Every game is in the prem mate. Well that's true Chops. Then again, I've gone into the first two games of our season thinking that the result would define the course of our season. Bit of a shame we've got Forest next, it's gonna be tricky to continue the momentum there. Our midfield is very wasteful, and you can't afford to give the ball away cheaply away from home, especially against the better sides. Four points from the next two games has to be the next target for Leeds. Might even see me in Notts fella.

Davies said from day 1 that we arent in the market to spend 6,7,8 million etc on one player - hence why i thought the £5 million for jones had been infalted! I reckon that was including all add-ons to be honest!

Hmmm....well it's an admirable strategy, and keeping Derby up that way would do wonders for his reputation, but even by Championsip standards I didn't consider your strikeforce as anything special. Not sure that Howard will be prolific at this level. I know Reading stayed up, but they did have an exceptional Championship side.

I think we now realise we HAVE to spend pretty big or we'll do a watford!

Davies just has to make sure he gets in relatively young players who, if the worst comes to the worst, will have good resale values. The gap though now, even when you look at Wigan's squad...it's frightening!

Oh he's injured!! I wondered why I hadn't seen him at a Tottenham press conference yet!

I hear the first part of the medical exam at Spurs nowadays involves the physio checking to see that the new player's balls still haven't dropped.
