I think it indicates that Hodgson/Neville see all three players as part of their plans going forward and this is a chance to get them used to the experience (whilst providing cover) so that when they do get game time they're not overwhelmed by it all.

Great news.

Not sure my computer would be able to cope with that many leagues on a network game in all honesty. Definitely interested though, if enough people wanted to we could do a game all starting in the conference or something?

If you can find a cheap weekly venue for all 8667 of us, then that's a goer.

The difference being that the spiderman theme tune would sound ridiculous.

You don't have to buy a kit though, do you. I'm still wearing the sash one on a matchday.

Dynamic leagues and being able to add/remove leagues mid game was a pretty big addition to the last one.

At least it wasn't the worst penalty of the night...

Bournemouth players all got their arms round each other, Barnard stood on the end left out. Doesn't seem like he's fitting in.

Get in there Bompey!

Can't see anything about pass completion there? I reckon we'd be pretty high on that as well.

3-2 loss is the new 3-1 win.

I can't picture what part of the song the "na na na"s fit into?

I'm not saying go 4-4-2 again. I'm saying the other 2 CM would sit a lot deeper and not go forward as often.

The more I think about it, the most it sounds like it would be a stroke of genius. Schneiderlin/Davis/Cork/Ward-prowse rotating in the deeper midfield roles to do all the running work, with Del Piero playing almost a trequartista role and playing the passes for the wingers and centre forward. Also, the more I think about it the more it sounds like a crazy dream that I'll wake up from and feel gutted that it wasn't reality.

Dare I say, Barnard and Forecast?

We'd be amazing playing 5-a-side "FIFA street" style.

There is a massive gulf in quality between those two, although I get what point you're trying to make.

I think they will give us till the january window and see how things are going then. Unlike in '05 when we were full of unprofessional mercenaries, these players have proven their loyalty and commitment to the cause. However this is all just speculation until we find out if we're actually relegated or not. I'm still confident of staying up.

Pardew always talked in interviews about building a team from the back. Alpine is right on this one.

I'd wager that most of them didn't.

I think we'd play him at the tip of the midfield 3 rather than up front.

Aside from Ramirez I honestly don't think we'd lose anybody we didn't want to.

Boruc is the only one that might be a good move for us, but I'd like to see Gazzaniga given a chance.
