A beautiful side foot pass to the overlapping full back in full stride while throwing in the dummy swipe with his other foot, delightfully eccentric, skillful and totally intended. A joy to watch.

Shrewsbury at home please!

Yes Graziano yes!!!! First of many please!!

Of course a player needs to be fundamentally able but there is an emerging track record of Fonte's defensive partners playing above themselves and struggling to match the same level once gone. Aaron Martin and Dan Seaborne played comfortably at Championship level yet have not looked up to it elsewhere. Who was his defensive partner at Palace?

The performance at Liverpool showed that the performance of the central midfielders is crucial, they need to take charge and support in all areas. A fully motivated Morgan Schneiderlin would be ideal, Victor will always be more inclined to support the back four and sit deep. We need our midfield to push up and support Pelle and distribute wide when pushing forward. I would actually look to bring in Taider for Morgan Schneiderlin and use Jay Rodriguez on the left of the front three. 4-3-3 was not too dissimilar to Pochettino's preferred formation, I hope it will click in soon with our new blood.

Yes. It would say a lot if he did sign a new contract.

On that basis, and taking the word of our chairman on face value we will not be signing Townsend.

I just hope we actually try to be a bit more adventurous against them. Fundamentally our defensive shape looks good, now we need to start unlocking the opposition, if we cannot manage it against an Ian Holloway championship side then I will have major concerns.

He would deserve the chance. And sadly it would be his first step out of the door.

...Farrah, yes. Someone who can run all day.

Lovren was highly criticised by the Lyon fans, Fonte marshalled the back four with him and he excelled, now he is without his leader he is looking a shadow. Who is Liverpool's leader at the back, did they pay the money for it to be him? Could the bizarrely unfashionable Fonte be the key ingredient here?

My feeling too. Time will reveal the answer.

Either of those would be superb. I don't think we would have a chance in hell of signing them mind.

As a leftfield option they currently have Surface 2 tablets on offer in Curry's PC World. Got one for Mum (who just needs a reliable browser, facebook and the other toys) and it's fantastic, been playing with it for the last few days. It also has a MicroSD card slot. There is a netflix app in the windows store and Sky Go will work via the browser. Also has full MS office installed, tres handy. Otherwise there tends to be great deals on the slightly older Samsung Galaxy tabs, which is what i'm sure you saw earlier.

Claiming that mid table Championship would be a reasonable aim before back tracking. Bless you Merovingian for caring.

Damp squib. West Brom were awful, we didn't look bothered.

First home league game since moving back to Hampshire. A wonderful feeling.

First Townsend floated around and now Welbeck. An admission that there is an awful lot of 'ordinary' around the national team.

Clearly not enough if you keep coming back for further helpings.

The only person who cannot resist biting whenever food comes up. And you have the cheek to call other people greedy Turks.

Against Liverpool we matched their total shots and had more on target. We also had more corners then the Scousers although they did shade possession. We deserved at least a point. In the Man City game they were all over us, 64/36 possession, 15 shots on target compared to 6, 20 total shots compared to 9. Our two goals were against the run of play. Two very different games. I am going for a win v West Brom.

As such a re-naming may be in order. No way should it be shut down, Mero's latest delusional contribution and hasty back-track serves as proof, there's plenty more fun to be had at that cesspit of a club's expense.

Nutshell. The availability of fan-sites and media online has for me rendered the fanzine obsolete. I cannot see what a specific fanzine can offer that would be entirely unique.

Such great news. Looks as though SISU are still committed to trying to own the Arena outright but they are finally co-operating with Arena Coventry Ltd for the benefit of the community. My friends up there are absolutely made up right now, shame i'm no longer there to join them on the friday night for the Gillingham game.

That did not answer my question. Why are you doing this? Why persist in going on here in Artur's name?
