Hello and welcome to the weekend.
Losing at Secondhand Fridge won’t be the end of the world but it’s dispiriting enough to open a pre-match with those words, let alone have to ponder what that scenario might mean in real life.
The thing is though, we can win this game. We absolutely 100% can. We have the assets, players who have all season laid on some of the most entertaining football in the country, on the continent, in the world.
What’s screwed us over aren’t injuries, crap players or acts of God. What’s screwed us over is poor judgement. And for that we should take comfort. Eh? In the softly spoken words of Sir John Betjeman, ‘Do wot Aitch?’ Yes, take comfort because a daft plan can be reversed, an strategy that didn’t pan out abandoned.
If Walker was struck down with a lashed liver, Azza Blud hospitalised with a kippered kidney, there’s not much one can do but let the medics do their best. And pray earnestly, of course (belt and braces).
But this fiasco is redeemable.
I’ve put Carlo in again purely to make the point about Brad being stuck to his line and the fact that he’s annoying me doing it. King needs a proper rest up and no discussion to be entered into about it.
So you play the 3 men you can count upon and shore them up with a pair of tough guys sitting deep in front of them. Parker and Sandro would give us 5 men deal with Mata, with Benny and Kyle obviously wanting to move the ball up whenever they can.
You put Modric in the middle where he does the most damage. You put Lennon on the right, Bale on the left and tell him to bloody well stay there. Rafa off Ade’s shoulder and we should all be home in time for tea and medals.
Prediction? I hear people saying they hope we can nick a point. I think we can nick that single goal that will win us all three. 1-2 with the winner scored late.
Ade and Lennon are doubtful to be back this weekend, aren’t they?
yep, lennon is def out, kind of ruins the article now
HH – is the earnest praying you propose the same as that whish was applied to our chum from Bolton(tee hee)
More earnester.
Is that the feminine of Ernesto?
That is correctly.
Harry’s team for tomorrow:
Friedel
walker nelsen kaboul bae
bale sandro parker modric
defoe saha
Guaranteed, how much you wanna bet???
good call that
You actually think Harry will drop Van Der Man?
Who knows…He might play him on the right!
when I am done hanging my testicles from the airing cupboard I will sadly reflect on your correctness. Redknapp should be shot with balls of his own shite every time he puts out a line-up like this
I like the cut of your jib…. ;-)
I believe we can fly, double dip and splat all over Chelscum heads
failing that 0-1 you Spurs
on what logical grounds would you drop Friedal!!! Barking up the wrong tree me old china!!!! only playing one cehtre half is suicide!!! Azza won’t play, still doing his conditioning work! agree with playing 2 holding midfielders though!!!!
