No not now. We probably missed the boat a couple of years ago. We surely must be looking for another centrback in January but I can see us signing the wrong type again!

For a fairly small guy without any great physical strength he holds ball up extremely well. It just seems to stick to him and he's able to turn into space. Definitely one of our most important players. He'll probably be sold come January!

I'd have been happy signing someone like Robert Huth tbh. Shawcross would be perfect imo. Not that there's any chance we'd even try to sign him.

This was key. Sissoko actually woke up to his responsibilities and what he needs to do if he wants to get that move to a champions league playing club. He was still at fault for both their goals when he didn't bother tracking his man and left Janmaat horibly exposed. But he was excellent going forward and in the second half he also put the effort in to work back. This really should be the perfect performance to go into next week. We showed that we have really improved as an attacking force but we also saw that we need to put the effort into making sure the whole team works defensively. Hopefull they will be spending time on that this week.

Just wish he had a commanding partner to play alongside rather than a well past his best Colo!

The thought of him getting his record has been the only thing keeping me going tbh but aye I'd love to see him try and smash a few. Stokes's knock has been a bit more interesting. Hopefully Butler will just hit a few.

Gaz Coombes and Rosin Murphy are the only ones I've heard. Like them both but don't love either of them.

Aye that's complete bollocks. Unless you look at as Elliot might cost us that many points in his absence. Either way for any keeper to be worth that many points would be amazing. What are rest of the fucking team doing if he's winning that many! I was enjoying what McClaren was saying in the begining but I'm begining to get concerned about some of the shite he's spouting now.

It's a complete waste of time as far as I can see. It would be better off played in Australia or somewhere. There's probably more Pakistani supporters there than in UAE and if not I'm sure the Aussie's would cheer them on against us. But wherever it is on a pitch like that it's going to be nigh on impossible to bowl any team out twice.

Aye I've got it on at graft. Nothing happening at all. Looked bad for Rashid the last couple of days but I don't think he bowled badly at all. There's just nothing in the pitch. If they're all like this I can't see there being a result in any of the tests. Bumble was saying earlier that they're able to prepare different types of pitches over there so I can't understand why anyone would want one like this.

Watched this last night too. Certainly wasn't what I was expecting but thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice performances from Edgerton and Bateman.

I think we'll scrape a 1-0 win much like last season against Leciester. Personally I think we've played much better football than last season but the fact is we've not got the results and this has been happening for more than a year now so you have to be concerned. If we can put a run of form together and build the confidence then I think we'll be fine. But the longer we go without winning the less likely that is.

Can't see the point of playing test matches in front of 50 people in the UAE (especially on dead pitches like this). Still nice to see Cook getting another Century.

Colo has managed about five decent games since the begining of last season and has played in most of them. I've got no more time for him at this stage. He doesn't lead, he gets pushed around by big lumps and outpaced by quicker players, and he constantly gets caught out following his man deep and the opposition just play in behind him. In no way am I suggesting that the answer to the problem is Steven Taylor, we need another centreback as everyone knew in the summer, but short term (again I stress if he was fit) I'd be putting Taylor in.

Comedy account is in full flow here Fish!

Whehey!

I've watched the first couple if Episodes of Blindspot and it seems pretty decent. The new season of Fargo started at the weekend too.

You can go to an Italians and pay five or six quid for a pizza or get a worse one delivered from Domino's for twice the price so paying restaurant prices wouldn't be a massive concern with this for me. You can also pick up a couple of bottles of wine on your way home for a tenner or pay thirty for them in a restaurant. That's another positive of this. Plus if your a loser with no one to go to a restaurant with you can get restaurant quality food at home without looking like a right sad fuck! Sushi is quality by the way.

If he were fit (which is of course the main problem) I'd play him ahead of Colo at the minute.

Hope he wins if it's true. I'd love to see the fat cunt be shown up for what he is.

Fuck me I'm tired this morning. Took me about five minutes to get that

Unless they start delivering to sunny Wallsend, I cant see me using them. Shame though, it looks like a good idea.

I've not seen it yet like. Don't massively fancy it but I'll give it a watch. American Gangster is the best thing i've seen of his for ages and even that's not a patch on his best stuff.

If it worked last time maybe he should try it again because his form has been shite again this season!

He's saving his first goal for us for the derby!
