Wingmen I'm in Boston at the moment, arriving yesterday. It was freezing here last night walking around the cities famous Faneuil Hall, but rather disturbingly less cold according to breakfast TV than Chicago, where I head back to later this afternoon.

Tomorrow I may decide to give sat on the couch like a dementive depressive a miss and actually go out to find a Saturday morning world outside of my own little one. Builders continue to work in our house, and that appears to be the excuse that I need.

Scott Sinclair signed as expected, with the club clearly waiting for enough time to evolve so the youngster's loan period can include the play-off finals. Ooh even typing that gives me the goolies.

Sinclair I would expect will start tomorrow as Pardew aims for an entry in the record books by playing 5 wingers although I actually wonder if he goes without most of them and plays Sinclair behind a lone forward, with four in midfield to include Semedo, in a kind of 4-1-3-1-1 formation. On the basis that he should drop Halford after his verbal assassination of him last week then Moo2kil and Youga would then provide the width with Sodje hopefully back in the team alongside Paddy.

Anyway, if you need me I will be either shopping, sipping coffee or walking the dog that I haven't got. I might take my phone though just in case! Come on you reds.  ¶ 10:11
