Daily Star also reporting that we'll finish 8th... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/357395/A-predicted-Prem-table-Liverpool-champions-Chelsea-second-Arsenal-third-Man-Utd-sixth

I'm with Peter O'Toole when it comes to keeping fit... "The only exercise I take is walking behind the coffins of friends who took exercise"

Congratulations. Slightly surprised that they managed to squeeze in a wedding between two games that are only 4 days apart though.

Depends. With games coming thick and fast, playing someone at 80% might mean they aren't 100% for the next game. I guess its debate able whether playing Shaw at 80% for two games in the trot is better than resting him for one game then having him at nearer 100% for the 2nd game. Without knowing the precise nature of his illness it's difficult to judge from the confines of an internet football forum.

There's a difference between being physically able to play and it being sensible to do so if under the weather with a throat infection. IMO of course.

Cheerio

No.

Ok.

I'm rushing down to the bookies as we speak. P.s. Splendid update to your post. I don't think anyone will notice you didn't think of that amusing refrain straight away

Only another 4 defeats in a row to go then...

Another plaudit to Saint86 from me too.

We believe you...

Brilliant

Yes you can...

Ah....take back what I just said if that's true

This. Would love to see Ramirez and Osvaldo given a run in the team together. Can see them clicking together.

...

I don't recall the club explicitly putting a timeframe on "european qualification".... yes, the players or manager will always answer "Why not?" when a journo asks them if we can qualify for Europe this year but that's just a neutral / non-committal answer and simply shows how positive the mindset of the players and manager is.
