Dark Munster

Not desperate, but sensible. If they are after another established striker it means they are not resting on their laurels, and realise that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to win the league (or at least qualify for the CL). Without a decent backup, an injury, suspension or loss of form to Vardy could undo all their good work. I wish we had had the same attitude a year ago, when we were a backup striker (and GK) short and otherwise could have had a decent shot for top 4. This.

Injured arms I think. Hopefully the legs will be better by next year.

I wouldn't moan either if I was on £60K per week. Although fair play to him to take a £20K per week cut to be able to play elsewhere.

Not to mention that there were no FA cup matches prior to the Palace match, before or during our streak of eight losses in 10.

Don't you mean 2nd place trophy? I refer you to post 87.

"Mauricio Pochettino refuses to be rushed into signing a striker after having his fingers burned with Dani Osvaldo at Southampton." No, you burned our fingers, you bastard.

Wow, that's a lot. In fact if a striker makes his debut for Saints and doesn't score he should hang his head in shame.

You mean like Arsenal at SMS a month ago?

Don't worry, he'll be crying all the way to the bank soon.

That's an impressive subs bench!

A couple of weeks ago we were looking at this match with trepidation. 3 successive impressive wins, plus an Austin, and things have turned around 180 degrees. I guess Austin probably will start, so who makes way? Defensively it's hard to see any changes from the team that started, and played brilliantly, against Man U. Although with 10 days rest Davis may be fit from his mysterious injury.

Well, that's understandable. Every penny counts for paupers.

Epic bump ... over 6 years.

Yes, but it does imply not B implies not A. In other words, this has 0-0 written all over it.

You mean like we were for 15 years or so?

So how's Austin's injury?

Tails should be up a bit now for this one, although Pulis' teams are never easy. I'd start with the same 11 that started today, who were all excellent. Please Ron, keep Big Vic on the bench (or in the stands).

Are we playing Barcelona tonight?

Is Gazza injured? Madness to have Kelvin ahead of him, if not.

We need a quality striker Les.

But still very reliable.

Much better, thank you. Let's hope it catches the attention of Les.

This. Although you should have put WE REALLY NEED A STRIKER in bold font.

Well at least we all agree that Villa are doomed.
