SuperSAINT

Sturridge & Henderson both came on so I imagine both will feature on weds.

Liverpool 1-0 Swansea (Milneymar Pen)

Wonder if they'll go for a starting XI as weak as in the last round? - Bogdan - Randall - Touré - Lovren - Clyne - Brannagan - Allen - Ibe - Firmino - Teixeira - Origi

Will be very tough. I knew they'd be much stronger than they were when the draw was made & they've smashed both Chelsea & City away. Their pressing will cause us problems - The saving grace for us might be the number of games they've had lately, but we shall see. Ron has said Fonte should be OK.

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport #saintsfc skipper Jose Fonte will be ok for @CapitalOne_Cup Q-F v Villa - has a cut knee. Cedric was dropped from squad today, not injured

Ugh. Was worried about the team when I saw it & then basically handed them the first 20 minutes and 2 goals. Any news on Jose yet?

MK Dons are in the championship. But your point is valid - I think he should go to a league 1 team.

TBF, Mane did do that sick back-heel to Bertrand on his debut against QPR though

A strange move for him? (Great for his bank balance though).

I was just confirming what you said mate. I wasn't "MLG'ing" you

sportingintelligence ‏@sportingintel Man City PL goals conceded this season with Kompany on pitch (720 mins): 1. Man City PL goals conceded, Kompany NOT on pitch (405 mins): 11. ^ This was posted at some point during the City/Liverpool game yesterday, so the number conceded with Kompany NOT on the pitch might be even worse.

The old Ossie Ardiles Spurs formation from '94/95?!

Silva & Kompany being back is a huge boost for them. If Bony partners Aguero, I'm thinking Ronald will go 5-3-2.

Too early for a build-up thread? I had a look at physioroom.com and they seem to indicate Bony, Silva AND Kompany should be back for the weekend Man City playing Juventus on Wednesday evening too.

We were, and probably the previous 3 or 4 summers before it. A bit like Nathan Redmond.

Yeah, thought it sounded familiar. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11715/8008814/holloway-unsure-over-phillips

Swindon would probably take him back in a heartbeat at the moment.

Long on the bench for Rep. Ireland tonight.

Stoke have picked up recently. 4 clean sheets from their last 5 league games. Shawcross is back & Shaqiri starting to look impressive. Will be a tough game but one we can win. Hope we have less of a hangover from the International break than we did when we played Leicester though. Fingers-crossed Virgil's knee is OK.

Ah, crap.
