Good morning.
That charming bunch from Fulham are on their way over from Second Hand Fridge then and I can’t believe were in Gameweek 17 and I’ve yet to wheel out that hackneyed old phrase, ‘This game is pivotal’.
A reflection upon just how well things have been going, I guess.
The sinister spectre of injuries looms though and we are still waiting to see if the boy Bale will be fit. The Mirror says he will be, the Daily Mail says he won’t.
Azza Blud’s injury has been revealed as small tear that might be right in a matter of just two or three weeks. But the reality as we all know is that it’ll take that plus numerous ‘getting back to full match fitness’ appearances. So see you sometime in February old man.
Let’s hope that Arry includes Sandro whatever happens. His second half against Sunderland was superb. As I said in the ratings for that one, the trio of him, Pathe News Boy and Modric really is the business.
If Bale is banjaxed, I’d roll with Brad, A&E, Kaboul, King, Walker, Sandro, Modric, PNB, Kranjcar vdV and Adebayor.
Eye-catchers on the betting front for me have to be Modric as anytime goalscorer at 5/2 …and for those with an iron constitution Chelsea HT, Spurs FT is a whopping 22/1 both courtesy of Boylesports.
Oh and news in from a usually reliable source that David Beckham will be at The Lane tomorrow. Presumably as a spectator.
Harry the ol’ joker that he is says Ade is struggling….woah
King 50:50
Bale a maybe
Defoe probably a no
Anyways –
Walker Kabboom King Disco Benny
Sandro Parker
VDV Modric Bale
Ade
For me, or more attacking still with Walker up to midfield, Kaboom at right back and a place on the bench for Sandro?
Sandro on the bench? Was ist das?!
I think Walker as a winger is a plan though (a good plan) :daumen:
Kranjkie is a good footballer and team mate.He has given us a lot, but I wonder if this is not the moment to hammer in a plank for the future.
If Baler cannot start I would like to see Townshend given the opportunity of his life. Am sure he would rise to it. Twice as fast as Kranjkie, which is not everything but still useful.
An advantage is that Cheatski would not have prepared for him. Another that his defense is stronger.
But what do I know about Andros’ performance in training. Perhaps he is a year away and this game is too important. Easy enough to chatter from the comfort of below ships…
townsend could have been on the bench against sunderland,i doubt you’ll be seeing him again until next year,probably going out on loan jan 1st
Redknapp mentioned Lewis Hamilton, in the same interview where he mentions that there have been approaches by PL clubs to loan Livermoreorless, but that he’s not sure whether he can spare the body. With regards to the winger he was talking about how a Championship might come in for him (but hasn’t yet was the subtext). Doesn’t sound much like Aitch thinks he’s ready.
I just spend ten mins imagining a grouse on a see saw.
no one?
Im dissapointed. First paragraph..
so….very….alone
The next person to mention david beckham will have me dropping a turd in a rotating fashion a la ice cream van vendor fashion on their xmas pudding. Chelsea we are coming for you.
What do you do for a Flake?
assuming Bale is out..with Parker and Sandro holding, anyone ahead of them will have time and space to create. obviously Mods plays in front of them and alongside him id go Niko. i think he could raise his game and cause chels a lot of probs.
