Just had a look on Wham's forum (schadenfreude and all that) Fantastic comment re: subbing of Andy Carroll. Masterstroke by Allardyce WHU_Del wrote:So let me get this straight. We buy two wingers to cross balls for our record signing centre-forward. Tonight, we play our centre-froward, but not the wingers. Then we take the centre-forward off, and put a winger on...

I shouldn't laugh, it's like watching someone kick puppies (or throw them into rivers as the youth of today are doing) but...

Ah ok - I wasn't aware we'd confirmed it though? I thought JFK had decided that we weren't going to work out the cost, or when it would happen, until some point way into the future.

I vote we call that one a team effort.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/163850bn-official-cost-of-the-bank-bailout-1833830.html I see your £26k, and raise you £850bn.

Well by all accounts we aren't getting Cabella this window - JFK has it signed for June. I'd take Salah but that sure as fuck isn't going to happen with Liverpool sniffing around. Can't see us doing anything really - not that I'm overly bothered by it; as has been said, it's expected.

That last one though... A future Cattermole that Sunderland kid, what a gift.

I think it'll be between £12-15m. Wages who knows but he's a young lad so could get away with £30-40k. Possibly.

If you get Windows 7 Pro you can get an XP shell to run your older applications. Looks just like XP. In terms of saving the one you've got, have you already attempted a system restore back to the point before he installed everything? This can be done without evening opening Windows - if you're being BSODed then you'll likely be taken to the 'How do you want to start up your computer screen'. Choose repair from there and restore should be an option. Go back as far as you can, it's not like you'll lose any files, just some applications. Ultimately though, if it was me, I'd fix the issue at hand. Or upgrade and get the XP Shell.

Also, was just thinking regarding the transfer policy in general. I can't remember the last time we had such quality on the bench. Ben Arfa, Haidara, Taylor/MYM, etc. We're not there yet but the strength in depth is coming. The overall quality of the squad certainly feels better than it has been for some time. Remember when we had absolutely no one to throw on at the end of a game except kids?

Part of me thinks that we buy when it seems to be good value, not when we need something... which makes me worry about Cabella a little. But then again, we've utilised everyone bought in the last window very successfully.

That seems really incoherent. I'm sure I read that they were going to give him until Saturday. Wonder what changed?

My condolences mate. The last thing you need when something like this happens is for complications like the ones it sounds you have.

I'd go Edinburgh if it was me. Easy to get to all the main restaurants from the station. Also some very nice hotels.

...Wha?

I think Pulis has improved Palace to be honest. Not aesthetically, but I'm not so sure they'll go down now...

I really shouldn't gamble, these £3s will add up.

I meant that they're in the mix for it this year. Sorry, my frustration stole the intended meaning behind my post. I have £3 on them for 2-1 you see...

Deserved, that equaliser. I can't get over how rubbish Everton have been though, they're in for CL ffs.

Everton's passing is woeful..

In fairness he'd make more going to Monaco though. Not that they seem to be in for him.

PSG could feasibly pay him so much that the remaining 25% is actually pretty handsome. From our point of view it's better than if he went to one of our midtable rivals like Man Utd.

Only our club could sign someone as vaguely as that...

I don't really know enough of this debate to say if this is right, but it's well reasoned and makes sense to me.
