Saint Garrett

Maybe Davis will start? Lallana and JRod either side Lambert up top?

Sounds good mate cheers. Any advice on getting from new street to WBA? Bus/taxi?

Cheers for that, great watch. Better than the 2 min coverage we get here!

I vote the Bear

Can't imagine that is right. If we had a £17m bid accepted (but personal terms were rejected) I'd be surprised if we then went back with £8m...

Where is everyone heading then? Me + 1 arrive in Brum around 11:45 and not done WBA before.

Come on Pablo!!!! Join the project!

Must be fighting with Hooiveld for that title then!

What a retarded post. He had a great season at the level when he was signed.

Yep I agree. Cork and Morgan coming together was hugely important to us last year, surprised how many people don't seem to appreciate how well Cork did last season.

Still surprised there has been literally no mention of Hammond anywhere. Almost disappeared of the face of the earth. Deserves a decent club IMO. Great captain and could do a job for a mid table NPC team.

Didn't realise that was Thursday. How ridiculous.

Boruc; Clyne Lovren Yoshi Fox; Morgan Wanyama; JRod Gaston Lallana; Lambert.

Kyle Naughton loan?

Sterling is an odd one. Barely played in the back end of the season for Liverpool, and we have plenty of other players who can play that position, Welbeck, theo, chambo, young (dare I say Milner?) I have nothing wrong with Hodgson just picking players who are playing regularly, but it ****es me off when he picks man city/Utd/Chelsea/Liverpool reserves over players who have been first choice. Hell, it may stop players like Scott Sinclair moving to the top clubs so early in their career.

Chelsea in for Eto'o as well,

Think Man City's edges it for me. Toure and Fernandinho have got everything.

Good work, good read full of good factual informations. Thanks for your efforts, they're appreciated. Would be cool to have 2 pre match previews, one from you and one from the Bear!

Agree Scholes was immense, better than Gerrard and Lampard.

Fair enough, feels like more than that.

Probably not far off. Would like to see Isgrove given a start though, maybe Seager on the bench?

Would be interested to see how many pens he's scored last few seasons and who he's scored against.

Yeah but our CM is better than Utd's....see the OP

I think generally Chelsea carry him in games. I don't see him as a "behind the striker" midfielder, he's not the same as Ramirez, as he's not skilful enough, and not defensive enough to play on the "two". Lets not forget an awful lot of those goals are penalties as well. He wouldn't have anywhere near as impressive goal scoring record from midfield if you took them away.

Fair enough...agree to disagree!
