Milan who are 15 points behind the league leaders before Christmas? Hazard was publicly criticized by Mourinho when Chelsea were knocked out the champions league last season for not tracking back iirc. Seems to have done the trick but would he take a chance on someone with Hatems reputation?...I have my doubts...

You were fond of quoting Mourinho when people questioned Santon's ability, do you reckon he'd have Hatem in his side?...suffice to say football at the top level has changed a bit in the last 20 years since Ginola was in his pomp.

Alnwick is fit so will play Sunday after Pardew demolishes him in in the post match interview after Spurs. Instead of being positive he said it was a shame for the players who had "put a shift in" that Alnwick made mistakes.

Depends on what you think the purpose of the protest was. I've no doubt you're right, but if the people remain in their homes at an affordable rent I'd imagine they won't be thinking to much about what profit the management company make.

Contractor's fees cut by 10%, employees wages frozen according to the BBC this morning, tax revenues plummeting... Wonder what the Scottish Nationalists make of it all?....

Russell wins! http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/dec/18/us-investors-set-sell-new-era-estate-london-protests-westbrook

Surprisingly medically accurate tbf... There's very few games that don't go on sale to members nowadays and seeing as we're at Leicester in the cup in a fortnight it may fairly easy to get one for the league game

Yeah like the Tories are big on financial regulation

Its Spurs apparently, figure of 1 billion being touted Qatar v Ashley....frying pan and fire tbh...

4 million a year for 5 years. Does Russell Brand know?...

While he's on about conveniently forgetting things he's forgotten to mention that the 124billion that's needed to be found to bail the UK banks out is being currently paid back via the likes of the bedroom tax. Doubt if that's only temporary.

Been found out this season....I think if you can get the ball in behind for Ballotelli to run on to he'll finish most times...he's about as good as Pardew at setting teams up though.

I got the short straw so am driving...was really looking forward to this but last weekend has made me lose a fair bit of confidence... I think getting Sissoko and Abeid on the pitch together is key, no chance without them iyam..physio room saying Abeid is due back on the 21st so he might stand a chance for tomorrow but this is Pardew we're talking about, not really noted for boldness in selection..

hmm.... http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/dec/15/spanish-football-fragmented-flat-la-liga-blog

Yeah. Fuckin Bamber Gascoigne's legacy remains unthreatened to say the least.

McCoist hands his notice in, has to work his 12 months as per his contract, but him and his staff are all getting a payrise during the notice period

Hmmm....police storm hostage taker armed allegedly with explosives?...

Anyone with a titter of wit knows that Ben Arfa is this morning clocking on at the Milanello training centre near Varese
