I would think that if we were still trying to bring another midfielder in we'd be desperately trying to ship one out. AP says it isn't happening and that's good enough for me.

the trouble with this season is that 2 teams in our division may well finish with more than 100 points each and 4 others may well ber close to 80. If you take Huddersfield as about the worst of the top teams (don't include millwall their position is false) they have 45 points from 26 games and projecting that they would finish on 79+. So having minus 10 and then taking 4 from 6 made our job ridiculously difficult. We've been getting good results but the -10 will eventually stop us making the top 6.

OK, hope we think he's worth whatever figure was agreed them. However I do think we need to play him more if we really want him to stay. Morgan didn't translate what he said yesterday very precisely and it would seem to me that Papa is somewhat peturbed about his lack of playing opportunities of late.

I think he means they had 8 points less than the team who were top when Lambert took over. They did get mightily tonked by Colchester very early on in the season.

I think Fiorentina's attitude may depend on whether Mutu gets another ban for stimulant use or not.He could get up to 2 years apparently if his wishy washy "the mother in law left them behind" excuse for taking the tablets doesn't impress the CONI (who don't seem to be easily impressed by anything) Edit seems that that they're signing Cassano from Samp to replace him so Papa may be for sale fairly cheaply.

45 points out of 57 is certainly a long shot. Much will depend on our games against the current top 6 and Huddersfield (who are virtual 6th because they need 1 point from 2 games in hand to overtake Millwall) Winning 14 out of 19 will be exceptional really, especially as it means beating any 2 of Leeds,Norwich,Charlton,Huddersfield and Swindon and probably not losing to 2 of the others.

Not surprising, he was terrible

Barnard takes penalties (or took them for Southend) his open play goal count is probably something like Lallana's or Papa's (from far fewer games). A player should never be judged on his goal count if he takes penalties. Anyway at Southend he was probably the head honcho of the strike force (:smt036) and the game was played to suit his qualities, here it's probably different. some say he is far too similar to Lambert in style..

Pardew keeps saying that Wotton needs a rest but he doesn't act on it. What he says is fairly vague, doesn't mean it will happen. Like this history with Danns for instance, AP says no more yet we still have a bid in for him (apparently)

for the same reason as the MOM poll I guess.

Millwall aren't really relevant to our case unless Huddersfield start losing matches.Millwall are above Huddersfield because they have played 2 more matches but our true position vis a vis the playoffs should not be confused by this.

We don't have a game in hand over either Swindon or Huddersfield, they both have a game in hand over us. It's 18 and 15 points respectively if they should both win the game in hand that they have over us.

whereas le gaffeur means some-one who makes a lot of gaffs.A blunderer . We even have a TV presenter called Vincent LeGaffe and Gaston Lagaff is a sort of Andy Capp cartoon character

injured hip/groin

I heard him he said a straightforward no..no nuances,no bullsh*t, just no.

no more in, no-one out... AP

take it up with Solent then, they said Danns scored goals today and that he was still a target

Not if we win 2-0 it won't be

But we have better-Papa-who is probably 5 times the player that Barnard is.

90 in total ?

Danns still a transfer target for AP...according to Solent

No gloom and doom for my part, I new we'd win but it's just this senseless splashing of the cash on crap like Barnard that irks me, when we have far better warming the bench.

Lambert doesn't want to be rested ..goal bonus obligé

why have we just paid money for Barnard then? We have Papa and Connolly and now we need a bloke from Crawley. Smacks of impulsive spending if you ask me..Barnard that is.

It's Huddersfield that we need to start losing.Swindon are beyond our grasp.
