Bewildered

Isgrove has looked decent in both of these friendlies, as has Puncheon. Surely Puncheon is pushing to start against WBA and Isgrove at least feature.

I think they changed the kick off to 4pm (our time).

http://liveonsat.com/LJ___foot_friendly_club_ALL.php According to this page, the Besiktas game is being shown on TV in Turkey, so there is a good chance there will be a stream for it.

Don't know if Hulk's issues at Zenit stem entirely from the racist subset of their fanbase, rumours are that the likes of Denisov, Kerzhakov etc are upset that he earns more money than them. Here's an interview where he talks a bit about racism and issues with teammates. http://www.euronews.com/2013/02/08/hulk-russia-and-racism/

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 4m Fulham have bid 12m € for Roma's Osvaldo. Roma requesting 17m €

Serie A side, went up last season.

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 1m West Ham's target Duvan Zapata is negotiating with Sassuolo, according to Sky Italy

Good first half, **** defending, goalkeeping second half, struggled to create all game. We can spend as much as we like on a striker, but if the supply doesn't improve it won't make too much of a difference. Wanyama, Puncheon, Chambers were impressive Lovren, Fonte, Davis & Gazzaniga were poor

Manchester City FC ‏@MCFC 1h 77. @MicahRichards instantly into the action and instantly hurt! The defender has a cut lip after a nasty clash of heads He must have more pace than people credit him with if he can travel to St Mary's from China in just 1 hour!

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 2m Arsenal have today met Roma to ask about Osvaldo, according to Sky Italy Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 32s Fulham also had talks with Roma for Osvaldo, according to Sky Italy

http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/Gino%20Peruzzi/leistungsdaten/spieler_138110_2012.html#ARGC According to this Peruzzi played at RB and RM during last season.

The one that Di Canio claims they have decided not to sign over issues with his medical? http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/transfer-news-gino-peruzzi-switch-to-sunderland-is-off--reveals-paolo-di-canio-8727864.html

Would also give MP the option to play Clyne at LB if Shaw is unfit/suspended.

My mistake, looks like they gave up on his permit. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-ham-line-up-former-2071202

Worst side in the league and it was only good fortune we were winning that game until Forest had a man sent off. Then we did what was expected.

Lambert is our talisman, not sure I can recall a single game since he signed where we've played well without him in the side. Selling would be a colossal **** up.

West Ham are reportedly going to sign him, the only hold up is that he can't get a work permit

Pretty sure those Dortmund rumors from a few weeks ago Pochettino denied that ended when Ramirez said he wanted to stay were started by his agent in an interview with tuttomercatoweb. He's also the agent of Gonzalo Bueno, who we have been linked with for weeks mostly due to this agent saying we want him in interviews.

Possibility there could be a stream of the Schalke match on the 24th (Wed). It is being shown on Sport1 in Germany and wiziwig has a page for the match in place (no streams will appear there until the hour before kickoff though) http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=210160&part=sports

A real bargain, especially if he's being offered with free post and packaging.

Like I said, he works hard and puts a shift in, and did put in some great displays against the better sides. I just don't think he is as effective against teams that sit on the edge of their own box and look for counter attacks as his play in the final third lacks quality.

10 at best.
