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.

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.

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.

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

awful game of football last night

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

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

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.

Target confirmed kit sponsor for MNUFC. Nice.

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]

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.

saints were bloody brilliant against leicester, though leicester were looking seriously poor

Timm Klose celebrated his goal by headbutting the corner flag today.

this would surely be more fun

That still makes me laugh.

I need the champions league back. All sorts of tasty matches lined up.

 

[Lunar]

Yeah really looking forward to the Champions League now, will be interesting to see how Leicester get on against a really good Sevilla side.

I'm a massive arsenal fan! Hoping we sign someone this transfer window...we need some reinforcements!

 

[Kostas]

I can't wait for our game vs Schalke in 16 February! I will be at the stadium for sure!

Anyone want to predict Liverpool vs Chelsea? I'm going for Liverpool win/draw, though if you consider picking 2 possible outcome cheating I'll go for a draw.

If Mane's back in time (he's just come from African Cup), then it could go either way. If he's not, Chelsea will take it. Mane's been so influential for them this season that I think it will be decided for them by his participation.

Any big name transfers happening? I see Greizmann popping up, as well as Sanchez/Ozil contract stuff (Arsenal seriously need to get these two tied down as well as the Wenger situation sorted if they want to challenge)

 

[Lipstick Vogue]

Looks like we're going Double Dutch again. Yanic Wildschut (7m apparently) and Mitchell Dijks (loan) replacing Olsson and presumably Brady. I guess we've just given up on defending and hope that goals take us to the playoffs.
