Would agree on Sissoko in the centre and Perez out wide. Still wouldn't play Tiote. Just noticed Arsenal have Walcott up front. Walcott always fucking canes us... although Mbemba has probably been told to be all over him. Makes him a better choice than Taylor today, actually.

Perhaps I'm just thinking too short term in my memory, but Tiote gave away a penalty last week and allowed Southampton back into the game when we were 2-1 up in our first game (following Anita's injury). Maybe he's just lacking sharpness, but I don't think Anita or Colback are, even if they are limited players... Tiote is a huge risk against Arsenal.

Sorry but, what has Tiote done this season that makes people think he's any good? I don't think he's turned in a decent performance since Cabaye left...

It fucking works! Either that or my liver is superhuman.

http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/alcohol/Pages/Hangovers.aspx I have googled this self-contradicting article from the NHS, which advises that there are no cures for hangovers, in the way that your parents once told you that eating sprouts was fundamental to your physical development, before begrudgingly pointing out that actually, having a pint of water before bed will help keep hangovers away. I'm gonna go full Parky and claim that this is all part of some diabolical (read: well-meaning) plan to stop people from drinking so much.

Look - I was drinking last night and had a headache coming on before I even went to sleep. Stayed up another hour, had a pint and a half of water. Am now fine. I don't want to second guess the Dutch (cowards, etc), but either Dutch people aren't ingesting water properly, or there are some other factors at play.

Ewerk's one is possibly the most depressingly awful thing I've ever seen. ANS's one is great

Dude, seriously?

True enough, he is. Still think he's a better option for the future than Colo though, given their relative ages.

Every now and then I get home happily drunk after a few drinks following work, turn on this forum and find that absolutely no one is posting. Don't pretend you're all out socialising because I know for a fact that isn't true (Gemmill). ...Fie on you all.

Not sure if I see Colo here beyond next year really... We need Mbemba to become a better version of Colo, and then to carry Taylor.

Taylor is undermined by his yearly injury and aptitude for being an arse. But actually, he's really not that bad. He's fucking brave if nothing else. I recall the season we came 5th, he and Colo were fucking amazing up until Taylor got injured. I think people on here can be a bit harsh about Taylor, especially when we still have Williamson in the ranks.

Evans to WBA...£6m

They both played well last week to be fair.

Granted this'll be a hard game but that opening post doesn't seem as bleak as usual. It sounds like we have options for one thing. I think we'll play valiantly. Might scrape a draw. Probably lose. A win would be a great lift though.

I think they'll be disappointed with themselves if they don't qualify from that tbh; yeah Juventus are strong right now but ultimately they're all beatable if City actually get their act together for once.

He has, fair play to him. Nice to see.

I preferred Radgmaat,

Good fucking point.

What do we make of WBA turning down £22m for Berahino btw? He did get 20 goals for a poor team last year, but I can't bring myself to think he's actually all that good for some reason...

Yeah, good move for both parties, that. Good luck to him, never been able to dislike the guy.

Is it? Huh. Where from, predominantly? There's many more Europeans around I grant you, but I think that's a positive thing. Keeps us from being stuck in the 'Little Englander' mentality. I'd wager there's a good few Greeks...

323,000 left last year as well. So really we're talking about an extra 7,000 people... Who is getting emotional about it?

That was actually quite a good read, the Everton run He did fucking well with them all things considered.
