Monroe Transfer

A goal now and we'd be right back in it.

I thought this was going to be easy?

You're joking. I've not even started watching the match yet.

I'm guessing pace is the reason Routledge starts ahead of an unlucky Ranger/442 (not that Ranger doesn't have a bit of speed about him).

I'm talking about current form and current form alone. They've got a few players who on their day could embarrass us. If on the other hand, they play like they did against Everton, we could well win given we've got home advantage.

Up front, wearing the number 32 shirt. Probably in better form than Drogba too I might add. Could argue that Toure > Essien at the moment as well.

I'm hoping de Jong has an awful match, scores an own goal to win us the game and then gets sent off for an innocuous challenge. At this point the cameraman notices Hatem Ben Arfa in the stands with his middle finger up.

Somehow I don't think he'd fit.

Leazes is correct. Proof:

I see Hugo Almeida is joining Besiktas for less than £2m. Not sure how well he'd do in this league though with that said, had we ever been in for him.

More at half 2. What an amazingly dignified, calm, respectful man. Compare him to the bitter Allardyce after Blackburn got rid of him.

Hey, I nominated you originally... don't make me feel like I'm supporting a desperate man.

Well he wasn't wrong to be fair. He does look like a player, just not a very good one.

Not being funny but there will only be one winner.

Does Nile Ranger make a cameo appearance at any point?

Maybe he meant Shearer in his Blackburn days?

Playing - Xavi Retired - Zola and Zidane

Hard to take that such a nice man could be treated so badly.

Parky, because I imagine he's desperate for a nomination.

Fair play if that's all correct. Saylor staying (I know some would have wanted the money, but I still rate him personally, on his day at least), Ben Arfa staying, and Gosling almost ready to return makes for a happy day for once. If that bit about Pardew's hands-on approach, then well done to the guy. I'm not going to start praising Pardew too much for stuff because it still is just the one match that he's had with us, but he's done near enough nothing wrong so far.

Oh please be true great sources of France.

Not worth the paper and/or the bandwidth tbh.
