Dembele has been given a 6 game ban - handy for us

Please God be ITK on this Monk! That would be beyond awesome...

3 - Tadic is only the 4th player to register 3+ assists in a single PL game on more than 1 occasion (Berkovic, Henry, Fabregas). Feeder. Not a bad club to be in

Absolutely unplayable on his day...

I would be really surprised if we win this. It'll follow our normal pattern: Dominate>Lead>Concede>Implode

1995 - Man City haven't won a PL away game they've been losing at half-time since April 1995 (D11 L79 since then). Task. To paraphrase Kalamity Ken Livingstone: "Look to history to avoid repeating your mistakes"

Shane Long is worth at least 2 $hlongs now

Nice one Swansea, hope it stays like this - 7th place beckons!

"Time to get back on the horse" - come on people it was right there!

What about Domenico Berardi as a Pelle replacement? If we could get him for say £20m/£70k that'd be doable, or is that too ambitious?

In order of preference for me: De Boer, Benitez, Howe

In an ideal world Oxlade-Chamberlain and Krychowiak for me...

Whilst I agree with what you're saying, I don't see the problem with big club cast offs - after all they're less likely to agitate to go back to a big club. Also worth remembering that Bertrand and Romeu both came from Chelsea, who aren't exactly a small club....

Thank god we were only playing Villa! Anyone half decent would have done us quite comfortably. Nonetheless, Tadic outstanding and my MOTM - unplayable on his day....

He's great when he's trying, which is less often than we'd like. Can't pass for toffee and missed a lot through suspension. Not that fussed if he goes, we can afford a good replacement with the TV deal who will hopefully actually want to be here...

We REALLY have to win this - Everton woeful...

No Lukaku, No Barkley - that's good

Well this thread took a turn....

Left with his hand down his pants as Aubameyang waltzed past for Dortmund's second

Looks like Lovren will be missing out on Euro 2016 because he's a massive tit... https://sports.vice.com/en_us/highlight/dejan-lovren-set-to-miss-croatias-euro-2016-campaign-with-devastating-ego-injury/?utm_source=vicesportstwitter

Should it happen I'd think it unlikely that the government would force clubs to sell players. Very likely the pound will drop against the euro as we get closer to the vote and potentially in the aftermath so less purchasing power for us would be the outcome...

It would be a good example for the young players coming through - grass isn't always greener etc.

Insider buzz: #Saints are showing Ronald Koeman their intent to keep him away from superclubs' grasps | @DeanJonesBR Per Bleacher Report, we have outlined a new 5 year plan to become a major club to Koeman in an effort to get him to extend his contract, with a decision apparently expected before the end of the season - would be great if we could keep hold of him!

Just amazing - the one downside is that my vocal cords are shredded from celebrating and I've got a job interview tomorrow

That was the best 3 minutes of my life (sorry Becca)
