This does remind me of when Bent left us #themoneygrabbingtoeragfuckwit, (for all you twitter people out there) but, we only lost one player albeit an important one whereas the barcodes will if it comes off lose two of their best players. Also think that when they get Cabaye etc. back they should be okay unfortunately.
I spotted the link to the West Ham lad and I'm very underwhelmed. If he is a replacement for Willo then fine but I fear he may be being brought in to be pretty much the main man. Hope I'm wrong. In terms of your other points its hard to argue but I would hope that, whatever crap is going on behind the scenes it gets sorted pronto. I've had a feeling that, for a while we as a club have been pandering to Ba too much and effectively setting up our team to allow him to be the main man. He spat his dummy out last year and said 'play me through the middle or else' so it looks like we caved in for fear of losing him. The whole saga dragged on so that didn't help matters one bit. With potentially one disruptive element gone and Cisse back in his favoured position I hope things get better from hereon in. I'll always be thankful to Ba for his goals and of course the memories but we need to move on and I hope we do.
I couldn't. he'd get bombarded with grief for having a DGB, rep whoring maggie bastard son. He rarely posts but reads Daily so if you're reading today old man I'll leave it up to you if you 'reveal yourself'. A few years ago when he was 50 I agreed to wear a SAFC shirt to the SOL with him as part of 'his present'... something which I did. The flip side was he agreed on my 40th (next year) to wear a TOON SHIRT with me to a home game..... haven't forgotten pops

there is about 8 clubs (including us) involved in the relegation battle, and i think QPR might turn it around, so Fulham and teams below them better get a move on. We could be 10 points clear next Saturday with 2 winnable games but it is SAFC so expect anything. My prediction is Reading (awefull away) Soton (bad in defence) QPR, like Reading too many points to make up, although Villa, Wigan look dodgy.
