Yup, we can't win every game 5-0, particularly at this stage of the season when teams are scrapping for their lives, putting 10 behind the ball. We'll do it, and I'll wager there's still a 3,4,5 - nil result in us yet, probably against a stronger side than QPR who will allow us to play a bit. Next weekend maybe?

Some of the QPR fans were quite vicious, Ivanovic and Oscar must have learnt a lot of English

I heard Ivanovic got hit by something thrown from the crowd, not sure if that's confirmed?

Yeah, lighter.

No Costa or Remy is a worry. It's clear Drogba is totally off the pace now. Maybe try a youngster if Remy still unfit against United? Will be a tough game as they look on form and we don't.

Fingers crossed next season they'll be abusing Championship players.

Didn't we play a strikersless formation at OT last season?

Yes was it Schurrle? I think Fabregas could play the 'false' number 9, and bolster midfield behind him.

In the interests of my fantasy football progress at work, is Costa likely to be crocked for a while?

Out for a minimum of a month, so yeah.

Bugger, that's a shame. Cheers for the reply

Bring Bamford back maybe ?

I hope so. His been great for Middlesbrough.

Next 2 games could decide the title imo. Avoiding defeat will be the main thing!

Even if we lose them with our game in ahnd we would still be 3 points clear.

Only if we won it!

Happy with 2 dull as dishwater 0-0s.

I keep hearing "4 wins and we're champions", but if my maths is right, then if we beat both Arse and Man U then we would wrap the title up by collecting 4 points from Leicester and Palace. That right ?

U19's won the UEFA youth league, now if we could get some into the first team that would be nice

I made it 3 any other source.. Arsenal have 66 from 32 games, IF we beat them the best they can do is 81 points, we currently have 73, IF we beat Utd and Arsenal that's 79. 3 more points from the other 5 games does it, I think.

I really can't see us winning either of those given the lack of striker and poor current form, I agree that a couple of really dour 0-0's will do for me.

[Amirhussain]

New signing, Brazilian wonderkid Nathan.

[GarryDK]

Hs he actually signed? I cant find anything offical?

Don't think it has been officially announced yet, but hopefully soon. Most of the papers saying his passed a medical. £4.5m.

Read that we are offering an improved contract to Patrick Bamford. I hope to see him playing for us soon, though if Middlesbrough get promoted to the EPL, another season could do him good. Has the potential to be a very good player.

Off to the game later. Might not be a thriller but I'll be happy enough with a point. If United come to attack I reckon that we'll beat them, but I suspect that they will be happy enough with a point too so could be a cagey affair.
