Fulham are irrelevant, they are hopeless defensively and won’t be making up 7 points on the rest of the pack. They concede 2 in every game and are nothing special going forward.

Stephens isn't a scapegoat but he is a f**king idiot. Every game he seems to do something ridiculous and drop us in it.

Well, obviously.

Fair enough. Feels like hours.

Why do people say this, it’s going to be at least 8.

Must have been a screaming, great left footer.

He’s been fit for nearly 2 games already, he is due another injury.

Would probably take it personally.

Here please. Yellows!

Interesting team. Good to see Armstrong starting, guessing that’s JWP at RWB.

Palace are level on points with us, I don’t see them as being any safer than we are. The difference is that they are pretty much a 1 man team and if Zaha doesn’t turn up they don’t win. If we hadn’t made about 4 silly mistakes in a row, they wouldn’t have scored against us on Wednesday. They’re the kind of team that can easily lose 6 on the bounce.

A draw for Fulham against Palace would be handy.

More wilful misunderstanding here; it was your fictional account of Swansea winning 5 games before the end of transfer window (they won 3), assuming they were safe (they were 19th) signing nobody (they spent a fair bit on Ayew) loaning out a bunch of players (they were mainly kids who weren’t getting in the team) and complacently sliding into the drop zone (they were in it already) which we can all live without.

He has a point, regarding both the decline in quality of football and the winter break.

Simple choice between someone who is useless and runs a lot or someone who is useless and jogs around. A bit tragic really.

Disappointed with the window. We desperately needed to strengthen up front and instead all we did was sell Gabbi. I’m not sure where this leaves us if... sorry, when Ings is injured and Valery is suspended. I was confident we’d be well clear of the drop a couple of weeks ago but that was partly based on the assumption that we’d make a decent signing or two. Oh well, in Rabbit we trust.

Never in the history of the internet has so much been discussed by so many about so little.

What do you mean ‘if’? It’s Deppo

Longs only real talent is running around in spaces. Palace were sitting deep and there were no spaces, therefore a tidy technical player was the correct choice. Yes I am aware it’s Moi we’re talking about and that we are essentially comparing a kick in the nads to a paper cut on your todger.

Oi, I call dibs on this one.

Nope. He would still be crap in my book. Had he scored against Burnley, Cardiff or any other team except Arsenal, instead of being useless, then I might hold a different opinion.

No he can’t. The only goals he has score have been on an empty pitch at Wembley and against Koscielny, who hadn’t played in 6 months, was blatantly unfit and had been on the pitch 85 minutes compared to Austin’s 20.

We signed Elyounoussi in June and signed Mane, Virgil and Toby on Deadline Day. I'm not sure it really matters.

Because the majority of people actually want to sell Austin. How is that hard to understand?

11 years since we cleared out the 'deadwood' of Rasiak and Skacel on deadline day, then nearly got relegated. I'd say that was a worse January window at the time.
