We couldnt have signed Austin because he declared his desire to stay down south last time we "tried" to sign him due to family being settled. Mitrovic is key to how we play and key to why Wijn has so many goals, he has missed chances but we play with 1 up front. So is he meant to develop sitting on the bench? Nonsense, he will get better by playing regularly. Also think Elliot was at fault for their goal yesterday, shot stopping is the headline/easy part of goalkeeping. A good keeper is getting to that ball before the forward.

Balotelli is really talented and if you could promise his A game every week I would do it. But thats as likely as Crosby being found innocent so that along with his wages etc make it moot. If I think I know where this team is going I expect us to make a move for Amavi from Villa in the summer when they are down and he he is fit. Also expect another central midfielder.

Finished American Horror Story Hotel and started on Ash vs Evil Dead, proper cheesy but really true to the films.

How did he defend the back post against Kane/Giroud/Lukaku/Anyone? Ah..

Done well, deserves praise. Shot stopping is the easiest part of goalkeeping but he is decent at at it. Krul is still a better keeper mind.

Bit of a rant here, apologies in advance. I got a bulldog puppy four month ago and I am at my wits end, not with her she is an absolute star, but her illnesses and mainly vets. She cought kennel cough a while ago which is common and nothing to worry about in most dogs. Because of the way her face is, it developed into aspiration pneumonia, she spent a couple days in an oxygen tent at the vets and was let home with some anti-biotics. She has been coughing and on these pills for three fifth of her life, today we were back at the vets again and apparently we can do a bronchial flush/sweep which means we can get some fluid off her lungs and see exactly what it is she has and target it instead of broad spectrum drugs. I am annoyed for numerous reasons. When I signed up to this particular vet it was recommended by the kennel club as a bulldog specialist, I have rcently found out that the vet there who was a bulldog specialist left ages ago and now they are mainly locum vets but nobody thought to tell the KC. Also if this sweep/flush was an option why have we put a really young puppy through 3 month of medication that's done nowt and coughing/hacking, instead of doing that first? Just feel like instead of enjoying having a puppy that I have wanted since I was a teenager I am constantly worrying about her, she has been mainly a house dog for 5 months now because of her problems so now when I do try and take her out she is shit scared of everything and is behind in her socialisation.

Didnt we get rid of one that was infinitely better because the fans didnt like him? Calling Townsend tricky is like calling me a sex god, we both have one trick and thats it.

He's been to another bong party.

Dog eggs

Thought we played well there, defending a bi mental at times. Colback was shite again, Wijnaldum was class.

Kind of game we get a result in. 0-0

Exactly. Perez was peanuts, one of our best players. Also our finite pool of money should easily be able to cover 12 million and a lot more. Other. Clubs pay more for squad players

What difference does that make?

What I mean is, so fuck if 12 million is over the odds. Who decides what a player is worth? The club selling. If we want him then we pay the asking fee or we dont. We have haggled over half a million in previous years. The club is definately rich enough to buy a 12 million pound player so why not? If he turns out shite and we sell him for 5 next year, what have we lost?

Dont know why fans are ever arsed about how much a player costs, its not coming out of our banks.

We are planning a trip to Cuba for late summer I think. Will get a weekend up in Edinburgh again at some point and another weekend away, looking at eastern europe atm cos ive only ever been to Bulgaria and it was grim as fuck.

I'm just not sure what constitutes proven really. Like the finish article, at the top of his game, playing regularly for a good team? No chance of us signing them I'm afraid.

Like I said there is a risk associated with every transfer, Lamela looked a world beater at Roma 30 million to Tottenham and he was dog eggs for 18 month. Unproven players are just as likely to hit the ground running as proven ones IMO. I agree that we tend to do things on the cheap, which is why it's mad to pay mental money for bang average "proven" players like Shelvey or Townsend. Expecting the current regime to change their MO now and sign us the exact right players for big money is absolute nonsense however, if they wanted to do that we wouldn't be in this position.

It's patently nonsense as well, with the amount of homegrown players not getting a game, how do all these other teams buy all these "proven" players? They don't of course, every team takes a risk with every signing. Look at Leicester again, nobody would have been buzzing if we bough Vardy or Mahrez last summer, now people would snap your hand off for either. They were proven, and exactly the same players then as now.

Leicester bought Kante from France for about 5 mill, exactly what we need and miles better than Shelvey (also keeping Inler out of the team) But he wasn't proven so let's buy Voldemort instead.. There is only about 4 clubs who buy proven players in the league, mainly because they cost a bomb but ignoring the money, it's mainly because British players are over rated by fucking miles.

I was thinking more of the length of time, if he puffs at that rate he must knack loads of tabs in a day.

I have porridge at work, so I can leave the house quicker

Nobody else wondering why he can't watch a film without not one, but two fag breaks?

Didn't start till I was 21 (Marlboro reds or lucky strike cos they were cheaper), packed in this time last year so 30. Getting cancer helps focus the will to stop I found. Especially when you see the poor cunts in having chemo who go regular and look like zombies.

I think I have got to the bottom of this, CT what does the word bloated mean?
