Yep, I think the 7 days rule for reds is to allow the club time to appeal. Obviously you can't appeal a yellow so there's no need for a delay in the ban. That's my take on it anyway. Definitely want a song for Marian too. Would love it if he was getting involved in the club in some capacity. He must know everything there is to know about physiotherapy.

Keep any eye out for Suarez being booked in Liverpool's game. I think I'm right in saying he's on 4 yellows and another would see him suspended for our trip to Anfield.

I'll take that. Looks like 4 sh*t performances from those results, Villa and Reading certainly were. Win tomorrow and we could go 15th if Wigan lose. 14th with a big win and a loss for the barcodes.

4 draws. We need everyone around us to be dropping points. Who knows which teams will still be in the relegation fight come the end of the season.

Not just hard work is it, a lot of it is down to the natural tallent and coordination most top level footballers are born with. I'm sure there are people out there who have put in twice as much effort as Barton (and many other Premier League footballers) and ended up stacking shelves in Asda. Just look at our 2005 FA youth cup finalists. Bale is one of the best players in the world, Feli Condesso doesn't even play professionally any more. Is it because Bale worked harder? I doubt it. P.S. I have worked in Marseille and spent a healthy amount of time with a cold glass of something next to the pool. All without the dodgy Inspector Cluseau accent.

What? Money? No amount of cash will change the fact that the bloke is a complete plank. As for tallent, he probably had the ability to play for England on a fairly regular basis but ruined it by having a sh*t attitude. Something he regularly seems to boast about on twitter.

Listen very carefully, I shall say zees only once...

Remember him rolling around like a girl in injury time of that JPT game instead of getting back to defend a free kick. We scored.

That's good to know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf0lLKoZRYg

Nobody believes it's that simple. As Steve said, many of them have probably had a pay rise well above their market value so will be unwilling to leave and take a pay cut. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to offload some of them. Players like Sharp, Hammond and Chaplow will be in fairly high demand by teams trying to get promoted from the Championship, it's all about getting the right price and wages.

I don't think ours do based on this season's evidence.

Will be a much tougher game, Norwich are in better form at the moment and wont have the injury issues Newcastle had. I wanted 4 points from these 2 games so a draw wouldn't be too bad. Still a winnable game though. Same team as Newcastle, injuries permitting. If Rickie has a knock I wouldn't risk him, he is sure to be fired up for Saturday's trip to Anfield and we will need him 100% fit to get a result up there.

I seem to remember Tevez scoring against Mexico in the world cup when he was a clear yard offside. The lino missed it but a replay was shown on the big screen, which all the players and officials watched. However the ref wasn't allowed to change his decision based on a replay and the goal stood. The Mexicans went mental, it nearly started a riot.

Just spent half an hour browsing that website. Good for a fair few lols although the SFW bit probably isn't entirely true.

Even if we sold all of those players, which we wont, it still leaves us with a fair amount of decent back up. 2 'keepers, Richardson, Jos, Fox, S. Davis, JWP, Mayuka and J Rod. That's a first team squad of 20 players. With 3 or 4 new signings that would be a pretty strong squad. In reality I think we will see 2 or 3 players sold, a couple of extended loans and maybe 2 or 3 signings. Also I forgot to add Butters to the list of players who can leave.

There are a few like Mayuka, JWP, S. Davis on the fringes of the squad who will no doubt stay but there are a fair few others who can't get near the first team. Who do we think might or should move on in January? Hammond - On loan for the season but I'd have thought a permanent deal with Brighton would make sense for all 3 parties. Sharp - Same as Hammond, can't really see him getting a look in here. Barnard - Loan expires in January. Would look to sell. Seaborne - Only on loan till the day after we play Reading. I was never convinced by him in League 1. Would look to sell. Forte - Not even named in our 25 man squad Dickson - As above De Ridder - CDAJF a Championship club, wont get a look in here Guly - We have better options now and should probably look to find one or two more in January Chaplow - Is he good enough, does he fit our current system? Don't think so. Lee - Maybe he just needs time after his injury. Not sure on this one, he did look good in his brief spell last year.

It's a photo shop. Apparently there is an aircraft with that registration but it's a small prop in a museum in Arizona. http://johnhumephotography.zenfolio.com/p566535760/h14840D84#h14840d84

Well we need someone else to replace Adkins now that Bagpuss has gone to QPR, she seems to have a pretty good grasp of things. Not sure about Delap though, we might have to explain that one to her.

West Ham looked pretty poor and have some very tought fixtures coming up. I don't think they will be in trouble this year but it wont be all that comfortable either. I missed Saints highlights as I'd only just got back in. Why couldn't Chelsea or Man City score a couple so that game was on first.

Would have prefered a draw there to keep Wigan in it. Feckin' Everton though, what's betting they had about 50 chances to make it 2-0 but had an 'off day' in front of goal. Sunderland, QPR and Reading lose with Villa possibly to join them this evening. Can't be too unhappy with that.

First for about 3 years I think. Was a penalty though.

I remember our damp rainy trip to Coventry last season. It's got to be one of the most dull, depressing places to live in Britain. Good job we won 4-2 otherwise I'd have probably killed myself.

One heck of a second half at the Stadium of Light. 4-2 to West Brom, that will do nicely.

Our defeat at West Brom maybe not looking quite as bad these days. If they can hang on to this lead (against a team who just can't score) they will be 2 points off the top of the League, albeit having played a game more than Man City.

6 other Premier League fixtures today and a few results we should keep an eye on. Sunderland vs West Brom (1245) - Away win please Everton vs Norwich - Everton Man Utd vs QPR - Man Utd Stoke vs Fulham - Fulham are 3 points ahead so them probably Wigan vs Reading - Draw Villa vs Arsenal (1730) - Arsenal please and in League 1.... Coventry vs Skates
