Hope Ralph can use the shit decisions from today to pull everyone together and push on.

VAR. Fuck off. What the point?

He couldn't conclude a deal to buy us. So now he's investing in developing players in South America. Nothing shady or concerning with this guy is there!? Dodged. A. Bullet.

So: will he influence the performance of our other attacking players, and lead to more directness in one-on-ones. Or will he learn the nifty trick of checking back inside and passing back to the CBs?

How can this kind of thing even be allowed to happen? A dirty, dirty business.

Said the bishops to the actress.

So 3 hours and counting. Think we'll sign anyone?

I saw him mentioned on here, and another forum; in the context of a suggestion we were linked to him. Though I've not seen a link. Someone should suggest that they just saw him at Winchester services though. Buying a pasty.

Lookman to Saints?

I remember Reed telling us to 'judge him at the end of the window' one time - if I recall it turned out okay. No such soundbites from anyone this time around though. Hopefully Ralph doesn't get pissed off with things.

Presumably the links etc we're hearing are driven by agents and bored journos, since afterall 'we do our business in private'. Guessing we don't let Vokins (and potentially Valery) go without incoming cover. I do have a nagging feeling we will soon be reflecting on a clusterfuck of a window though.

Are we certain Romeu & Diallo are out?

JWP, surely?

Leicester v Leeds is a decent watch. I wish we moved the ball as quickly as these 2 teams are.

I've had the same thoughts. It does seem strange. Hopefully someone can shed some light?

A keeper would be happy with that stop!

Incredible decision.

Surely we have someone else 'essentially' signed to allow this move to happen. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

A few decent moments, but really shows up the lack of depth in the squad. Disappointing in the end. Hope the season doesn't fall away now: would be great to find some freshness and secure a top 8.

Is Arteta's hair painted on?

Adams really can pick a pass.

A familiar, nagging feeling coming along for me: second half performances are rarely as good as our first these days. Need a second before halftime!

Cedric cross!

Pass from Long. Fuck me.
