Bakovnetski

More rumours around suggest this will go http://www.jarrowandhebburngazette.com/sport/transfer_latest_ex_sunderland_star_set_to_leave_stoke_for_southampton_1_4196544

Or Chaplow. Is it me or does no-one else believe that his absence since beginning December is the key reason we are not putting sides under pressure in MF and getting results? He was definitely doing a brilliant job in MF (L/C/R) before he got injured.

Admit I thought we may be lucky to be in the top 6 by the end of October originally, but having seen the opposition I am disappointed we missed points against Derby and Reading. Showed we missed Lallana for the midfield creative spark, Need to look at bringing another in maybe?

We have looked weak down the right with Guly in front of Richardson recently. Seems that most times neither could beat a man or put in a cross. Don't know if Guly feels out of it or not but it doesn't look right its working there IMO.

Same debate was had about Beattie in his pomp in the Prem. Played 1/2 a game and tanked.

This season:- Pompey, Boro, WHU, Cardiff, Derby, Brighton - all twice Leeds and Forest - again Leicester at home

Playoffs - lose to Derby (deja vu)

I was at the festival in Edinburgh and just thought what else could possibly go wrong for us. Luckily Markus had a legacy which is coming to fruition. He will be remembered as the man saved us from the wolves and put us back on the right track. RIP

Did he pay for his ticket though?

Obvious Twin Peaks fan Ron. Did the Log Lady give you wood?

Not on the market anymore. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14344125.stm

They'll still give us a good hacking.

Coffee on keyboard. LOL

The implication was that he appears to have a bust up with coaching staff wherever he goes not that he gobs at anyone. Does go in with studs up occasionally but show me a team who hasn't a player or two guilty of that.

Puncheon = El Hadj Diouff

So how long will the stocks last this year? Hopefully the debacle of nothing more in stock until October (or whatever) wont happen again.

He's off then. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/935815/alex-oxlade-chamberlain:-i-want-to-join-?cc=5739 Close this thread down???

Peter Reid

Did we really see enough of him to judge? Probably still getting used to English game's pace. With a bit more space in the nPCC he could be useful.

I did manage to see him a couple of times and he did look quite assured for a young man. If he has matured over the past 2 years then he should be a good signing.

WTF, are you serious or was last night a late one?

Friday 1st July or any Friday thereafter.
