Good afternoon.
No chalkboard today as it’s a lot of work to say ‘Can you play Hugo and Ade, please?’ My suspicion is that the boss won’t but come what may I really do hope that he is quicker to make alterations than in the last few outings.
Bale playing on the left was dominant against Norwich and nothing here suggests to me why he would not want to repeat that today. The man I ‘d like most to step up should he feature is Siggardson. Gylfi has been a bit of a lost soul of late and I’m convinced there is moreĀ to him than this.
The injury situation is grim. We’re missing the wit and craft in the middle of the pitch that should ignite the rest of the team. Instead we have Huddlestone firing beautiful passes whilst acting like he’s wearing an invisible wheel clamp. Livermore needs screaming at, cuddling …something to encourage him to show some character.
I’ll be backing a win. But I fear a 1-1 draw. The Lane crowd need to live up to the outstanding performance of our support at Carrow Road and dare I say it Arsenal’s mob at Reading. That is how you cheer your side on. Not by wandering around telling anyone who’ll listen how much your season ticket cost you.

I thought ade was fit, but he starts with dempsey FFS.
Picking Defoe ahead of Ade is dodgy. Picking Dempsey ahead of Ade is downright criminal.
and its bound to affect ades attitude and performance when he does finally get on.
Yeah throw I’m straight in there, gets a knock no ade for another month or so, hello…
That could happen whenever though
If he’s not fit he shouldn’t be on the bench.
C’mon dude, he ain’t better than Defoe or Adebarndoor is he!? :shifty:
Sorry, that was for Spurstacus above.
Yeah sorry. We don’t need a 1 in 2 striker. Pah we Adefoe.
*got*
Just seen the line up
:/
If there ever was a match this season to start with 2 attacking players, this is surely the one. And with attacking player i do not mean the hapless clint dempsey, whose enthusiasm to the cause – well…. Of course Adebayor should start, surely this could be a match where Gylfi could start his time with us, possibly keep Falque in there, Lloris of course, HH spot on with that one, but please, this “deuce”, thing, a nick is based on and earned from contribution, achievements and commitment, so far neither has been presented to the public, so till now the nick should rather be “the indifferent one”
Early day I know, but I think we’re heading towards ******* territory.
Yep you look to have hit it spot on, with all those ***s it really is anybodys guess, but Dempsey is looking like he will make the difference today….
Wow the mans a wilderbeast keeps picking the same team Friedegg in goals so this means he blames Lloris for Norwich loss. He wants to make it easier for Wigans defense now we have to score more than one to win.
