Its a good job Fonte's new contract was announced earlier in the week. Otherwise this place would be awash with conspiracies after this abscence as to him leaving on Jan 1st.

I posted this earlier : Yes, I'd like to see RC back, but I'd also like to see the "return" of others - Lallana for prime example - to their form of earlier in the season.

As was Puncheon at MK, but that did not stop us doing a deal with his parent club. Not sure if there are any differences in the type of loan deal here that might prevent it though.

Goals in L1 don't count though, according to some people on the Jordan Rhodes thread.

loan perhaps ?

Perhaps, with the benefit of hindsight, but I also expected a couple of fresher players to come in tonight. I do think we are overplaying the loss of Chaplow to be honest. Yes, he was in great form at the time, but we had started the season in excellent form with him on the bench.

**** sake guly

****ing hell

chance after ****ing chance

****ing david **** james

Good position free kick. make it count saints

Just can't see us scoring tonight

Saints really turn up heat, 0-0 or 0-1 written all over it

****ing hell how many chances are we not gonna score for **** ****ing sake

Not andy moon ffs

Cork playing well

Good rendition of OWTSGMI

I've got it now mate

Good for a crap team like Cov. More than Rodriguez, and I think, Sharp. Not sure if LJ is the answer myself either, but his scoring record bodes reasonably well.

can't wait for this...

Never ceases to amaze me how the fat reptile Slobberdyce goes public on this, in the same way 'arry does in order to unsettle a player. As someone else pointed out, its good that NC/NA manage to conduct issues with dignity and discretion. To apply a Keeganism, I'd love it, really [f'kin] love it, if we pulled off a major signing that no bastard in the media or elsewhere had wind of.

Is he that good though ? Saw he scored five the other week but was that a fluke ? At 6'5" he does not appear the nippy strike/foil for Lambert many on here are craving for. I thought the big Dutch potential was Luuk De Jong, but his club seem to want silly money £7-10m. Still perhaps he'll sign same day as Shaqiri.

Not to mention, including a reference to Skacel signing. That really would be a ribtickler.

Timing of this is a remarkable coincidence as Pardew has today said he is likely to be in the market for a defender.
