Loved that mask/blood photo of him. Would not mess.

Downing and Carroll basically leveled out the ridiculous Torres fee, though. Spurs signings arguably covered by the Bale signing (and Levy having an infamously tight wage control over the club). These clubs both have more commercial streams than Villa as well - especially Liverpool. Chelsea/Man City/Man Utd can make poor signing after poor signing and simply gloss over it by pumping more money into another signing. There's just no recompense for their mistakes. Didn't work out? We'll throw another £30m at the problem! It's not reality - not at all. The Matic signing underpins this. "Sold" for £5m - bought back for £21m. Money isn't an issue. We simply can't operate on this footing, and neither can most clubs in the league.

Apparently. Twitter rumours say we're "definitely" signing one player - various other tweets saying we're "actually signing 2" players.
-
Looks like a few tweets going round saying that we're in for a CB and a CM tomorrow. TWO signings? Surely not...

Did we play good football & pick up points between Feb & May last season? Yes we did. I don't really understand what point you're making here?

Yeah, Young was an expensive risk that worked out pretty wonderfully.

The problem is that we seem to want it all - not to be in a relegation battle, to sign players, to play beautiful football and to have a sustainable club. The reality is that the financial trimming means that we simply can't do this and have to prioritise. In my opinion; 1. Sustainability 2. Survival 3. Additions 4. Beautiful football It's just an added bonus to have a team playing wonderful, easy on the eye stuff. I can put up with a couple of seasons of dross to see a long-term benefit. This summer is huge though, no doubt about it.

But we do play Football Manager, so we know he's awesome.

In a different timescale, but I seem to remember us being interested in signing Ruud Van Nistelrooy from PSV but settled on JPA instead. Didn't we also bid for Falcao under MON in 2008 or something? Just imagine...

Yeah, I'm not even sure ANY of the ball was over the line...

CONTROVERSY! O'Brien once again makes a good run down the right, puts in a deep cross to the back stick and McKirdy (again) bundles it home... ...but wait! The linesman has flagged saying the ball had gone out before O'Brien crossed it. It hadn't

Half time. Liverpool looked really good early on, we've come into the game since scoring. Some glimpses of good football but I wouldn't say anyone has particularly stood out. The conditions are pretty shit to be fair

Only 15? Won a good header at the back shortly after his run and pass as well by the way.

Haven't noticed Green at all. Strain has looked decent, Lyons-Foster just made a crucial interception. It's been mainly Liverpool though.

According to the lineups on Page 41, McKirdy scored with O'Brien getting the assist. O'Brien basically ran down the line, called for the pass then put a great low cross into the box. McKirdy slid in between two defenders to poke it under the keeper.

Not really, Liverpool playing well to be honest. Our keeper has made a couple of decent saves though.

Fair shout. Apparently he went to coach somewhere instead.

Haven't we also got Michael Henke as our chief scout or something?
