Saint Garrett

There's worse things.

If we just go after all these players from Holland, then surely this Black Box thing is a load of cr4p. Koeman is just going to Holland and signing the players he rates - (not the worst idea)

Yeah - cant believe they haven't done more to help the amount of queuing at HT. It really is shocking.

At least we have the following week off!

West Ham game, not this one.

I've seen loads of people drinking in the stands at SMS. There were 2 blokes just to our left at St James' Park last weekend who were drinking in the stand too.

Oh. I was listening to TalkSport on the way to work and they said they expected Yaya Toure to start against Chelsea. Looks like I misunderstood!

Would start with: Forster Clyne Fonte Yoshi Bertrand Davis JWP Reed Elia Pelle Tadic Should have Mane on the bench for this I think? No we won't it was Ivory Coast who went out, not Senegal.

Sanogo would have been a decent option from Arsenal until the end of the season

We want you to stay, we want you to staaayyyyy, Jack Cork we want you to stay... Insert Bertrand, Toby, Morgan, Clyney, Elia, Rodriguez, as and when fit...

TBF, I thought Bertrand was far worse than he actualy is, was really poor last year for Villa I thought, but has been a brilliant signing for us.

He scored though right?

Cork is a cracking player, and he'd be a miss, but if he wants either more money, or wants to move on then he can go. He's not first choice, and as much of a good player he is, theres no point in paying him over what we want to. I'm not convinced that we've only just offered him a contract, i'm sure that something was mooted in the summer, but never made it out in public. Now we're just turning up the screw and want to make a decision as we need to replace him in the summer if not. Maybe we'll bring in a top CM if we sell Morgan and then Reed will step in for Cork. Lets be fair, Cork has barely played this season and Reed is more than good enough to play.

Can't take too much credit, the majority of the narrative was taken from an article which was produced a few days after I created the thread!

Think you're only allowed 1 player from the same club, and 2 domestic loans. Think you can have up to 4 international loans on top of that. Something like that anyway.

I don't think there is anyway of saving Osvaldo, he's a loose cannon, and better off away from our club. Lets not forget the bloke nutted our Captain!

Met him in Sheffield the night we got nocked out the cup. He said he was gutted he was never given a chance to shine in the prem. Loved his time with us, and said he'd offer more than Mayuka ever has - struggle to disagree! Nice bloke.

Updated after the weekend...

Arsenal show everything.

Pretty sure the yellow kit we had a few years ago wasn't available to buy, first season up.

YELLOWS YELLOWS YELLOWS!

YELLOWS YELLOWS YELLOWS!!!

Not been impressed with Mings. Was chatting to some Ipswich fans before the game last night, and they said if they can get £10m for him, then get rid. Seems very leggy to me without great technical ability, however if this can be trained into him, then I can see him being a decent player. At the moment though, not good enough to play in the Prem IMO.

Going up Friday on the 6:30 flight from Soton, back on Monday afternoon - absolutely buzzing for this one! COYS. Top night out, great city, friendly locals, and another opportunity for an away win. We would have won there last season if it wasn't for Hooiveld.
