Kitman

Would've thought that's very hard to prove.

Or "Abduls" as they called them on Auf Wiedersehn Pet

still waiting for him to come good then....

It does sound patronising. As well as a bloody good idea.

Pardew seems to rate Obertan for some reason.....

A ban of 2 games is OK. I don't know why the media made such a big deal of it though, it was only a little shove.

I think that's right. Unless we can somehow get him for a bargain fee and he's prepared to take a massive pay cut.........neither of which seem very likely to me.....

I'm sure they'd have considered this.....

Great 3 points that, with Chelsea away next in the league. Be interesting to see who Pardoo rests for the Europa game.

I think the fault lies with the media that blows smoke up the arses of morons because they're "celebrities". Unfortunately the attention seekers are also often the least interesting or biggest arseholes. Like Michael Owen for instance.

I'm hoping for a win. Spurs traditionally don't travel well to us.

Signing Saha has desperation written all over it. I can't believe he'll be anything like the force he was at the age of 34.

He rejected Sunderland? Presumably there's a 30 page thread on RTG about how he's shit anyway and isn't half the player Cattermole is......

Expect random cut and pastes from Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus on his twitter account. I'd like to think he'll grow up and sort his life out but he'll probably be arrested at 4am in Marseilles town centre after getting pissed up and assaulting the onion seller on his pushbike who called him merde. Or something.

To Every Broth You Take?

I heard he's can-ny

The list is as perpetual as this MB

Seems to forget it's a team game. Unless he patches it up with this his teammates, he might not get back in.

Parky's a glaring omission from that list

"Curse you Mike Ashley. CURSE YOUUUU!!!!"

Surprising amount of money for Fletcher. My impression of MON at Villa was he signed a lot of ordinary players for too much money. Hopefully he can keep that going.....

It's frustrating when a kid's attitude stinks and they throw their chance away. Wouldn't be surprised to see him leave on loan again.

"Wait a minute, this guy isn't a footballer! Get me Newcastle on the phone, NOW!"

who're we talking about again?

I take your point but my sense was he'd had plenty of games to show us what he could do.......and done very little. He may have pace to burn but he rarely seems to use it. Whether that's confidence or lack of balls doesn't matter if he can't get over his yips. If we sell him then that tells us that the staff share Alec Ferguson's opinion - Obertan hasn't got enough to make it at the top. Personally I think he's just a squad player at best.
