Good team. COYS.

Thought you lived in Bournemouth ?!

I have an unused ticket for today if anyone is interested. Can have it for free

Us to score more than 1 at home tomorrow....AND WIN. whats the odds?

Don't understand this logic...we have another 4 months, and could easily be dragged into a relegation battle.

West Ham now 2-1 up Carroll again! Watford winning at Bournemouth, West Brom comfortably 2-0 up vs Sunderland, Stoke 1-0 up vs Man Utd. Think i'd prefer a draw in the Bournemouth game, and a Man Utd comeback.

West Ham 1-0 up at Boro - Andy Carroll.

Doesn't actually say that - very misleading thread title.... Potentially he will be given a chance, however it says he's weighing it up. I would expect we're working pretty tirelessly to try and get someone, however we won't panic by and will go into Feb as we are unless we can find a deal that is worthwhile.

Great win for Swansea, can't see them going down with the quality they have up front. They're only 6 points behind us now. This is generally the time of year the bottom teams start putting together a few results.

2-3!!!

We can't score like they can.

Could do without them coming back from 2-0 to win this game. Coutinho has already been taken off for Weds I presume.

TBF we knew he wasnt really going to play until after the ACON. In addition, Mane was f*cking terrible until the ACON when he arrived.

Yep, spot on I feel. Think everyone is pretty sick of the only positive coming out the club at the moment is how many academy lads we've got playing. Problem is they're not going to get us top half Prem football.

Brilliant servant for us. Time to go though the way he's been acting this year.

Isn't Chambers at Middlesbrough still?!

Which is logical. However, we were never going to let him go that late in the window. Fair play for keeping him for another 6 months if we weren't ready to sell. Problem comes if we do not replace him.

I think it's a good deal for both parties. They get a decent CB for a season despite his ability deteriorating, and lets face it, £10m is bugger all these days. We get a decent chunk and a decent profit from the deal, and Fonte's best years, and are able to re-invest - this being the key part of it. Can we get by to the end of the season? I don't think we can, hence why the club has been trying to get Sakho on loan. We'd be buggered and risking relegation if VVD was to get injured, even for a few months. I don't think it's a great time to buy a CB as teams unlikely to want to sell them, so a short term replacement untilt he summer would seem like the best move. My bigger concern is what this means for the club in the bigger picture. The club captain wanting out, who else wants out? Why does he want out? Problems with the manager setup, continual selling of players? Lets face it he was likely to be replaced this summer anyway....

Utter toilet agreed....but we're 1-0 up in the tie and 90 mins from Wembley...

Attendances will naturally be down given our current predicament and boring football. However, its still a bloody semi final of the cup, got my tickets!!

Some current CB's playing in Ligue 1.... Nicolas Nkoulou Kamil Glik Dante Maxime Le Marchand Malang Sarr Paul Baysse Just got that from the black box (Football Manager/Wikipedia)

We now have our own song before the game to create an atmosphere......or is this a negative?!

No Steven Davis vs Leicester but VVD and Bertrand fit. -----------Forster Cedric VVD Yoshi Bertrand ----------Romeu------------- -----Clasie--Hojbjerg------- Redmond---JRod----Tadic

No excuse this year though because we have a stronger squad....jsut a worse first XI...supposedly.

You say that, but doesn't he have one of the best pass % in the last few years for a defender.
