Would love it if we could get him here on loan. Austin, Gabbi, KI and SG would be a decent set of attacking options.

In the same way as buying a brolly guarantees it wont rain.

I always thought Fonte was as culpable as Hooiveld in our first season back up. The latter never got the benefit of playing alongside Lovren, Toby or Virgil, in front of Forster or behind Wanyama or Romeu. Fonte was good when he was here, I'm not trying to re-write history but it's a heck of a lot easier when you're alongside that kind of quality.

We need to win 4 more games than them and there are only 8 left to play. Never in a million years.

Bit of a mixed bag for City at the mo, in terms of form. Hopefully the team who played in Monaco will turn up, not the one which won 5-0 at West Ham. Same team baring J Rod in for Long, it it were up to me. Hopefully Gabbi can be fit enough for the bench.

Oh shut up, nobody cares what that idiot says. I'm most impressed that we've managed to win away with our best CB, striker and midfielder all absent. Also I'm pleased Clasie and Forster had decent games, although I'm fairly sure the former will depart in summer. I'd say getting above the Baggies and finishing 8th has to be our realistic (if meaningless) target. Top half and a possitive GD if nothing else please.

Well, we are winning way from home.

WTF are Reading taking this afternoon?

It's West Brom for crying out loud. They just lost to Watford and have naff all to play for.

He scored in his last game against them.

37 points will keep somebody up this season. We could put the kids out for the rest of the season and not be in danger.

Wonder if Fonte has a relegation wage drop clause...

Agree. If he's worth £30m, Yoshida is worth £40m from what I saw.

Going to be very tricky without Rom and Davis. I, guessing Hoj and Clasie will start in their place. Both really need to put in a performance. Other than that just J Rod for Long, unless Gabbi is 100%. No need to rush him back.

You're making yourself look foolish, that was a blatant handball and the replay showed it.

Stonewall Arsenal penalty not given.

Boro were awarded a goal blatantly a good yard offside tonight. I'm sure some will say the gaping chasm between de Roon and the last defender is "open to interpretation" but hey ho.

Glad I'm not alone, can't believe so many people keep making excuses about how hard he works and gets into some great positions. What's the point in having pace and movement if you're absolutely hopeless when it comes to kicking the ball. Redmond, Yoshi, Romeu, Tadic and Cedric all excellent tonight I thought. JWP still improving and Forster had a great save at the start of the second half. When you think our weak points are currently a striker and Stephens, you can't help but wonder how good we might be with Virgil and Gabbi in the side.

Why on Earth would Spurs want J Rod? I'm going to take a punt on; Shaw to Everton J Rod to West Brom Lukaku to Man Utd Martial to Everton on loan Bertrand to Liverpool Virgil to Barcelona Cedric to Man Utd

Then the goal would stand as they would basically be playing an advantage. Not a farce. Simple.

It quite clearly isn't, it's very simple. If an offside flag is raised you play on until the ball goes out of play, by which time the video ref has decided whether or not it was on/off. How is it a farce?

If the flag goes up you play to the whistle, nothing remotely complicated about it. Most of the time players play to the whistle anyway.

He'll go to a top 6 team, this is just Glasgow's latest thing to get attention. Everton are in a different League to Saints and we're all competing for 8th now.... apparently.

Why have the Portuguese built a statue of David Coulthard?

I was sat behind some fat lard for the West Brom game.
