2 points lost because of stupid mistakes. I'm the biggest Tottenham fan now.

Lipstick Vogue January 3rd, 2017 5:31 AM

We've actually had a decent few days. 4 points a perfect hattrick for Oliveira against Derby.

Don't think Gestede is better than Rhodes but I suppose he's a nice lump to hit. A signing that fits your system more or just to give you more variety up top?

Apparently Palace have bid 7 million for Brady. 10-12m will do that I think.

Don Manuel Pellegrini deserves to win something- what he manages to do with newbie teams in the CL is amazing.

Lipstick Vogue January 5th, 2017 3:39 AM

Did anyone see this?

Not the bit about the Pomey fans being belleneds but the ref.

>McGeehan was also shown a yellow card by the referee while on the stretcher after pounding the floor in pain or frustration

Incredible.

Also RIP Kirestananderson01. We never got to know you.

pompey fans stoop lower and lower :)

West Ham destroyed.

Felt like Arsenal were lucky. Preston could have had that game in the bag in the first half.

Good for them that they got the win but why they didn't start the game like they did at the second half/leaving it late I don't know.

Attended the Sunderland v Burnley FA Cup game with friends, and can safely say it was one of the worst games of football i've ever had the displeasure of viewing. It was horrendous.

Joey Barton getting booed for doing pretty much anything was probably the highlight.

I was not at that game, but i'd be willing to bet it was haha.

It was like that scene in Mike Bassett: England Manager where England draw 0-0 with Slovenia, and it's made up entirely of slow-mo montages of nothing happening and people yawning/looking bored. Imagine that, but for 90 minutes.

those mexicans were bloody brilliant, 3 cheers for ramirez!

Frozocrone January 10th, 2017 6:35 AM

Manchester United vs Liverpool should be interesting.

No Bailley or Mane might put a damper on that though.

Lipstick Vogue January 12th, 2017 9:33 AM

So we're about to lose our only natural left back to Swansea. Neat.

Also Chelsea's new stadium is literally made out of plastic. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-38572335

Eruption January 12th, 2017 11:09 AM

Bit late replying to some of these things, but hopefully no-one cares too much about that.

There's a rumour that we signed Gestede because he topped some trivial statistic 'most aerial duels won' in the Premier League last season. So yeah he's just a lump to fit the system, but we can't cross so I don't know what we're expecting really.

Our rumours have got a bit more exciting since then, Bojan, Jese, Snodgrass, Bamford. Hopefully we can sign Snodgrass, it would almost definitely relegate Hull and he seems like a more reliable pickup than the other three.

I haven't seen Mike Bassett in a long time, I might have to give it a watch later.

Are we talking about Brady or someone else?

Controversial opinion - the stadium looks nice.

Lipstick Vogue January 12th, 2017 11:36 AM

Olsson. Swansea manager confirmed talks. He recently added a year onto his contract which would have ran out this coming summer, so yeah, he's off.

Brady plays is better football further forward. Bunch of clubs interested in him too, wouldn't be surprised to see him go either.

Logan January 13th, 2017 2:28 AM

For what it's worth: every time I've watched Snodgrass he really has seemed like a top top player and I don't know how he hasn't been picked up by a decent side.

Eruption January 13th, 2017 4:01 AM

At least Olsson has let you receive some money for him then. Hopefully you reinvest wisely to keep the playoff hunt going.

Well West Ham are after Snoddy as well, if they're classed as a decent side. If we really do want him, hopefully we get it all done before West Ham get some Payet money.

EC January 13th, 2017 6:45 PM

Put the Minnesota United schedule into my Google Calendar yesterday. Can't wait for the season. Being with a team from the beginning is a rare treat.

Lipstick Vogue January 17th, 2017 1:18 PM

On the bright side Ipswich are getting battered tonight. Think they've found their level.

Logan January 19th, 2017 3:58 AM

awful game of football last night

Lipstick Vogue January 19th, 2017 4:14 AM

We lost in extra time and then Neil confirmed that we are indeed in negotiations with clubs over Robbie Brady leaving. Great.

Xherdan January 19th, 2017 5:18 AM

We get to face this crooked team again. Let's see if we get to knock them off the FA Cup.

Also, Gremio does not know how to sign players. All we have until now is a 38 year old fullback, some centerforward nobody's ever heard of, and this striker from a 3rd division club. Meanwhile smaller teams are hiring much better players. I hate this.

EC January 19th, 2017 1:19 PM

Target confirmed kit sponsor for MNUFC. Nice.

Eruption January 21st, 2017 2:27 PM

Karanka turns on the fans, perhaps the beginning of the end for him here.

Ipswich were very poor in that game, Exeter looked like the better side for long periods. It can't be too exciting being an Ipswich fan, stuck in the Championship for all this time with no cup runs.

Xherdan January 22nd, 2017 11:33 AM

Congrats on Mustafi for getting his first goal.

Surely, the craziest way to win a game is via a panenka in the 98th minute.

Also, Gremio hires Beto da Silva, a 20 year old boy who used to play for PSV. All i've been hearing about this guy is good stuff, so he better play good.
