Dark Munster

Like. Maybe replace Reed with Adam and Boruc with Kelvin. Full strength for Saturday, of course.

Great idea, and at the end of the season we can celebrate with a song like this:

Premiership survival is the number 1 priority for teams like Stoke (and us!) so it would take silly money for them to sell Shawcross to us. And we tend not to want to spend silly money.

Only those who think we can't win the FA cup.

Why would Stoke want to sell Shawcross?

I'm not a big fan of Pulis but I have to say his transformation of Palace (who looked dead and buried) has been remarkable.

Bollocks. Two of Citeh, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arse will be out. The 2 remaining will have much bigger fish to fry. Oh, and has anyone mentioned Wigan?

For Sunderland, yes. Not for us.

He did have 3 assists. 2 for Stoke, and 1 for us (giving away the free kick for SRL to hammer home).

Let's win the cup first and then cross that bridge afterwards.

Its magic will be restored if we win it.

Definitely not lose against Gus's mob, FA cup should be our priority. 2 draws wouldn't be bad, Gus would hate having a replay with them still in a relegation fight.

Does that mean big Vic was taken off because of an injury, and not because he was playing crap?

No problem, next year's parachute payments from the PL will cover that. Oh ....

Carthorse or not, I'm glad he's playing 3 fewer matches. More chance SRL being picked over him for a seat to Brazil. Given half a chance, England managers do have a history of choosing carthorses (e.g Batty), and overlooking thoroughbreds (e.g. MLT).

Surprised no-one has mentioned wanting WBA to go down. They did their best to send us down. Having secured safety they lost most of the last part of the season (rolling over and giving up against a number relegation candidates), reserving their one good performance against us. So I wouldn't shed a tear if WBA (and WHam of course) go down. Normally I've nothing against Sunderland, but I'd love to see Gus go down as well.

This. Fulham may have been knackered in the last 10-15 minutes, but the transformation happened the moment Cork came on.

Hopefully Cork and Clyne will start this time.

Exactly. They should have been Mawhinneyed, and now lying at least 7 points adrift of safety. Anyway, there's a chance they'll go down without the FL's help, and maybe start life in the sKrill league next year on minus-a-lot (and with parachute payments disappearing in the rear view mirror). Nutjob heaven, and the 100,000 milestone a formality.

Assuming the DFCSBs stay up this year.

Better than webbed!

You usually are.

And therein lies the rub.
