Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

I can't believe we're re-signing Neil McCann to fill that number 11 shirt. You wanted a winger, well they've delivered again (unlike McCann ever did). In all seriousness, any indication who this might be? Will we hold the news back for Nicky C's new BFF, Jim White, to deliver at fever pitch? We're Sky tipped off and that's why they've been hanging round SMS like a desperate WAG wannabe?.

I wonder if a last minute bid for Callum McManaman might be in order. Talented and fits our profile?

Hey, he looks good. Sign him up!

So another fruitless day of F5ing on Monday then?

Poor performance, poor result. Not the end of the world but we don't seem to have the same verve up front as last year and a pacy forward to push the opposition back line back and create space in front of it would be a wise addition before Monday is out.

I don't think he does simply have to accept our terms but maybe give it more than 2 games. It may be that the manager subsequently decides Cork is a better player than the 12m man over time.

Great attitude from JWP. Also likely to be responsible for circulating the embarrassing/incriminating photos from the Xmas party as the only sober one on site?

Whatever happened to fighting for your place? 2 games out if the side, it'd be a sad indictment of the game now if that meant he needed to move on for personal reasons (unless Poch has told him there will be minimal game time this season).

Works for me...

I know it rolls over until Monday because the 31st is on a Saturday but I wondered if there would be some merit in starting it earlier, just in case there are any whispers at the game today. Poch did indicate in his press conference he'd be happy to go with what he's got but he did also say they are still keeping an eye on the market. Also I'd have thought there would be more fringe players leaving, as Deano did yesterday.

All the best Deano. Great skipper for us at an important time in our development. Wish him well.

I always thought the opposite. He was like a fart which, just when pride in his work was at hand, you realise he'd spoiled it by following through.

Thank God Lambert has hair or would've had NO chance of a call up!!

Improvement on last season's result but once again struggled to break down a massed defence after an early set back. Osvaldo encouraging if he can stay on the pitch. JWP man of the match easily. Going to be some player...

£37 million spent? Same result as last season? There, that should get us a last minute goal...

Been a few in Menorca where I was until yesterday, including mine.

Last year I go away and we sign Ramirez whilst I'm away; this year I'm away and we sign Osvaldo. Top, top signing - brilliant stuff again from the chaps running the club. For those of you who continue to want to see big name signings, I'm happy for you to start up a fund to ensure I'm out of the country for the duration of all transfer windows...

Worked for Puncheon. Sign him up.

That's better. An offer which says "here's a big pile of cash Pablo, you've got 48 hours to sign up or you can p*ss off" and we move on.

How lucky Nicky C is holidaying right outside Osvaldo's house carrying nothing but a contract and a pen in his case.

Is there a limit to how many times you can watch that goal before it becomes creepy?

Does this mean we are not selling Rickie to Reading then?

Got no words suitable. F**king legend comes close though.

OMG! 2 mins 45 seconds. Legend.

Surely 1 goal Welbeck will save us? Or maybe 15 goal Lambo would be a better bet. What d'ya reckon Roy???
