are rubbish.

Good grief, Good heavens above, Good God, Good man, Good lad, Goodfella, Good life, Good news, Good deal, Good times, Good stuff, Good shit, Good gear, Good ass, Good head (Dr.), Good health, Good food, etc.. Life's good

yeeehaaaa

lovely lucky old spurs - let's fuck them up

fingers and toes crossed

I dunno like, I'm still waiting for Skirge to show us his 3-1-5-1 with Shane Ferguson up front. Krul Simpson Williamson Santon Coloccini Hatem Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ba Ferguson If Papiss picks up a knock before the game. I can see this for Wigan: Al Habsi Alcaraz Caldwell Figueroa McCarthy McArthur Boyce Beausejour Moses Maloney Di Santo 3-4-3s are always problematic. I don't want to sound paranoid but I am worried for our lads. Pardiola will be aware and will counter and nullify their threat and ultimately turn it against them - 0 - 2 clinical

I reckon his first priority was getting us safe - once we had 40+ points he relaxed and it is evident in the last 6 games - he has given players their heads and wow. Good luck to him - I think he is a keeper.

I'm choking with laughter- bravo

I thought HBA wasn't playing by the texts - hope we get him on the ball more - sounds like an alteration is needed.

You get these kind of decisions when you're part of the top four

Is Tiote OK

So happy right now

wtf - muppet

wtf - perhaps he's just trying to do a professioanal job with the tools at his disposal -too much being read into what is essentially a game. fwiw - He's doing ok

he's better
