Newcastle aren't going to go down, are they?

Sunderland v Reading tonight zzzzz

The Chamakh & Gervinho All Stars vs Bradford as well...possible upset? Don't really care.

When do we get to start wildly speculating about the January transfer window? If only someone on here had incredible amounts of insider knowledge.

Newcastle won't go down

If Sunderland don't win, they are. Their next 6 fixtures are horrid bar Reading & Southampton, they've got to win those games.

Quite looking forward to Bradford/Arsenal, but more so because of the Tuesday Club podcast I listen to probably.

Falcao going to Chelsea :(

- I think I'd be too scared of Falcao being a £50m flop
  
  to be particularly excited about him signing.
  
  Actually nah, I'd wet the bed. Ain't gonna happen though, certainly not in January.

  he would have been in line for a huge ban had it not been for the specifics, which some on the disciplinary panel wanted to dish out anyway. Seeing as Barry obviously is gonna be found guilty, it should be interesting to see what the huge ban for swearing at officials actually is.

- Where do you think he'll be playing next season...
  
  when this 75% tax rate comes into full swing?
  
  Running out of options, really, isn't he, despite being a brilliant player.
  
  Personally, i think if he came to England he'd be the Premier League's best player by an absolute mile. No idea why Man City have never bit, considering they could probably get him for less than they've been offered for Balotelli (€40m, from PSG, allegedly).

    - Is that what's happening there, idk?
      
      I was under the impression it was because they'd made a couple of dodgy summer signings and Mankini was having tactical brainfarts defensively? Are they having trouble off the pitch with Aguero, Dzeko and Tevez (again?), not heard owt.
      
      forzaborza @Parsefone | 11 Dec '12, 22:11 | X | ^ This | Reply
      - Dzeko is constantly whining
        
        about being used as a sub, despite the fact he's been given endless starts, is always shit, and is basically custom built to be a last-fifteen-minutes-attacking-substitution. Those chippy little post-match interviews he does don't do him any credit. Tevez has kept his head down recently to his credit, but is beginning to look disinterested in games not involving Ferguson and basically cannot ever be trusted thanks to who he is owned by, as you know. Aguero is fine as far as I'm aware, but he will always have half an eye on his eventual return to Spain. Balotelli is Balotelli.
        
        This is pretty much par for the course for a top side, but put on top a couple of dodgy summer signings and Mancini having tactical brainfarts and the situation is uneasy. Bringing Ibrahimovich into this even in exchange for Balotelli (I'd love to know where you pulled 40 million from by the way- directly after the World Cup maybe, certainly not now or ever) would be nightmarish, a return to the Maddy and Bellend days.

Unlucky, Bradford.

A truly brilliant effort, not only to get a lead and protect it for almost 90 minutes, but also to stem the Arsenal flow once they did equalise. They're not gonna beat a team like Arsenal on penners, though, let's be honest.

Nigel de Jong rupturred his achilles on the weekend and will be out for at least six months...

the Daily Express covered it here (heh) - http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/364264/Move-back-to-Manchester-City-could-be-on-cards-for-Nigel-de-Jong

Sort of sums up just how much research tabloid journos do.

Reminds me of last season when a club, think it was Arsenal, were being linked with a defender from Serie A. Talks had apparently already taken place between Arsenal and Inter Milan and terms had been agreed. The first comment underneath the article simply read "Not only did this player leave Inter Milan permanently last year, he also currently has a broken leg".

Don't know how they get away with it, really.
