Draw's just been made, Hull will face Sheffield United. A limited PL side, a League One side and a Championship side - just the kind of cup luck we've been missing for years. But of course we threw it away.

Nobody should ever look the other way at the awful mismanagement perpetrated by FFS while he was here. But for all his faults, he was a fan, he did care about the club doing well, he was never afraid to confront criticism, and he wasn't a freeloader trying to strip as much as he could from our club like one of his charv sportswear stores.

I'd be surprised if they sign a midfielder, full stop. I'd almost welcome Barry Ferguson at the rate we're going here.

Hardly dying of excitement here, he'll likely bust a knee in his first training session and end up on the long-term injury list with a short-term contract.

Piss off you dozy bitch, you don't even know who you're addressing the article to. "That man needed very careful handling" what a load of bollocks! What he really needed was no handling at all. There's a load of insulting crap in there that I could spent time dismantling but why bother. If that's the kind of "support" we'll be getting in print then God help us.

I'd give them Shay for Michael Johnson and Micah Richards/Onuoha. I wouldn't like it but I'd do it.

Go to hell Ashley. Bullard going for just 5 million to Hull City is criminal. There's really no way back for that fat wanker.

On a City-related note, we'll now have the pleasure of watching Craig Bellamy outpace Colloccini once more next game. They should buy Roberts too so he can play against us again. Pile it on

Do you even have any idea what's happening at the club? We won't bid even 5 million on Bullard, Kinnear is lying through his teeth about this 10 million bid for M'bia, but you want to spend more money on a superior player? Where will this money magically appear from? And are you providing the choloroform, body bag, and private plane it would take to get Moutinho to SJP, or is Fat Mike charging the club for that too? It is called satire. Mong. "Satire"? Even if you weren't serious - you were - it'd be irony. Semi-evolved tbh.

Less goddamn Spurs links at our club please.

The fact that he hasn't immediately accepted it (the contract offer) speaks volumes I think. Interesting that bit about the request for interviews with Llambias or Wise being deferred until after the window shuts. Is this just more stalling tactics or do they really plan to make a statement after the window closes?

Draw is the best result for us, worst for both of them though. Bale's off now, does that mean the "Bale curse" is still on this game or does it vanish once he leaves the pitch?

Incidentally, anyone seen how awful Boro have been lately? That Alves in particular seems to have been a catastrophic waste of money.

The worst performance of the season I think. N'Zogbia should've been off when it was still 0-0 for Jonas. He shouldn't have started in the first place, especially not over Jonas, but he was terrible today and shouldn't have made it to half time. Barton is a liability in many ways. Butt is a complete joke. Edgar is shockingly awful and even Taylor would've done better at RB. And to cap it off, we had to look at the fat, smirking face of Mr Toad of Toad Lane himself. Where has our club gone?

Are you sure ? N'Zogbia off Duff Shit I'll correct that: We do need another winger like we need cover in all positions, but we don't need one enough to spend money on one in this window.

Great, we know we're facing Big Sam's team of hoofball clods so we leave our trickiest player on the bench. Instead we play a slow shit left winger in his place while giving our wantaway stroppy snot a game. Nevertheless, if there's an away game we can win it's surely this one so we must play for the 3 points.

Hey Joe. We don't need another goddamn winger. Your friend, ATP

You lot will win and then we'll have to see the fat toad burbling on SSN about how much bigger he is than Newcastle. The city of, that is.

What's with the smoke and mirrors? Open up the doors and let the fans in, why should they be kept in the dark as to the identities of our new loan signings, Alissimo Diatti and Alito Dianez?

Fans FC is probably even less reliable than the lies that bubble forth from Kinnear's spoon-fed lips. I really don't think Kaka is going to City, by the way.

Don't really care tbh, kind of happy we lost before it had to go to extra time, further impacting fitness before the weekend game. EDIT: Not happy, just, you know, not bothered.

Butt's header hits the bar according to Gamecast. We should win this easily, not sure if I'm really enthusiastic about another fixture considering our injury list though.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that Mourinho isn't a brilliant coach or enjoying great success at Inter. But his football should speak for itself.

Anelka and Bosingwa have both been the business this season, don't you think? I agree Chelsea won't win the title but maybe Mourinho should do his talking on the pitch for once.
