Sounds a bit like Redknapp then. Media praise him, but real fans of his clubs know the score.

Noticed the way the results were going this weekend and won a bit of money on Oldham today. So many top half Premier League teams under-estimate lower league opposition - I think they are used to teams tactically playing for draws and parking the bus against them.

That is absolutely hilarious. Brilliant.

Haven't gone tonight. Feel like I should have. Will be gutted if we lose.

Pretty disappointed to see Ballotelli go, he's been the best antagonist in the league since Barton went to France. Hazard's going to have to keep his current form up.

Can't believe that last night. We did so well 2nd half

No players brought in, we are genuinely doomed. Can't get my head around it, not strengthening is suicide.

Next game I'm at is City on the 4th of March, UTV.

We've signed someone

Yacouba Sylla. Never heard of him. Not really what I expected either given he is just 22.

I was genuinely happy to see him go. I've hoped he would from the day he moved to the Premiership. I suppose that for a brief period he was slightly entertaining but in my opinion it didn't take long to realise he wasn't "mad", he was just a dick.

Seems a few other clubs were interested, and I like his attitude, but surely someone older/more experienced is what we need? Still, better than nothing...
