Loving that work.

Aye. Nail on the fucking head

Based on his sketchy performances, there'll be loads of clubs in for him...

Well at least we have got hold of a new defender, seemingly

Real and Atletico get 2 window transfer bans (not including this window). Watch as prices go through the roof in January...

stuff like that and stuff like this are turning football into a cesspool of dodgy dealing

Manchester United sponsor Adidas wants Barcelona and Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 28, to be reunited with Pep Guardiola, who is leaving his post as Bayern Munich coach this summer, at Old Trafford.

imagine the scandal when drug tests are introduced to football in a serious manner

Who will be the first PL team to get a similar ban?

Not counting the Mikel saga, obvs.

Chelsea should already have received one for the way the signed Isaiah Brown.

I reckon City are probably the most likely to be caught out but you can never discount West Ham to be dodgy bastards. Them and Newcastle.

Bit late to solve the current injury crisis, unfortunately.

Klopp really is a joy. We are so lucky to have him in the premier league and Liverpool in particular :)

De Gea will be over the moon at that news.

Real to nab him for big monies in this window then?

and Hazard.

How fucking dare you...

What are you on about? Do you think about what you're going to write before it comes out? Or is it pretty much just a mental vomit every time you man the keyboard?

sorry dan, but could you clarify, to which of my 33,000+ posts are you refering

Might be easier to identify which one he wasn't referring to...

Anyway, will the Villa revival continue tomorrow?

And will it start Leicester's dramatic slide down the table now that we have to play some top teams/Vardy's injured/Mahrez has lost his form/the lack of depth in our squad is found out/other teams suss us out and start to take us seriously/insert your own cliche/etc?

I'm going to guess no and no, but confidence is a funny thing and I have to say I was pretty pleased to see villa take 3 points on Tuesday. As unlikely as it is, I hope they survive.

Welcome to the internet.

Tottenham blog, deep dive on the new stadium and it's financing.

https://thespursreport.wordpress.com/2016/01/11/the-300-million-funding-question-and-the-dangers-of-doing-an-arsenal-new-spurs-stadium-deep-dive-part-1/

Tl:dr, funding/loans are in place, it will cost more to build including hotels/housing than Arsenal's and will hurt financially, but not as much as Arsenal's did, meaning we should still have money to improve the squad, as long as the project stays on target..

Part 2 next week..

Dear Lord - there's a Spurs blog?
