Blue Daze

As for the troublesome November period Stoke Away Norwich Home Spurs Away Could be worse. December looks like a time we could make a real run with 3 home games (Bournemouth, Sunderland, Watford) and 2 away (Leicester and Man United). We play Man City at home a few days before a potential Champions League Quarter-Final second leg but nothing else exceptionally notable in that regard.

Probably why he's feeling more optimistic about Arsenal's chances then.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33161310 Manchester City have made an increased offer of £35.5m for Raheem Sterling, which is likely to be rejected by Liverpool. The Reds value the 20-year-old England international, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Real Madrid, at £50m. Last week Liverpool turned down a bid of £25m, plus add-ons, from City. Sterling joined Liverpool from QPR in 2010 and is under contract until 2017, but has rejected the offer of a new £100,000-a-week deal. It is understood the new offer is a basic £35.5m, which could rise to nearer £40m when various extras are added. Some reporting it's a final offer but sounds unlikely. City have increased their offer by £10 million in the space of about a week which is a bit desperate, but probably prices us out immediately unless we can do something involving loan players. All gone quiet on the part of his agent too.

£30 million/3 year contract £50 million/5 year contract £4 million/1 year loan. One of these things is not like the other, One of these things just doesn't belong. It's George Weah 2.0.

We are, but I don't think it's something that Martin actually thinks we should be in favour of, or even accepting of. Some of the way the females are portrayed is extremely troubling, but I think Martin has punished those who prostitute women out or even hurt them. You're right that it was an arranged marriage but look at the way it was carried out, the way her brother treated her and the way Drogo treated her at first. She had to 'take control' in that relationship. That's her journey in my opinion, from sex object as a path to power for her brother to someone who can

Swansea at home on opening weekend is a perfect starter in my opinion. Shouldn't be moved further than Sunday hopefully. Maybe United-Spurs ends up on Monday. City second is a bit of a pain but it gives us a chance to set our stall out. Last game of the season is at home to Leicester which could be worse, although if they're still fighting for survival.... 5th from last game is home to City. 3rd from last game is home to Spurs. Arsenal at home on the 19th September HOME to Watford on Boxing Day - Perfect. Away to Man United 2 days later...urgh. Away to Arsenal 23rd January. Home to Man United 2 weeks later on 6th February. To me, those 'big' games look a lot more spread out than last season when we had a 20 game run after Christmas where we didn't play too many of the big guns. We have a run from 26th September (after the Arsenal game) of about a dozen games where the biggest are Liverpool at home and Spurs away. That could be a key period for us to get a lead. The CL Fixtures are... 15–16 September, 29–30 September, 20–21 October, 3–4 November, 24–25 November, and 8–9 December 2015. So after Everton H and before Arsenal A After Newcastle A and before Southampton H After Villa H and before West Ham A After Liverpool H and before Stoke A After Norwich H and before Spurs A After Norwich H and before Leicester A

In the context of this particular case, no. She was pimped out for her brother's gain. Not sure if it's as explicit in the books as the show. The fact she falls for him is troubling from a feminist viewpoint but that's a huge can of worms.

Both have a year left but Begovic is 6 years younger. Still think he's overpriced at anything over £7 million though. Maybe a deal involving Moses?

He joined in September so no pre-season with United. Not sure who came out of their season looking good except De Gea.

It looks like he's signed so why don't you try being positive and getting behind him now. Everyone else seems to be managing.

If he's our player then get behind him and hope it works out well. If it doesn't then it's only for a year.

Who were you expecting us to sign?

I think they'll take that into account both before and after his loan. I just don't know what type of chances he'd realistically get here next season. I think at this time in his career what he needs is minutes and I think he gets at least double the number somewhere else.

I think he probably has but he's not going to start a match for us until the League Cup at best. Maybe he gets 500 minutes which are sporadic and he never develops a rhythm. Or he could go to a Premier League club who give him consistent starts and he shows he's good enough for this league. He's still got to prove that. Having said all that, I think Solanke might be given a chance this year because I get the impression he's viewed far more favourably by the club. It's not always about earning a chance as much as being good enough. It's why Loftus-Cheek got given chances in the team when someone like Baker didn't.

Score a Premier League goal. Hopefully he'll get a chance to do that every week next year and if he does then we can let Falcao go and bring Bamford in.

Any particular 'hungry youngster' who should feel aggrieved?

My view a few weeks ago and nothing's changed. Hopefully Remy stays.

Think everywhere's been reporting it as a loan. Hope he's a success here but if he's not then he's gone in a year and he's price will probably come to about the same amount we make losing Kakuta, Moses and Drogba.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

I'd rather take a gamble on Falcao maybe being good enough versus Austin who will likely never be good enough.

Home, sun shining against....Sunderland please. Preferably on a Saturday, probably a Sunday....f**k it being on a Monday.

Then it can definitely f**k off then. I think it has huge potential and the way it creates galaxies is impressive but give me Mass Effect and limited galaxies with a great storyline (ignoring the ending) over this....if it is what it seems to be.

True, but what happens once you get there? It's like enjoying the unparalleled freedom of the rail networks and ending up in Leeds. Actually there's possibly more death and destruction in Leeds. What you need is a cohesive narrative to tie that amazing technology together.

He needs to play week in an week out too or else he'll never reach his potential of being 'meh, pretty decent'. 18 league goals in a season is impressive and puts him up there with Darren Bent, Roque Santa Cruz, Benni McCarthy, Marcus Stewart and Michael Bridges. Funny you should mention Sutton by the way. Guess how many goals he got in the season before he joined us? Not saying he'd be a flop, but nothing suggests he's ever been nor would ever be good enough for us and you'd worry about flogging him down the line if that was the case.

Someone photoshop this...or don't. Same thing.
