Monroe Transfer

What a subsitution and return to Lyon for Benzema.

Possibly. As much as I like Holloway and his club, Blackpool's poor recent form could only be good for us.

Could do with the sides below us not picking up points...

Recent highlights from TheBig_Sam.

I love this sport. One day they're beating Barca, the next they're drawing against Leyton Orient.

That's nice dear.

Despite the fact we've scored more goals than 15 others sides in the division? We've scored at least 4 in 4 league games (Villa, Sunderland, West Ham and Arsenal) which is admittedly very impressive. If you were to take those games away however... My point is that we're not scoring goals on a consistent basis.

Wouldn't go that far just yet but it certainly helps. The more draws for that lot the better.

Due to CT's strange inability to name/link the source of these articles, it's hard to know whether to pay any attention to such talk.

Replacement for Ricky. Fuck's sake, thought he was a right back for some reason. The article even states that he's a LB. I must still be intoxicated.

In my defence I was working at the time and left it on after the matches. Celtic looking class, 2-0 up after 30 minutes. Second goal came after a fantastic counter, Hooper got a second. Signing of the season possibly.

Not sure about Taiwo mind, if there's any truth in that. I'm perfectly happy with Simpson.

Good to hear that they're scouting far and wide. Hopefully we'll get in 2 or 3 known payers regardless anyway though.

In terms of current form? I'd be inclined to say Jose actually, but then I've not watched a lot of top 4 football recently.

Thinking about it though... I reckon a couple of better strikers (i.e. keeping a fit Carroll and getting someone else in, which was what I wanted during the transfer windows) and we'd be comfortably mid-table. And I wouldn't have ruled out trying for a European place had we the squad members to do so. We've got a good midfield (that has been missing 3 creative outlets for the most part in Gosling, Ben Arfa and Ireland) and for a newly promoted side we've performed well far more often than I assumed we would. Only in a few matches (Man Utd away, Wigan home, Man City home, Bolton away, Spurs away, West Brom away etc) have we played badly. That's not bad going in all honesty.

This. I do think we'll be alright, but I don't think we'll win as many as people seem to think. I can see us drawing more games than we lose, though. A few 1-0 and 0-0s scattered around is what I expect to see. Ameobi will hopefully be back sooner rather than later and despite his critics he'll help us get a few more goals. Hopefully Ben Arfa will net a couple too.

Sign him up Ashley.

"Anelka should be suspended by his manager for 3 games for missing that penalty"

Fair play.

Radio 5 phone-in with Robbie Savage. It's painful listening to him. I think he's serious - this isn't just some publicity stunt to get more callers in.

Mike Parry supports seeding. What a moron. "Should be one of the big 4 in the final every year" "Winners of the FA Cup should get a spot in the Champions League"

Fantastic stuff.

Yawn.

Well it looks like it has. I think he kept Ancelotti's eyebrow in check.

Wilkins left.
