What? A what now?? Is this the Christmas dinlo phenomenon this year?

Good read and good Reed!

No, Cabbage Face - you can tell by the posting style.

A job for Nige?

Oh I don't know, maybe he could listen to a forum member every different match and we'll see who does the best with him?

Well, you were wrong, with outdated info, just admit it!!

Good news to have someone in who obviously has some talent. If he's good, we benefit, if he's a d*ck, we can kick him out, so nothing lost.

What the hell is wrong with you? You're a proper weirdo. Have some respect and rather than posting on here like a complete tool about something irrelevant, just post some best wishes and then go away.

I think that's actually a good shout. Another player Chelsea have bought yet are happy to keep loaning out. Happy to keep taking them ... they've lost out on Cork and Lukaku, hopefully they'll lose out on Bertrand and let's add Bamford to that potential list. Any other players they seemingly don't give a monkeys about??

It's sad, but I love watching these!

And Wade Elliott. Isn't Wayne Bridge available too? He'd do.

Yes - it's definitely the truth.

That's a lot - I'm still on Virgin Media, only reason is that I like cable and there is no competition here for that. I pay £75/month for; XL TV (includes BT Sport HD) Sky Sports TiVo downstairs, V+ upstairs 152 meg BBI (which is pointless) Phone rental That is way too much - I've just this evening decided to downgrade to the basic TV package (never watch any of the channels), downgrade to the lowest BBI (who needs one hundred and fifty bloody two meg at home??) and dump the phone line as we never use it. What a waste of money.

F**k it, he sounds amusing. If we get the "Man City Dutch Balotelli" and not the "Liverpool Dutch Balotelli", we can't really complain.

I can't stand him, he really is the most miserable f**ker that exists, as summed up by this miserable post.

Sunderland, Newcastle and Everton matches I guess?

Yes - he's a very good defender who has happy to be backup and wait and when asked upon, has done okay. He's definitely someone who gets better with a run in the team.

It's not poor at all, everyone has said he looks knackered and been asking for him to be rested. He was rested and we won.

£2.5m a year, Saints or Man Utd. If he comes here, well, I'll be stunned.

hah! I do actually like/appreciate your analysis of footballers and matches, you're one of the more erudite posters who know what you're talking about. (god, I sound like a creep, but you know what I mean?) I like Chez's posts on matches as well, but he doesn't post enough.

1. Because he wanted more regular 1st team football 2. Because we've now had THREE managers who don't rate him as good enough for regular 1st team (starting) football Ironically he doesn't start for Hull much either, so that's now FOUR managers who don't think he's good enough for a first eleven start every week ...

Well we have, how many weeks ago was the Villa game? Which is the first game we were noticeably poorer/tired looking/injured in.

I'd much rather read match reports from people who aren't up themselves twerps, but hey ho.

Which is kind of my point, we're REALLY short on quality in depth.
