You think a 6’2", 24 year old striker with eight league goals in eleven games and a long contract remaining ‘won’t be much more’ than €2.2m?

I think some people are overestimating the amount of money we are willing and/or able to spend in January. Part of the reason we went for Mubama is that he’s low cost and therefore low risk, any replacement is very likely to be the same, rather than a £10m+ signing.

Looking at the airlines targeted so far, Iran wouldn’t really make much sense. Europe has quite wisely kept their nose out of that mess, I struggle to see what beef Iran would have with Ireland, for example. Perhaps there’s some sort of branding copyright issue between the IRCG and the IRA.

Hell for him I assume is just a biblical plague of gay frogs.

He’s sh*t.

I won't post any names but having checked the votes, there's 21 I'm not the least bit surprised by, one I'm mildly surprised by because he generally seems reasonable and five who made me think, "who the f**k's that?" Edit: An amendment to that: At least one of the five is actually one of the 21's alternative log in, so it's actually only 26 people (at most).

As good a night as this obviously was for the Dems, you can’t help but sit and wonder at the number of Yanks who still went out to vote for the apricot Pol Pot.

If DM doesn't get his arse in gear in the next couple of months, I'd certainly be on the look out for someone to replace him, if there's a player available who offers a bit more. That said we're the best team in the league results wise so far this season, so if we do go the full campaign with what we've got, there's absolutely no reason it's, "playoffs at best". We've got the best GD in the league, have only failed to score in one game and are the third top scorers, which is heavily skewed by West Ham winning a couple of 6-0s.

Can’t be unhappy with a point at West Brom, especially when missing three key players.

Makes sense. Surprised Leo isn’t involved at all.

He was only parsley responsible for the problems at Palace but it was definitely thyme to go.

He's now been manager for one year, Still was sacked following a 0-2 home defeat by PNE on November the first. Since then we've lost one league game at St Mary's, against Hull in January. Happy anniversary Tonda!

He was stood directly in front of the keeper, right in the path of the ball, he is quite obviously going to be a distraction to the keeper. The whole 'not interfering with play' rule was brought in to stop goals being disallowed for someone stood halfway to the corner flag, 30 yards away from the ball. A man stood dead centre of the goal, a yard out directly in the flight path of the ball is as blatantly interfering as can be. The second paragraph is just a complete guess, you have no idea what they actually said to each other. The Lino doesn't have the depth perception to judge the position of Stephens, relative to the goal. The ref can't tell if anyone is playing him onside. They need to corroborate both these pieces of information to come to a decision, hence the discussion.

Fourth vs fifth, they’ve won three out of their last four, so certainly won’t be easy. I expect a small amount of rotation, possibly Downes starting if fully fit.
