Monroe Transfer

Couldn't get a hold of him to replace Shola on the bench. Tbh it looked like no-one would be able to get a hold of anyone at the stadium yesterday, hence the shambles that went on trying to sort out Pardew out with some form of communication equipment (headset etc). Had to relay information back and forth in person via Donachie ffs.

In all seriousness, it's definitely perfectly acceptable for a man to cry after watching this. I couldn't watch the whole thing. Very moving video.

Stop being such a Sensitive Sally, CT.

I'm not sure it's physically possibly for the former to man up.

Death of a pet dog, that's about it. Death of a family member? Be brave for your remaining loved ones. But yeah a pet dog is another matter entirely. If you're crying about a cat, man up.

Don't forget that if you've got a Sky Sports subscription, you can still get ESPN free for 3 months with no obligation to continue past then. I activated it myself just in time for the match yesterday. Got Chelsea next Saturday on there too plus if we make it to the Europa League group stage we'll be on there for those too (for the ones ITV aren't showing at least). Fancy watching some Ligue 1 and Serie A on there myself too.

I want him replaced in the starting 11, but definitely not sold. We need the cover there regardless, even if he stays.

Taking this a little too seriously iyam Ant.

I like Cisse's Twitter description thing https://twitter.com/CissePapiss

Just read an interview with Ben Arfa on co.uk and apparently a European ban from his Marseille days has carried over.

Only watched it on TV but the crowd sounded ridiculously loud and intense. Very impressed by the noise our lot made in the stands.

Sunderland in for Adam Johnson? http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11679/8003494/Black-Cats-in-Johnson-talks £10m according to the above

Yeah, half asleep when I wrote that (poor form for 20 to 10 don't get me wrong).

Yeah Demba seemed really tired and miserable in his post-match interview but he grinned and his eyes lit up when the interviewer mentioned Ramadan and Demba started talking abut being able to eat what he wants.

Stop laughing at yourself CT

Thankfully the Mirror know fuck all.

Well it's hardly going to be a Photoshop is it?

Good ^, we still need more at FB though regardless, even if we went with Simpson as a starter we're in trouble if he gets injured. Guess Chronic wasn't wrong about Pieters either there. Doubt he was on a holiday if he's missed a PSV game.

Bit harsh.

Bring back King Kenneh

I think Colo is more of a risk precaution than a serious injury. He did travel with Argentina after all.

Thinking about it - maybe Colo/Marveaux/Amalfitano and a couple of the dev squad lads are simply being saved for Thursday.
