Slam Dunk

Ahem. I believe a Mr. Patrick Bamford would disagree with you, sir.

Much improved second half compared to how badly we were outplayed in the first. I think a draw at a team on the rise, who play brilliant football, with a solid work ethic, and a great support is a good result, but hey, i'm an optimist.

Looks like we've changed to a 4-2-3-1.

Everyone in need of a laugh, put Sky Sports 2 on. Some guy has handcuffed himself to the goalpost during play. Amazing.

I swear, if I could neg rep, i'd have used them up ten times over. Some of the stuff posted in here has been shocking.

What a goal that was.

Their movement is fantastic. McEachran really will learn a lot.

This Dyer guy does like to go down eh?

Christ that was lucky.

Christ. You lot are surprised that we are going to have to play as the away team? Yes, they're going to have a lot of possession, that's their style.

Luiz praying with Nando...

Genuinely happy i'm wrong (and that I didn't put money on it)...

He's just failed to agree terms with Sp*rs. Looks like he's off to Zenit now anyway.

DEADLINE DAY Cisse to QPR - Done Jelavic to Everton - Done Ravel Morrison to West Ham - Done. David Pizarro to City - Loan - Nearly done. Zamora to QPR - £5M bid made Saha to Sp*rs - Loan - Nearly done. Bridge to Sunderland - Undergoing medical. Arsharvin to Anzhi - Prelim talks. Tevez to Milan - Adv talks.

Don't understand the people who want Jose back. Yes he's a fantastic manager, yes the senior players would love him back, yes he gets results. But we've finally got the possibility of some stability at the club with AVB, and if there is one thing that Jose Mourinho certainly is not, it's a long-term manager. IMO it'd do more harm than good.

Very excited about this signing. Can't wait to see how he develops. I've decided he's already the best FK taker at the club as well.

Not surprising to be honest. Was soon out of contract and never really settled at the club. Hope he finds his feet and does the business at Milan.

Left for Cyprus a few days ago. Edit: Joined AEL Limassol.

I'd put money on him not being in the match day squad. Just to be included in the first team travelling squad is good experience at the age of 18.

This. Expect to hear about how he "admires" and "likes the style of football" that Chelsea, Man City/Utd, Arsenal, Spurs & Liverpool play, on a regular basis until the summer.

Stop posting unnecessarily then...

Okay, our chances have increased somewhat. I'm not getting my hopes too high, however. I'd suggest you all do the same!

To be honest, it wouldn't shock me if he stayed at Madrid. If he does leave, I can see him taking time out until he gets an offer from an English club.

Grateful for everything he did for us, but I don't want him back at the club (in any capacity).

Didn't realise they used beach balls in the Brazilian league. Nice goal nonetheless.
