Looks like they let one of their 8 year old fans design the kit for winning a contest.

Fulham's kit today is shocking. Horrid.

FUCK! A groin injury is nothing to mess with. Get well ASAP, Petr!

Yeah, Taison is still a puzzling transfer rumor. I've still yet to even see him play and I watch a ton of football. Paulinho would be surplus to what we have but is quality. I'd gladly take him. I'm still foolishly holding out hope for 1 big name transfer.

"He's big! He's black! Two letters on his back! Demba Ba! Demba Ba!" Is that a real chant that their fans sing or is that just made up on the Internet?

When all signs point to a Chelsea thrashing, wouldn't surprise me to see a drab 0-0 draw. Though if a 1-man Liverpool team who were thrashed by Villa who we beat 8-0 can beat this lot, we should win comfortably.

2 years of Torres has made us hungry for anyone.Doesn't hurt that we may be getting one of this seasons leading goal scorers.

I was hoping I wasn't the only person to respond to that. Torres has a worse first touch than I do and I haven't touched a football in years.

If this goes ahead hopefully Rafa puts him to good use right away and doesn't wait until things go to shit before Demba becomes first choice. I honestly can't wait to see Ba in our shirt. People were saying there'd be no way we could afford Falcao and Fellaini, but if we get Ba for extremely cheap, who's to say we can't get Fellaini now?

Will indeed be a good signing if he joins. Should thrive here if he stays injury-free.

Very anxious about this one. I had a nightmare that Torres missed a sitter again to cost us the game. This is a statement game. Are we a serious contender or not? We'll have won at the Emirates, at WHL, and at Goodison with a game in hand if we can pull this one off. I'd say being in the top 3 with a game in hand and BEFORE the transfer window opens while having only 1 striker on the roster is pretty impressive. But we MUST win this one. Would be a huge morale boost for player and supporter alike.

Hopefully our boys realize the importance of this match and blitz Everton from the start. I'd be well and truly gutted if we lost after the results today.

Wow. Every team around us is gonna win today. Yet another must win for us tomorrow.

We can beat them then buy their best player next week.

Fuck sake. Bad teams always find ways to lose. Fuck off Sunderland.

This weekend would be absolutely amazing if we win and Norwich game-raise like fucking crazy and beat/draw Man City.

Exactly. Every time I think about the strikers those two have compared to us it just makes me so angry with our board.Luckily, I actually do think they'll wise up and bring in multiple players in January, though its looking less and less likely we'll get a superstar signing unfortunately.

Great birthday present, Chelsea! Mata you beauty!

Today is my birthday so I'm hoping Chelsea give me a nice gift!

"Got to get him just so Chelsea don't... This isn't no Eden Hazard shit... This guy will make those ***** in to an unbeatable prem team who'll steamroll everyone in this league." Quote from some idiot on the Man City forums. Confirming what many of us have thought about City muppets. Buy, buy, buy so no one else can.

I agree with Leif. We'll go for a budget player this window and hope for the best. If it were any other manager than Torres' bum buddy I think we'd go all out for Falcao, but with each goal he scores I think we move farther and farther away from getting him.

Falcao and Torres spearheading a 4-4-2?

This'll be a big facepalm if all we do in the striker department is sell Sturridge and recall Lukaku. Wouldn't put it past the idiots on our board who went into the season with just Torres basically.

Falcao?

Benitez for Mourinho str8 swap.
