I'm a little worried about Richards at CB...I hope he steps his game up

Who would you rather have mate?

Someone get this man a pint

[Kyle]

I'm surprised that Stevie is on the bench, he didn't travel anywhere for the qualifiers like everyone else did. Although him coming on when the defense is tired could be fun to watch...

Given is captain today.

Never a fan of the keeper as captain, should have given it to Shauny.

Shauny?????
You might as well give it to Petrov, as Shauny! lol

[blues-clues]

Our bench would make an awesome squad for a 5-a side competition! Skills and pace to burn. Weiss, Johnson and Ireland playing behind RSC. SO many options to change things around if it isn't working. We look thin in defence but we must fancy our chances to score a few against a team that is trying to set up like Arsenal but isn't as good just yet.

Name another player more committed to the cause than him.

Nice as it would be to see Weiss, I hope we winning comfortably enough going into the last 30 to give Johnson, Ireland and Kompany a run-out.

Just a quick thought, is anyone using this thread for match updates today?

Shay is the best of the current lineup, but if you need an outfield player, then Barry

[petrov]

any streams?

Anyone got a working Sopcast?

Agree, Barry would be my choice.

[Slim]

Barry's a good shout for captain actually.

When did the JJB become the DW stadium?

I'm listening to this one on the wireless and it sounds extremely windy!
