That was quite a goal by Jackson, he made Knight look like a pylon.  That goal could certainly see him finish January at a club above League Two.  

I think that Serioux would be a good player for TFC to grab.  Especially for a draft pick.

I have never thought that Downing was that good a player if I were Boro I would be laughing all the way to the bank.

I checked out the potential Bosmans, and It will be interesting to see who moves where from that group.  We know that Owen and Davis have been offered new deals, whether they are accepted is another matter.  

I also wanted to say how disgusted I am by the people that are calling up Defoe and leaving threats. (news.bbc.co.uk/.../7810341.stm)  Actions like that don't entice a player to stay in fact they entice a player to leave, along with everyone else.  

Also I think that it is ridiculous when clubs lie to their fans, for example Defoe missed the FA Cup tie with the Flu (more like dont-cup-tie-itis).  Why not just tell everyone that Defoe is going (which they have done) and say that they didn't want to cup tie him as it would slightly decrease the money that they receive.  But given that City are out of the FA Cup, Juventus aren't in the FA Cup, and the fact that Harry won the Cup without Defoe last year I think that if he is still a Pompey player he should play in the replay at Bristol.  As I think it is more important for Pompey to make the next round then it is for Defoe to be cup tied.

I've seen Downing play a couple of times and he's impressed me, actually. Because he plays for Boro, you almost never hear about him. Boro is right that £6 million is a joke of an offer but their price tag of £15 million is also much too high. £10 million seems more reasonable to me.

It was nice to see Simeon's goal on the Score during their daily recaps.  It would have been nicer however, if the narrator would have mentioned that Simeon is indeed a Canadian.

From Sky Sports: 21.05  Gillingham manager Mark Stimson is hoping to keep hold of star striker Simeon Jackson this month after he impressed on the big stage on Sunday. Ipswich are thought to be interested.

Just like I thought, onwards and upwards for Simeon.

Is Zaki considered a transfer target for anyone?  Despite the not so hot recent form, i think he has the characteristics most teams would like up top (hard working, ability to finish).
