Genuinely can't see why they would be interested at the moment though. Nowhere near consistent enough, especially for a 'big' team - they need players who can come in and do the business straight away, not someone who only fancies it every now and again.

You could say that about the whole team.

Hello!

Totally agree. Though you know Pelle will start

I'm guessing it would go to the Saturday 5.30 slot? Fecking pain in the arse.

Really? Considering the paddy he threw before our Europa League exit, I think he's been lucky in the amount of support he's had. I think its pretty obvious that he has no intention of signing the contract extension, seeing as its been on the table for a long time and he still hasn't signed it. No amount of fan support is going to convince him to sign either, unless of course we personally contribute an extra £30k a week to his wages. We will obviously need to replace him and not on the cheap, but I won't shed any tears when he leaves. Clearly a player with ability, but only turns it on when he feels like it.

You could take a leaf out of a chap in our row's book - he has managed to smuggle in all sorts of culinary delights, ranging from figs, big mac meals, sushi, sweet and sour chicken noodles and KFC. One of the more recent offerings was a multi pack of burton's fish and chip crisps, of which at least 5 of the 6 were demolished.

He's probably confused as the rest of us as to what on earth they're banging on about.

Two footed lunge from Flamini... Gets a yellow card. Got to love consistency.

I thought Pelle would come out with mustard up his ar*e and a point to prove after the last couple of weeks, but he was pants. Maybe he's not fully fit still, but unfortunately for him we've seen what a dynamic front two looks like in the last few weeks and with Austin to come in, cannot see where he fits. Also enjoyed Long clapping the Austin substitution! Clattenburg ****e. Atmosphere superb after the red card. West Ham and in particular Mark Noble are nothing other than a bunch of C*ckwombles.

If true, fair play to Ed Rooney earlier on in the thread for calling it

Well this would be a welcome development...

Of course! How could I forget that fountain of knowledge!

Where has this £50k p/w / high wage that Shane Long is on come from? Apologies if I've missed something along the way

Andros Townsend to Newcastle for £12m allegedly

Are you Mike Riley??

Agreed with this, I'd like to see VVD right side more often but think he was only there to accommodate Bertrand on the left. Was nice to have a natural left and right footed "CB", distribution was a lot better

Chances of avoiding relegation have just increased 97.1%

I don't like this season, I'm going back to 14/15 for this one. Forster Clyne, Toby, Fonte, Bertrand Wanyama, Morgan Davis Tadic, Pelle, Mane 2-0 - Pelle x2 Toby M.O.M

Hope the team don't share your attitude.

Mental fragility. Players seem like they think it's inevitable. I'd also flip it around, does anyone ever think we'll get ourselves back into a game when we go behind? I don't see anyone grabbing a game by the scruff of the neck, no leadership. We're fantastic when comfortable, but when the going gets tough we melt.

Same team as Arsenal, with Cedric in for Martina if fit. Draw.
