Slow going this morning, we've made 2 from five and bit overs. Wicket must be really tricky.

Won't happen, a total non-event. Always seems to be injured anyway.

Says he's not going to play for them again. Whether that's still the case in 10 days time remains to be seen. Doubt it myself.

I assume that's loosely translated from Urdu or something. I mean sack of football club really.

In fact the so called black box is only as useful as the people using it can make it..

Good day with the ball, Durha Ao for 213, now we need a serious effort from the top order to get a decent lead.

It was only on loan at Marseille anyway, total circus..probably better off not going there.

Did indeed, Spurs stopped it because they weren't sure of getting a replacement in time.

Couple of new blokes today then, or at least new to me, McClaren and Stevenson. McLaren opened the bowling, 2 overs for 2 runs so far, Edwards on the other hand seems to be getting tonked...again.

You can't really tell, Mijytlland were agressive, perhaps excessively, had some sort of game plan and the ability to enforce it. Norwich on the other hand were just ferking useless in every department. We played well against Norwich but you have to face up to the fact that they were criminally poor for a supposedly PL side.

But he wouldn't have been on an enormous amount at Red Bull. With his share of the transfer and a bit of a signing on fee even 25K would have been a substantial increase. Trouble is it becomes instantly derisory when he starts putting in a few good performances.

can't see what difference it would make to them anyway, they were already 2 nil down and playing like a pub team with no hope of scoring themselves.

Where do you get that from? 400,000€ a month is about 70K £ a week. So if that's a lot more than us then we're not paying him a great deal..by PL standards anyway. At 22K£ a week you could say we're underpaying him actually. If that's really the sort of sum that these lads are on at Saints I can see why they all want to leave.

Soon be 60% belgian at Spurs then. Nothing doing on Witsel though, Zenith have said no.

2 years down the line it would seem. He has a contract for another 2 years yet. He's a silly billy and needs to sort himself out.

Because he asked not to play....by all accounts anyway. Wasn't he in Oceana on Saturday night as well?

don't think so, just a friendly. Got booked and hit the bar, perhaps he did that because he was pîssed off eh.

Spanish media are saying that Ranocchia has turned us down.

Obviously some rapidly migrating bacteria or other then.:)

Could have said West Brom as that's our next game i think, preferred to cite Utd as it's the one after.

Even then as Koeman has no time whatsoever for the South American lightweight that we already own he's not very likely to swop a decent but temporarily troublesome DM for another one in the same mould. It's all just specualtion, Lamela is signing for Marseille on loan..

Just what I was thinking, before we all start getting starry eyed about JWP, Romeu etc we need to see what they can do against decent opposition because Norwich were absolutely clueless yesterday. We played well, they're just a bunch of championship hacks reduced to 10 after a few minutes for 2 of the silliest close together cards that'll you'll ever see. We can judge our side and our players after the Utd game.

sounds like total bollorks if you don't mind me saying so. If he just wanted a longer contract then there's no reason for him to all wrong in the head about it now is there. Whether he gets it last week or next week makes absolutely no difference at all and there's no earthly reason for him to kick up trouble when we have an important game.

Probably why they don't seem to have many decent footballers in their stable.

Well as we've said we're not selling him he might as well have a 10 day jolly in Kenya really. Bloke has serious issues it would seem.
