That's from a selection of the last 15 games - the rest of his season you can find here

Ok so they played 4-4-2 sometimes which i'm aware of. That Norwich game looks dodgy as i very much doubt they played James fudging Pearch in a AMC role.

I remember him absoloutely RIPPING Liverpool apart when Fiorentina beat them in the CL a few years back

I remember that too.

POTL R.E Lloris;

Can confirm now in discussions regarding transfer, AVB believes he will be the #1 for years to come, buys into Daniel's philosophy of buying for now and the future as the player is only 25, and obviously Brad can't go on forever and Carlo as the #2 obviously is nearing the end of his career. Not much more to add at this stage.

The original JJetset @jetsetyid

Yes this is spot on

I don't know how these stats are compiled or who does it - it's the site Greg referred me to as we had this exact same argument at the time. Anyway this is now going O/T

Jordinho.. right now, your my board hero. Thanks for posting all the stuff you get of the internetz.

It really is appreeiciated.

Should probably thank all the people of the internet that find all this info and make it possible for me to repost it here, but nah.

#thfc AVB's doing a press conference tomorrow afternoon at the new training ground in Enfield. Good idea, underlining image of a new era.

For Lloris, their club president said around a week ago that he would be allowed to leave for €20m (around £16m), but only if they got the transfer done early.

Lloris story : according to Jean-Michel Aulas. "I want all this to be settled before July 15, the date I come back from vacation in Nice."

What makes me smile is the weeks of back and forth negotiations over players we want to sign, yet if this was transfer deadline day we'd wrap up the signing in a few hours. #-o

Must be the Jim White influence.

Luckily @BarcaUp2Date seems to be just a Barca news re-tweet thingy that just spews out anything Barca related in the news.

For some reason I really want us to sign Afellay.

 

[BAE]

Must've missed this before, but Asamoah Gyan choosing to sign for the UAE club.. what a bottler!

One decent season in the premiership, and this guy wants to go on a semi-retirement in the UAE??

Noooooooooo

We already have Gio who is fundamentally the same player in every single aspect (even to the extent of being 'sold' from Barca)

Oh, I hope we get him just so we do it to them not once. But TWICE! :ross:

Spent last season there on loan. Out there he makes big bucks, is the best player in the league probably and gets pampered. And of course it isn't Sunderland. Ambition can be many things.

According to reports out-of-contract Blackburn Rovers winger Junior Hoilett is pondering his next move.

Sky Sports claims Tottenham Hotspur, Queens Park Rangers, Liverpool, Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Everton have all had contact with the player's representatives in recent weeks.

Hoilett is currently believed to be in England with his family, continuing talks.

i wouldnt compare him to GDS....Afellay has more of a brain for starters

 

[superspurs]

So if we collect up various tweets, ITK ramblings and rumours we are close on Ade for £5m, Lloris is getting closer at £13.5m and we've agreed a fee for Moutinho?

What kind of sorcery is this?!
