Which one is the biggest mystery?

Absolutely not. The bloke is a busted flush and has been for years, failing in each of his last 4 or 5  jobs. He's also insufferably arrogant and always has been. He's so far up his own arse, which explains all the shit that comes out of his mouth. It's been a long time since he has genuinely had an...

He's good but he really isn't that good. Best we can hope for is that he's a good learner and will continue to develop his game.

I wouldn't be surprised with another 0-5, following the fine tradition of the last couple of years. If we're to stand any chance we've got to have fighters in the side. That means dropping either Kilman or Aguerd and bringing in Mavro - yes I know he's capable of mistakes but he likes to put himself...

What a load of bollox about Potter being forced back into the market for another LB if Emerson leaves. We've got Diouf, AWB, KWP and Scarles who can all play in that position.

Why the f*ck would we want Hojlund? In a poor side he has stood out as being particularly poor. Unbelievably ridiculous idea.

Sir Alf - I agree with almost all of that. A major concern for me is that we've still got a lot of dead wood hanging around and the lack of outgoings is a real problem, putting the kybosh on our ability to strengthen the midfield. I suppose that it's always going to be harder to shift players off th...

Here's a thought. If Antonio had accepted the offer he had on the table instead of being a greedy bugger, this deal with Wilson never would have happened. 

What do you think is going through Antonio's head now?

Which one of those two old crocks would you rather have in the squad?

Better than Rice? Are you Vexed in disguise?  Seriously though, young Potts has clearly benefitted from his loan at Pompey and hopefully is still rapidly learning and improving. Too soon to get too excited but I think he has the potential to be better than JWP, Soucek and Rodriguez, so I do expect h...

 

He's a coke addict.

Might explain some of his delusions.

I read somewhere that the case could still drag on until February, which is utterly insane. I can't understand why the club, and/or Paquetà himself, can't sue the bollocks off the FA for this completely unacceptable delay.

I missed the first half today but by all accounts he had a good game and took his goal well. I have always liked him and like many on here I feel that he has deserved many more minutes on the pitch. Whilst acknowledging that he's not exactly a world-beater he seems like a very decent, effective all-...

Very pleased about this signing. I remember watching that friendly that England lost to Senegal and he was outstanding. He's going to make a big impact, if that I am certain.

It's looking increasingly like we're going to be relying on Fulkrug and hoping that the lad Cummings that we got from Celtic comes good. But I can't believe we won't at least get someone in to deputise for Fulkrug - hopefully Potter and McCauley will turn up a diamond from Africa or Eastern Europe.

Is it entirely beyond the bounds of possibility to suggest that Sullivan's failure to move in the transfer market might be a tactic to try to get Potter to resign?

Agree with everything in Vexed's post except the bit about him not starting. He's a very decent midfielder and 18 goals from midfield in the Championship is excellent. He may not be a glamour signing like Paqueta or Kudus but I would be very surprised if he doesn't turn out to be more productive and...

Mason Mount was a seriously good player a few years ago but not worth the risk now - would almost certainly be another sick note. A new midfield is absolutely crucial - in an ideal world I wouId bin off all of the current lot, but I doubt that's going to happen. I hope we're in for McAtee from City...

Areola's hair looks like a fucking cinnamon bun.

That midfield makes me feel like I'm fast, and I recently turned 67. Maybe it's a cunning plan to get the chairman to cough up for a new midfield. 

You've given us all splinters with that, Alf! Good effort, though. Completely futile, but good effort.

Can't find a working stream today. Anyone got one?

Getting really pissed off with seeing Soucek loping around. He was so far off the pace against Newcastle it's unbelievable. I would like to see Irving get a game - he's looked good in the few games he's had and has got something about him. 

Not much to get excited about there. Too casual with possession - hope Potter gives them a rocket for that. Alvarez and Soucek not doing anything like enough. Replace with Paqueta and Irving. Need to get more bodies forward and create some chances. Newcastle look a bit fragile at the back.

That was absolutely fucking dire - another two hours of my life that I'll never get back. I think I'll take a break for a few games - it's not good for my blood pressure or my sanity.
