I'm sure there was a rumour going around about the 17th of March being the announcement date. Here's hoping. It would be absolutely huge for us if this came off.

Didn't realise he was 34. No way, he'd want big wages as well so it's a cert that West Ham will buy him and offer him 75k a week. I'd rather we give one of the youngsters a chance. Kenny or Connolly look to be next in the pecking line and we'll see what happens with Browning.

Should be a good day of Sport today. The Italy vs Ireland six nations rugby union match, Everton to get 3 points which takes us nicely to the Wales vs England rugby match. Looking forward to giving the English another hiding at our place... On a serious note though I can't see us winning with the way you've been playing. Will be a very tough and close match I think. You predicting an England win again Mike?

Agree with all of the above. He'll be unhappy with the second half there and make them pay for it in training.

All of his 4 goals were quality finshes. He is lethal when he's getting chances. Class.

Rom. Leading score now as well with 16.

Bournemouth Home, Middlesborough Away and Sunderland Home next 3. Minimum 7 points there hopefully (9 is realistic as well) so lets not be too down hearted tonight.

What an absolute horrible team Stoke are. Hoofing it up at any chance to Crouch and have shithouses like Adam, Shawcross and Bardsley flying into tackles thinking they're the next crazy gang. The conditions were horrible so to come away with a point is decent taking everything into consideriation. With their aerial threat and Adam's delivery I was a bit nervous in that second half. Great move from Koeman going to a back 4 it must be said. Completely shut down Arnautovic and stopped any momentum they had. Still unbeaten in the league since the Derby so onwards and upwards.

Yes!! Arguably our best eleven tonight. Decent bench as well! COYB!!

Does the transfer window close tomorrow at 11pm?

Reminds me of Benjani that used to play for Portsmouth and City. Hard worker but technically very, very poor. He'll get chances due to his eagerness but on the whole he's not good enough.

Now that he has passed Charlton's record I can definitely see how this one could happen. I think Rooney's reached the stage where he'd like to enjoy the last few years of his career and I think he's want to come here. I'd be up for it. Gone way past the stage where I was pissed off he left.

Finally found a system that gets the best out of our players. Joel looks brilliant in goal and with Holgate and Mori alongside Williams we look solid and organised at the back. Baines and Coleman are natural wing backs and give us the width to stretch teams out. The midfield have finally learned the pressing required and we look to have real depth there all of a sudden with Barry, Davies, Gana, Schneiderlin and McCarthy. The system definitely gives Barkley more space and he's been superb of late. Lukaku's hold up was very good and with Mirallas and Lookman looking dangerous behind him, we look very threatening going forward. Up the Blues.

Reminds me how good a crosser Deulofeu is. Would love him to get a good run in the team!

Unbelievably quick. Him and Williams would be great.

He's class. Would love him here. Proper centre half!

Best game I've ever seen. Unreal. Final tomorrow will be something special.

All about the Darts during the christmas and new year period for me. Only good thing on at the moment. Would like a MVG vs Anderson final. Would be a classic!

Nothing was going past Williams today. Looked good with Mori and Holgate either side!

I'm not sure to be honest. I always thought there were younger posters than me on here.

25! (years young)

We'd be ecstatic if we signed him before he went to Utd. Things haven't worked out there but I think he's still a huge talent. What's the worst that can happen? He comes here and doesn't perform? Exactly like our current wingers then! I'd be very happy with a loan deal until the summer and take it from there!

And that's why I support this football club. Can't beat a win like that with the crowd bouncing!!

McCarthy was brilliant, so was Coleman, Williams and Barkley. Have to give it to Gueye though!

He's a tank. Excellent on the ball, quick, strong and good in the air. Agree with Fin - his next club will be a Champions League club.
