We should have got a temp in for him whilst he's signed off

Great opportunity to put a bit of daylight between us and Southampton today. So we will probably lose!

And as much as we are patting ourselves on the back, what about Leicester? I genuinely hope they win the League this year.

Astonishing, watching this on BT Sport now 0:3

I think everyone felt Tinkerman was badly treated by Roman Abramovich and no one likes Chelsea anyway So it will indeed be great to see them win the Prem.

[BrabusMog]

He certainly knows how to set a team up! Must be the best manager in the Prem after Bilic!

AC on the bench & Payet back in the centre.

COYI!!!

[TCEvo]

Started well

Considering we had over half an hour against 10 men that was a poor performance.

Apparently only 2 shots on target?

We had plenty of posession but just could not get thru. Payet & Valencia were just ineffective today.

Very poor, repeat of the crap performance away to Watford.

Hopefully a bking post game & move onto scousers at home on Tues.

That's what me and my dad said, we battered them everywhere but the final third. I have to admit I'd had quite a few beers yesterday but it looked like we were playing with a flat back 5 at first, we didn't seem to open up until about 20 minutes. Their goal was lucky, but you've got to be in it to win it and Valencia should not be pussying out of challenges like that in the box.

It's a mark of the quality of the season that I view that as an opportunity lost.

£38m bid in for Payet, according to Sky

Nothing mentioned about that on this piece put out an hour ago.

[BrabusMog]

Holy st, that's a lot of cake for someone his age!

[pincher]

So what would you do if you were the Daves?

Take a £26m profit and say thanks for the six months of magic, or tell them to get lost?

I hope the latter and I'm not even sure he would want to go there when the Euro's are this summer?

[RichB]

Seriously? I would tell them to take a hike. Payet will not want to go to China however he will negotiate an improved deal with the Hammers as a result and that's fair. Good luck to him on that.

[BrabusMog]

Yeah, no problem with with rengotiating, fair's fair and all that. What I am more confused about is how this can happen outside the transfer window?
