No Harry Reed in yesterday's game. Injured?

Indeed. All of which means that it's almost impossible to tell the difference between a genuine ITK and a 'clever' pretend ITK...

It's a 0.25 for me

Quite a few biting on the bait too.

Posted in the pre-match thread that I was surprised Hojbjerg didn't start as he was one of our best players pre-season. Felt he made the difference in the second half. Still more optimistic than pessimistic about the season. COYR!

How the **** did we not score there?! COYR!

Only surprise for me there is Hojbjerg not in the starting 11. Been one of our best players in pre-season IMO

Last season we finished 3 points shy of a top 4 finish. Just an observation...

This. If EBS and Guan are talking about the same player then Hernandez is too well known to fit both their clues.

Isn't that worse? You'll be under the thumb by Sunday....

Does that suggest that things have changed since you posted the following a week ago?

Does "shortly" = minutes, hours or days? Cheers

Phew... I thought there were about to announce the return of Tadanari Lee there for a brief moment....

Good list of candidates but a reminder of what EBS1980 said on Sunday: So, I think we can eliminate the more well known players from the list, i.e. the likes of Berahino, Depay, Januzaj and Oxlade-Chamberlain, for example.

I think he understands the gist of the questions but is just checking out any nuances with the translator to avoid any potential misinterpretations. Wise move IMO.

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Puel will make a decision on Cedric & Fonte tomorrow & has to consider their physical well-being after such a short break #saintsfc

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Claude Puel just told me there is no problem with Jose Fonte & any decision on playing him will be all about fitness not contract #saintsfc

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport #saintsfc team news: Ryan Bertrand ruled out with knee problem but not long-term, may be ok for United game

No sign of the new Everton manager in this article... http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11662/10530566/the-premier-leagues-star-managers-head-to-head-records Surely some mistake?

Before or after the tickets arrived...?

Guan.... Do any of these earlobes match those of the player(s) we are targeting?

Perhaps they were referring to Vale Park, the home of Wembley FC...?
