Thank Christ for that, I'm sick of us having these extended periods of being dragged through the shit. Not that there aren't plenty left that are still capable of that....

Haven't heard from Mr Dyer recently. Is he still there?

Yeah. Do you want him?

Never, but maybe you could throw him into the deal with Brum?

Nah. We should at least get something for him. Maybe Matthew Upson might be worth a punt.

I didn't think Newcastle did defending...

First time for everything.

Actually Dyer is looking a bit more like he can actually be bothered again. He's one of the players I'd say has responded well to Souness (along with Bramble and Taylor).

He's still not having the impact he was two seasons ago, though - I think he's been worked out a bit by defences, and with Bowyer and Jenas in the team most of the time it's unclear which of them are supposed to be attacking.

Seems like tomorrow we will play something like 4-3-3, with Faye as the holding midfielder and Kluivert, Ameobi and Shearer all starting. I can't believe this formation will work in the Premiership, although it should be too much for a League defense.

Southampton 2 Portsmouth 1

That is all.

A comfortable win which shouldn't be a surprise because Coventry were much, much worse than Yeading were. Starting to get a bit worried about Kluivert now, he hardly touched the ball.

I'm not worried yet. If he's fit, he'll get a good run in the team and it should all come back. He's got class to spare when he's on form. Let's hope he's not a complete lazy twat though.

That is my aforementioned worry.

FA Cup draw, if we can get past the baggies we have the trees visit us.

Which is nice. Especially if we do end up buying a couple of their players today. Which I doubt.

We get to play Chelsea four times in one season

Well, we didn't do too badly in the home game last time... but we'll need a fantastic performance and a bit of luck to get through, I reckon.

Hurray, lucky us!

Bernard's gone to Southampton. Now why the hell would he do that?

Oh, looks like Forest has accepted our bid for Reid and Dawson. Still think they're overpriced meself...
