Grigg scoring twice against utd while mccormack plays utter dogshit before getting his ffs. We were good but need someone who can score a fucking goal. I would worry about this kickstarting fulham's season but they were so terrible I'm not too fussed. Fun evening tho. As I write this, bottle of warm unsatisfying london pride in hand, I gaze out my parents' window and see the craven cottage firm being pursued by the filth.

spurs offload Dawson, sign fazio

nakh is the wintour of our diss content (darraghmac), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 17:06 (nine years ago) link

sounds like it cost only about 2m net

anonanon, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 17:12 (nine years ago) link

From what I've seen of Fazio he looks like an absolute aerial beast but with, erm, concentration issues.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 17:16 (nine years ago) link

I just view our signing centre halves as pure habit these days we dunno what they're for and won't use them but everyone seems to have them

Yes, but what about this incredible introductory Vine from Spurs?

Doesn't that just send shivers down your spine?

Matt DC, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 17:31 (nine years ago) link

lol that vine is wonderful

okay well we know the lad can stand up and he's been to the ground

it does look an advert for a convincing android

ogmor, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 18:53 (nine years ago) link

Steve Bruce appears to be convinced there's gonna be a shortage of centre backs some time soon

Daphnis Celesta, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 18:54 (nine years ago) link

ok lost my shit @ ogmor there

"I saw Alan Pardew say he won't buy British players because they're too expensive," Deeney told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"That's one club you're already out of, plus the top six sides. So you've only got 13 teams left to choose from."

r|t|c, Thursday, 28 August 2014 16:24 (nine years ago) link

When it comes to astoundingly average all-round midfield players Cleverly certainly represents an upgrade on the present incumbent Ashley Westwood. We'll have. £8 mil though, idk

Windsor Davies, Thursday, 28 August 2014 19:51 (nine years ago) link

For an "England international" it's pretty reasonable. I've really grown to hate the fucker but he'll probably do alright at Villa. Hull and Everton want a piece too though

Number None, Thursday, 28 August 2014 19:55 (nine years ago) link

Yeah I was seeing Hull being mentioned. Not really concerned about the idea of Tom Cleverly being worth 8 million, I wasn't being facetious when I said he would be a step up from Ashley Westwood.

Problem is that if one is to believe every report everywhere about Lerner's commitment to the club and the current state of our finances, that £8 million squids is probably the whole remainder of the budget. We need a new centre back and a creative presence in the three quarters, not another midfielder with an accomplished sideways pass. W/e, Tom Cleverly / Fabian Delph as the next England midfield imo

Windsor Davies, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:01 (nine years ago) link

more from Michael Owen, film critic

Tbf to Deeney, it's not as though he's setting his own price. In this market, if Ross McCormack's £11m and Rhodes is £16m, Watford will most likely value him in that bracket too. And no-one's paying that.

Leicester have signed Esteban Cambiasso.

William Bloody Swygart, Thursday, 28 August 2014 23:10 (nine years ago) link

rare instance of Owen being kinda otm

Daphnis Celesta, Thursday, 28 August 2014 23:11 (nine years ago) link

i'm certain that Rovers just didn't wanna sell Rhodes and wd've kept bumping the "price" until City got bored. Cleverley genuinely feels like Villa have stepped backwards

Daphnis Celesta, Thursday, 28 August 2014 23:12 (nine years ago) link

Monaco have apparently taken a €40m hit on Falcao. It's being reported that he'll sign for Madrid today.

He looks a long, long way from being at his best at the moment.

IDS and the laughing clowns of the ConDem-olition are guilty of more than hatred of the disabled and poor. They're guilty of crimes against the Crown and State and all they've ever stood for by their actions.

Yes, guilty of treason. And no government of mine.

Saphir Taider loaned to Southampton from Inter just 3 weeks ago, has just been loaned to Sassuolo instead, totally bizarre.

i think it's that thing when a manager panics because the squad he's taken on is fucking shit so he buys a whole new squad but then it's still fucking shit because they haven't had time to develop as a team unit, you shd be familiar with the concept darragh
