Should be aiming for at least 5 points there.

David Luiz ffs Would much rather us try for Batshuayi on loan if we have to lend a Chelsea player.

Communication is the issue I've heard and read about. His English is still awful. Probably best that we sell him tbh. Doesn't play a lot, will have a decent wage and will fetch a hefty fee to boost the fund for January.

Lanzini banned.

The Auto Windscreens Shield, which is now the EFL Trophy. Don't think many clubs garner high attendances in that competition tbf.

Swansea look rank. Hope they keep Clement for as long as possible. At least up to our game against them at SJP. (13th Jan)

1-1.

No, we need Swansea to get beat. They're winning though, Sod's law and all that.

There's a chance Noble and Arnautovic will be out as well apparently. We need a win here, hopefully the lads can provide it. 0-2.

They really won't. We need a little bit of surgery in January basically. A LB, a CM that can screen the back 4 and play a bit of football when required, a GK that isn't a complete retard, a ST and a creative midfielder who can play no. 10. The worry is the question of is Rafa actually going to get the funds he wants. He's reiterated in press conferences he doesn't know, that could be him staying quiet because it's daft to just reveal your budget publicly (which it is) or he actually just doesn't know.

Brexit and it's referendum was just a gamble of the country's future by Cameron to settle a pathetic argument in his mental party.

Just get the feeling that its a matter of when now, not if. All of the more concrete news (stuff from Caulkin et al, pictures of Ashley and Staveley leaving meetings, Staveley at the Liverpool game etc) has been positive and it's only been news outlets who normally don't report on us putting out the negative stuff. Apart from Luke Edwards of course, the arsehole. The silence hasn't helped either, nor has .com being negative about the whole thing since it all started.

Ever since Everton on Wednesday night, I've been quite worried tbh. That game opened my eyes to just how poor we are. West Ham away next weekend is a gargantuan game. If we don't get a good result in that I dread to think what will happen when Man City come to SJP on the 27th. The lack of assurance over the takeover isn't helping the atmosphere amongst the fanbase either.

Although I'd absolutely love it if we caused an Arsenal Fan TV meltdown, can't see anything but a loss. 3-1 to them.

Get back to 4-2-3-1 which is the formation we actually picked up points in. Since we've went to 4-4-2 we haven't won a game. Get us back to being a (fairly) solid and boring side nicking 1-0s until the January window, where hopefully Rafa is given enough funds to make a difference to this dreadful squad with. This upcoming transfer window is probably the most important in the club's history.

Imagine paying attention to anything Michael Martin says. The bloke is a bell end of the highest order.

Aye, atmosphere should be good. 125th year celebrations, amazing flags display, positive takeover news, 5:30pm kick off. We need to stop them from breaking on us, probably give them the onus to break us down like we did to Stoke earlier on in the season.

Hope there was no fireplace.

Over a curry?

Happy with that.

Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Hull City, Wigan Athletic and Stoke City say hi.

Aye we can. Got Watford away under McClaren. Yep. Live on TV as per. AFC Wimbledon at home I think would be a cracking tie. And yep. That's the usual tbh. Boring tie away at a shite club in the same league where we play lads from the u21s.

I'd like a home tie. Only 2 of our last 10 3rd round ties have been at home. Preferably against a shite Championship side who always throw the cup, QPR, Burton etc. A low ranked team would be good apart from bloody Hereford. If we had to have an away tie, then selfishly I'd like Hull away. Don't want the mackems.
