Window Cleaner

Depends on KD's status, if he's injured or ill as his absence on Sunday and last week would tend to suggest then we're down to one first team keeper. I've no idea of Cropper's status so perhaps we have to count him as "active" as well.

A tough decision indeed, pick one out of two bad keepers. Toss a coin, both will let us down equally badly.

Probably because the prices are tempting for the quality you'd expect from their performances there. I'd think that after this summer's disater buys all across the PL board most recruiters will be thinking twice about players from Italy in the future. Premier League clubs must have dumped about 200 million towards the Calcio last summer and I'd doubt that there's a single success story.

Our players are too expensive for most sides. They're all on long term contracts and Cortese drives a hard bargain apparently so I'd expect clubs who are short in certain sectors to look elsewhere. Lovren is a good player but NC wll ask upwards of 15 million so I'd doubt that he'll be a really attractive prospect to most, not when you could get players like Mangala for half of that.. Probably not as good obviously but a third choice centre half is a third choice centre half. The only advantage for top clubs to buy from clubs like Saints is that anyone they did buy would be immediately available for the CL whereas cheaper options playing in what I'd call minor leagues won't be.

Is KD even fit ? Could be Gazza in goal with Cropper on the bench on Wednesday if he isn't.

could he really be any worse than JWP yesterday ? I'd say notoriety has gone to JWP's head, he was useless yesterday and his much vaunted set piece kicks were a total waste of time.

Gaston is on his way out, don't see him ever starting for us again, unless we run out of fit players that is.

I'd even pick Cropper, can't be any worse than Gazza.

Well I'd say that it's because the 12.8 million £ striker that we bought to overcome that exact problem has scored just 1 goal in all the games he's played this season. English football is too fast and too intense for players of his sort. To highlight this: One of the experts commenting yesterday's game for Canal+ had been talking to Dejan in the week. Apparently he (Dejan) said that he liked PL football because real tackles were permitted to the extent that what passes for a typical ordinary tackle here would get you 3 years in prison in France or Italy. There's a real why very few players from Italy make the grade in the UK and chairmen need to take heed of it. Osvaldo might be worth 13 million to an Italian or Sanish club but he's not worth that here, expect him to be gone in January along with Gaston, neither will want damage their WC chances by not scoring in the PL. To be a really good PL striker you need to be extremely fast or extremely robust, Osvaldo is neither.

Mayuka? He's absolute rubbish at Sochaux which is a league 1 side at best apart from Corchia that is. He's been put out to grass for a reason.

Is neither an option ?? Neither controls the area well enough for the PL, for me it's Hobson's choice and thus just doesn't matter which one gets the nod, both will be disastrously shyte.

Cabaye is only still at Newcastle because he was injured last summer. There's a big bag of Qatari cash already sitting on the table at St James Park just waiting for the 1st January to be opened. Cabaye to PSG is a done deal, they'll fall apart without him.

Well I'd have to admit to rarely having felt so deflated after a match, probably because of the euphoria of scoring after 13 seconds. Felt Chelsea pushed us back with ther incessant driving forward from midfield and that Ivanovitch caused us to shift some of our midfield effort to a defensive role. Some very disappointing performances for me above all JWP, thought he looked totally out of his depth and of course Osvaldo. The injuries and substitutions didn't do us any good either and I fear that we're now in for a bit of a struggle if Morgan and Artur are out for long. It's pretty evident that Gaston will only get a game when he's the last bloke in the SO postal district with a pair of boots and I'm not as big a fan of the Academy set up as many are. Gazzaniga just gives me the creeps, contrary to some I thought a decent keeper would have done better with at least the third goal. All we need now is for Victor to get a yellow on Wednesday and we'll take the thumping of our lives next week-end.

Rodwell ? Might have been a bit older though

to be honest he rarely does, seen people looking better in old folks homes. It's the f*cking haircut...allegedly..

And José practising his Argentine Elbow.

that's bad news for us then, Torres can be a real menace if he fancies it.

Nasri, Clichy...both sold by the Arse to Citeh. Then there's Fellaini who's in theory a top player, then there's Torres, the list is endless.

Knew I shouldn't have mentioned Last Exit to Brooklyn, how come Bearsy has never serialised that then, makes 50 Shades of Grey look like a Giles Annual.

no but seriously though, when you're a crap footballer playing for a crappy club in a crappy league and someone offers you a bit of a bonus for doing something that you might end up doing anyway it must be tempting right ?

I don't smoke either, did once though, think it was for about a week when I first went up to Uni, didn't like it, never bothered to try again (well not with real cigarettes anyway).

cut your hands off, that should help.

It's easy, done it loads of times :rolleyes:

not read Last Exit to Brooklyn then, there's a whole passage about the camaraderie of waiting in line for a gang bang.

mind you a better haircut might help, where does he get that ?
