I like the team, I think there's clear signs of a game plan which is nice.

MA considers £7.50 too much! Erm, don't you remember the £9.00 curry he had with Staveley the other week? Give him credit where it's due.

Bored of this every week

Pep saying he hasn't watched us play. Brilliant, he won't know about Joselu's secret weapon of bumbling the ball into the back of the net, or Diame's unerring ability to sky shots into the roof of the net. We're gonna' crash their party, I just know it.

Mitro doesn't do what Rafa tells him to do on the pitch. If he cared as much as he says, he would do anything to get on the pitch so I do think his passion is false to a certain extent, yes Fair enough, although in my opinion that's not a fair way to measure whether someone's passion is genuine or not. And also what you're saying isn't exactly factual and more speculation. Rafa might just prefer his other options and it may be more out of Mitrovic's hands than what you think. Don't think you can say for certain that Mitrovic's displays of passion are any less real than Lascelles'.

So to be passionate you also have to be performing well, otherwise passion is worth nothing/or is falsified in your eyes? Seems a strange way to look at it.

You don't like Jamaal either? I was thinking the same. Strange comment.

Thing is there's nothing to say Slimani will be better than Mitrovic, we just have to hope his replacement hits the ground running for some reason.

Goodnight, sweet prince. :'( In all honesty though, he will show quality wherever he goes imo and will eventually earn himself a move to a club far bigger than our own, just like Florian Thauvin will. Shame seeing these good players slip through our fingers, but sometimes the stars just don't align and it's not meant to be.

He'll be their next manager when Britton gets the sack soon Swansea are making waves in the industry, join our club as a youth and within 5 years you'll be sitting at the top desk as manager. Isn't Britton only caretaker and says he doesn't want it ? Probably, it was tongue in cheek really, as they seem to go through their fair share

A few seasons ago we played them at home in the league cup and were drawing 0-0 and they brought David Silva on and he completely changed the game. Even though he was only on the pitch for a short period of time it was one of the best individual opposition performances I can remember at SJP it's an idea for when we have a long break, FA cup 4th round weekend maybe, create a team consisting of the best individual performaces for and against. Yaya Toure's at St James' the season they finished top and we finished 5th was exceptional. No player in the world could have stopped him from doing whatever the f- he wanted to do that day. We played class as well as I remember, they were gliding to the title by that point though, too confident for us. ...but aye, will make for a good discussion at a later day

He's somehow got even better with age. A joy to watch in the truest sense of the phrase. He's largely on a wavelength of his own; he dictates and pulls the strings over what is a superb group of players. Says it all really. The way he can find seemingly acres of space on the pitch is/will be a big problem for a team like ours. We deal in very fine margins, and he deals damage in large doses. We will need luck on our side if he plays.

Sterling & D Silva are the ones I worry about most tbh. There's also a chance both of them will sit the game out, according to the City forums. This would increase our chances of a win by 0.003%. We're gonna' do it boys.

I would like to see this tried out. Or Saivet & Shelvey for alliteration reasons only.

Dancing & kissing next. You can't beat dancing & kissing, such a classic combination. Such great.

Nice. But hand shaking seems a bit tame/ restrained for love.... how about eating his s***? I like to start at ground level and work my way up. Build the foundations. Besides, he seems a timid, quiet character and hand-shaking is great.

For some inexplicable reason I love this guy. I'd like to shake his hand, he seems to have a canny manner about him.

About on par with Leigh Griffiths record wise this season mind, not much in it. I thought he looked good a few seasons ago & fwiw he's the type of explosive, technical player I love, but it's been quiet for him this year. I'd still be pretty jealous of Brighton, but more because of them spending 18m on one player than who the player actually is.

Merry Christmas lads n' lasses, I've thoroughly enjoyed my first few months on this forum, some belta crack, and not just the stuff Disco's selling either. Here's to many more Enjoy & drink lots of Guinness.

A good bet would be for Man City to receive and penalty in the game. We concede so many, I'd like to see the comparative stats actually.

Only pure shamelessness or just plain ignorance could conjure up something so dim-witted.

His hold up ability has been surprisingly good I think, what has been lacking is his usually composed finishes. Some really poor efforts from him yesterday leaning back when a touch of a composure would have seen him with a brace. We still look more dangerous with him on the pitch though, so until we get that much needed better striker, Gayle/Joselu is probably what it will be.

Slight knock I think, I read he was touch and go for yesterdays game so shouldn't be anything serious.

Hell I think Mehdi Abeid is ahead of Colback and he's 730 miles away in Dijon.
