Don't start this again ffs.

Covered in the deadline day thread.

That sounds like a "covering all our bases" article - if he goes in the summer they can say "oh look, we were right" and if he doesn't then it is just forgotten.

They seem to be signing every other f*cker - Andy Reid at the training ground as well. He could well improve the team, but Beattie? He won't do any better than what they have now.

Suarez is a cracking signing for Liverpool.

Jesus, the amount of debt management/money claiming adverts on SSN is obscene.

Fair play to Sergio Aguero - could get a move to any club in the world, but wants to stay at Atletico.

Brave Little Toaster. Lighthouse, you are now my favourite person on this forum.

Any idea if the Beattie rumours are true?

Could be back on loan Either way, not long before I get to lock this hysterical piece of crap.

I thought this, as the clubs PR man he would be there for any announcements.

That interview still fills me with hope, even watching it now.

What a shame

You think that a keeper should not be stood at the near post when the ball is out wide?

There were shots on target for the Notts County game, those stats are buggered. How a header that is cleared off the line doesn't count is beyond me. And out of the 15, 7 were on target. Obviously we're a better side with Lallana in the team, it's just a pretty silly thing to say that he in any way effects the finishing ability of the rest of the team.

We HAVEN'T created fewer chances. If we had, then I would agree with you that Lallanas absence was having an effect, but as I said you cannot possibly believe that him being on the pitch automatically makes everyone else better finishers - that's a ridiculous notion. Tranmere loss 2-0; 15 shots on goal Oldham won 6-0; 14 shots on goal.

How can we take that forward from yesterday? And it's too early to be calling Chaplow and Morgan Prem quality IMO.

All coincidence. We still created the same level of chances when he was out of the side as when he was in. There is no way that Lallana being out of the side made every other player in our team worse at sticking the ball in the net after the chance was created.

So you freely admit you have no idea what the reason is, and you still think it's wrong? Perhaps the club wasn't even approached by the Sun given our history. Perhaps we didn't want to associate ourselves with them (again, given our history).

This was clear anyway, some people just paid too much attention to the coincidence that we didn't win with him out the side.

What a surprise. ITV talk about United and Chamberlain, and no-one else.

Is anyone really surprised? There'll always be trouble somewhere when a club like United comes to town.

Whilst I echo the sentiments in the original post, this is covered in the post match reaction thread...

Title edited for accuracy.

Watched the game in a pub full of random fans who wanted us to win, and 2 United fans. Very proud of the team tonight. Went nuts when Chaplow scored.
