Oh right, seems a strange comparison but hey ho.

Berahino reminds me of defoe, some one who's talent will never match up to their ego but is still never the less a pretty good player. Shame he come the summer has wasted so much time messing about.

Berahino was wanted by Newcastle for his pace and to provide an option out right when required, the same now applies to Doumbia, Mitrovic is still the main man and anyone bought would be support.

I'm not bothered in the slightest, Perez can now sit in his number 10 role with the arrival of Doumbia. Reports suggest Newcastle were told Berahino could join them in the summer for an agreed fee between the two clubs, that exchange took place early January. Now West Brom will refuse to sell in the summer due to the audacity of Newcastle to launch a bid anyway.

With that in mind, it seems to me Newcastle knew this was a failed target from the get go but deliberately bid and made it public to sway fans into thinking they'd at least tried. In other words, Newcastle had no intention of getting a bid accepted.

Hoping that's not the case but the points can't be ignored.

It is a pretty naff comparison. Closest high price comparison - age is Lukaku I reckon. If he got a top Premier League club that'd actually play him then he'd smash Shearer's record. His age and goals are incredible.

I hear Teddy has been booted out.

Sadly Teddy is a better player then he is a manager.

Aston Villa appear to be actually trying for that bottom spot. Is the table upside down or what?

I'd be docking Ayew's wages.

denphone · 02-02-2016, 20:47

The man is a absolute idiot.

Shadow Demon UK · 02-02-2016, 21:13

What a goal from Jamie Vardy tonight! Quite brilliant!

Another goal for Rooney too...

denphone · 02-02-2016, 21:14

Typical.

I said a few weeks ago. Arsenal are slipping, and it shows it. Listen to the radio, and the commentator was saying that Arsenal were pushing strongly against Saints. But no one to put the ball in the net.

Wenger was wrong not to buy anyone in the window.

Just think if Wenger wanted a striker, he could have called Daniel Levy, offered him 100 mil for Kane, he might have considered that fee.

But then, we would have three players PLUS the cash for Kane. But there again Kane is a home grown Spurs man scores GOALS Two tonight.

When the Gunners play Spurs at The Lane Kane and co will show Arsenal how to score goals

WE ARE LONDONS TOP TEAM

Well it was worth the wait after all. An early first half goal at OT tonight settled the nerves. Best performance from United for a very long time. Three excellent goals, Martial frightened Stoke all night and young left back Borthwick-Jackson was close behind Martial for MOM.

Second goal was a blast from the past, swift one/two touches from deep in their own half and a sublime finish from Martial.

Only on goal difference you are. And anyway, I would think Wenger could offer Kane lots of money per week but would Kane want to go back to a club where the manager said he would never be good enough for the Premier League or Arsenal? Because if I was Kane, I'd tell Wenger to get lost if he ever came sniffing round again. Plus Spurs would never sell to Arsenal, they only got Sol Campbell because of the Bosman ruling.

It just said on the radio that spuds 11 games unbeaten equals a record set 31 years ago, another coincidence is spuds didn't win the league that year either

Yes it was a good performance from MU but they still have a awful lot of work to do to qualify for the CL where apart from Arsenal all the top teams won.

Arthurgray50@blu · 03-02-2016, 23:01

I always remember many years ago, when Newcastle were at Wembley - yes, they have been to WEMBLEY.

ALL LONDON football fans met at Leicester Square, to say hello to the Geordies. And l met some great Arsenal fans. And we got on well together.

Now, l wont have ANY red colours in my house.

Get rid of whinger Wenger, and Arsenal will be great again. He needed to buy in the window, to prove they can win the title.

I think Arsenal are a great side, but they will burn out. and they don't have the depth that Spurs have got.

Poch has built a quality side, that's why Chelsea AND Man Utd have asked Levy about him
