Figures 1-0 Football

If we repeat the first half of the season in the second half, with the exact same team - then we go up. There is no crisis, no need to panic and no desperate need to bring people in. Especially if they are not good enough to step up next season. If we cant get any targets to drop down a level, then I'd be happy with one or two short term loans to bulk up the squad a bit more (#10 and another midfielder to be back-up to Shelvey, maybe a winger but if Sammy performs well until AFCON finishes then that's not a desperate need).

Imagine trying to get him into a chant

The state of that Brentford team man, we should be winning this.

Great move that, ignoring the offside part.

Aye what a daft write up from the Chronicle "The only available player who can really play in that position, may play in that position".

Could be 5-0 this.

Great save that is.

Derby are doing well to cope in the intimidating atmosphere.

Both he and Colback are ginger and have the middle name "Raymond". Practically the same person.

BBC reporting that Costa has been dropped due to a fitness argument and not a transfer one.

What should we do with our resources? Give them to charity because it'd be unfair on the other teams in the league?

Alright there Paul Merson How have you come to the conclusion I know nothing of Hull's manager? And refer back to what Joey said for my response to the Swansea situation. Not sure how either of the new managers can be considered less competent than Mike Phelen and Bob Bradley like You do half talk some s*** sometimes, usually just for attention. Not that I rate Bob Bradley but how is Clement considered more competent than him based on what we've seen of both? One would presume that a chap who has been retained by one of the better managers around (I wont use the term 'best' as it's quite individual), at some of the biggest clubs in the world is reasonably competent. He also has a very good reputation from nearly every single person that has spoken about him (from players, to pundits and other managers). Add that into the fact that he was very harshly sacked in his only managerial appointment somewhat prematurely and you get a good idea. Each to their own, I think they've made a major improvement and have given themselves every chance of surviving in what was a very limited market for them to find a manager.

Aye, would be amazed if the Birmingham game is moved for TV - you should be safe with that. That said, this is Sky we're talking about so it'll probably be moved for TV coverage 35 minutes before kick off.

What a grim game to pick in Millwall v Watford.

Swansea and Hull both seem to be bringing people in (including competent managers) whilst the mackems sit around doing nothing.

Was this supposed to be funny? It made me laugh anyway. Instant bull = Istanbul?

Bilic not holding back with his comments on Payet

Imagine being that much of a sad virgin that you get excited by loads of other losers on the internet believing a story that you made up.

To be fair, one of the best things about international football is seeing minnows do well. The format is shit though and 64 would work so much better.

Just came in here to ask. Eyeing up Huddersfield if it stays on the Saturday. Will we get the full 4k allocation? I've heard we're getting 2000 mind! I've heard this too. Think it came about because they felt they could sell it out without having to give us more than 2k.

3-3

Was his name Ian?

Leeds look determined to lose this like, wont be long before they go down to 10 men.
