Hi fellas, well we didn't play that well yesterday, but we won and that's what all the top teams manage to do, Adrian was superb yesterday, when we went flappy at the back last ten minutes As stated many posts ago, we have been watching most of kouyates pals for some time, and I have mentioned Badg of Bergen, kara bodj of genk, and papy djilobodj of Nantes before, interest now being stepped up.

I am honest enough to say, I know nothing about doneil Henry, neither does any body else, we must remember Sam knew nothing about Sakhos arrival it was down to dgs, this time Henry is at SAMs request, so if he signs let's hope he's another gem!

The fp rules are obviously hindering our moves, as we all hoped only young quality players will be added, palace and Watford enquiries about cole, apparently we are trying to loan with option to buy on several new faces if possible, and meanwhile push out deadwood, this still leaves all options open for summer, when we will need to have a huge tilt at transfer market, as so many contracts come to an end, now we move onto the most difficult (on paper) fixture, let's hope we put on a good show and get the luck to go with it, see you at the bridge IRONMIKE

Thanks mike. Hope we don;t perform like that at Chelsea and then at home to Arsenal or it could be embarrassing.

I see we have apparently renewed our interest in Lamine Sane, who, by all reports is a very average Player.

Any news on Reid??

Feel as though big sam is slipping back into old ways a little, happy with us winning at the weekend but the football is no way as good if we play like that against the big boys they will make us pay! not a fan of Nolan ok for the bench I would much rather see amalfitano play very attack minded and plays a good ball and can score. anyway what a Christmas present it would be to beat them bags on boxing day.

I can't grumble with what we have achieved this season and to be 4th at Christmas is superb, but we do seem to be drifting back to old ways and playing the old long ball tactics. This has got to be because of Andy Carroll. Strange how Valencia and Sakho have done very little sice his return??

Let's not start getting down!

This is the first game it's really happened and sometimes when it's not going for you, you have to try a different tact, if we have the ability in this department then use it if you have to!
I agree that Amalfitano should be playing instead of Nolan.
