wtf are you on about?

Whops shaw.

I love shaw. Puts himself about, wins most headers.

All too easy.

Looks like the feed from the Britannia has gone

Jones should have scored that really, all opened up a bit too much for Stoke there.

Great goal, great play. Take a bow do prado

terrific find mate, no ads either!

Guly has done a decent job covering so far down the left..

5 mins have gone. Game over surely.

Puncheon keeps slipping..!

I wouldn't have thought so.

Let's all just calm down a bit.....let's see how the game pans out before throwing our toys out.

Looks like Yoshida at right back, it is quite odd if I'm honest. Not seen the bench yet, but assuming we have a few knocks.

Yeah, Yoshida is pretty horrific at full back. Etherington, should, have a field day.

Good point, missed that. Assumed that was Clyne. Well we've obviously gone to match them up height wise. Going by the amount missing, I reckon we must have a fair few knocks.

Interesting selection....obviously didn't see this as a game for Gaston or Yoshida, which I do kind of agree with. Guly will play the number 10 role, Rodriguez on the left I imagine. Thought Boruc might have been given a shot though.

He seems to be a regular member of the squad, although doesn't play a great deal for them. Although he's got some pretty decent CB's at that level to shift! I think he's only got a couple of caps, last one came back in November.

This would be a signing we have no right to make, given the players stature and our position - so it's par the course that we'll try.....nice.

The Butterfield one is very odd, not quite sure. Can only imagine he's a big part in the background in terms of squad morale, and training routeens. He's probably getting a fair wage for PL player, so he's probably not massively bothered! I'm not really keen to ship Lee out, just yet. I think there is a player in there, but we just need to find him again.

I dunno, I think it's just a coincidence. Baird or Willimason didn't turn out too badly, and I don't think Matt Mills is too bad a player either. But the DNA machine at Staplewood seems to be programmed for small, blonde, pacey players at the moment. Until that's changed, I can't see any new CB's on the horizon...!

I dunno, I just know that the Staplewood development took a u-turn as there was ''uncounted'' for costs which needed to be put upfront in order for it to carry on (They found out that the Dome needed to be knocked down and rebuilt again, when originally it was just going to be attached to the main pavilion). Until this obstacle was accounted for, work couldn't happen. So we could have been left with a building site, and loads of temporary huts for months and months...or the club could quickly fire through some money to get work going again ASAP.

I think there will be movement in and out. We've got some players on our books who need to go for the sake of their careers. (Seaborne, Dickson, SDR, Chaplow, Barnard). Ok, we won't get much for those - but they're off the wage bill at least. We could get a couple of million for Sharp, but not much more than that, and probably 500 odd K for Hammond. Unfortunately I don't think our ''unwanted'' players are going to fetch much in the way of fee's, but It'll free up wages and I'm sure there is a little bit of money available to add. There are a few who may expect 6 or 7 new arrivals, but at max I reckon we'll see about 3 new players.

Looked a lively little player. would imagine he'd be looked at for the development squad though.

I go with that. He was in the team of the year for 3 consecutive years, I think that's more than enough proof from the professionals and the stats that he did a damn fine job for us.
