I hope to god catts doesnt need an opp or thats us needing to sign another midfielder in january all these injurys couldnt have came at a worse time with all the tough games weve got coming up God knows whos gona take catts place cause rodwells a ****ing pile of ****e..
It's the 12th December 37 goals in the last 10 games between the sides, never any less than 2 goals a game. Promising!
I remember the gabbas hattrick mind! Thought he'd ****ed it up for the third as keeper should've been out quicker!!
