Right guys lets get talking about some footie.
Which team do we all support?
For me im a hibs fan which at the moment takes some balls to admit but ha oh wells.

My team is dire i actually dont think iv seen a worse team brace the green and white. It annoys me more the fact that we have got rid of some of the best youngsters to ever play in the SPL for them to join pretty much the OF aqnd then have no re-investmant back in the squad ( bar riordan and stokes who were very little fees). In the paper the other day it said hibs were the top spenders on players in the last 4 years outside the OF ...... that shows that barely anyone must be buying any cunt then cos the players that wear the green the now dont deserve too - bar poss Hanlon, Murray and Brown.

I am a Jambo Fan ;D

and I think since JJ has came back Hearts have played great and I so think we will be in Europe next season.

It would be very odd if hearts didnt fin at least 3rd. I dont think they will split the old firm but you never know.... (Please no ;D )
Something would have to go very wrong at tynecastle in order for hearts not to make Europe...... can always hope tho eh

Rubbish signings for Hibs like, except this young boy from Liverpool, he could have potential! Zemmama is away to Boro (fee agreed), gers interested in Deeks, and Hibs in relegation battle, the future is not bright for us hibees!

Sooooo what did you think of the January window??

[Andy]

andy carrol for 35million whats that about he has barely played 1 season in the premier league and i cant see him being the player liverpool should have in the number 9 jersey.

also as intriguing connor sammon to wigan must be one of the worst premier league siginings ever , they must be preparing for life in the championship because no top league team should ever have sammon, jason scotland and 2 caldwells in their team.

dont think hibs helped themselves by releasing chris hogg and loaning out de grof and zemmama must be pretty short of players and talent now but hey why am i complaining hearts are doing no bad.

I think letting Hogg go was a good move. He has been rotten and isnt playing and will be one of the higher earners. De Graff is playing in a team where the tactic doesnt work for him. He is a box to box midfielder ..... picks the ball up from defence..... gives it to a wide player in the midfield..... runs behind the striker and recieves the ball back and then shoots or plays it on to the striker a tactic which would IMO suit Deeko. However Calderwood doesnt play that tactic he completely misses out the midfield ..... Who in there right mind plays long balls to Riordan ( against Celtic as well with a defence at an average height of 6'3 ). I actually think hibs will do ok. The signings look fine yes a striker who has a name i cant spell or say may not score a lot of goals but he is a big guy and will hopefully set up others and lets face it you dont need to be good to be a striker up front in the SPL.... Boyd for example.

Liverpool must be off there fucking head. £35 million for a striker as Andy rightly says has not completed one season in the EPL. They bring in Suarez which IMO is an awesome signing but Carrol is not worth £35 million no way in hell.
As for Fernando going to Chelsea I think Chelsea have over spent a bit as well. The player is so injury prone and yes when he plays will bang them in but do you really want a striker who has to come in and out every time he picks up a wee knock.... Mind you they do still have Anelka as back up .... hardly an average striker TBH.

All in all a very good transfer window and yesterday was very entertaining. I think Sammon to Wigan is a poor move for Sammon..... He can score in the SPL aii nae bother as iv said you dont need to be a good striker to score goals in this league but in argubly the best league in the world .... Hmmm.....
