There's no break for the next round of the FA Cup it would mean league games being put back into midweek again. It's bad enough already that there are internationals in mid-week soon and we'll no doubt have 6 or 7 lads on parade for those. You can only expect so much from your players, especially as a number of them will be hoping to go to Brazil in June as well. Jeez do you people not see the reason for the recent decline in Arsenal and even Citeh's performances, the WC is already influencing the comportment of some players. As we approach the end of the season you'll see more and more substandard games from players you'd expect better from. Only the other day Suarez was going on about how he's playing scared that he might pick up an injury that will stop him going to Brazil.

Not really, Adam looked dead beat after 20' and didn't look himself at all, mind you with Lambert and Guly doing absolutely nothing he was ploughing a lone furrow. We had a toughy on Tuesday after a toughy last Saturday, we just don't have the players necessary to handle 3 toughies with long voyages between 2 of them, that's what I've been telling you all most of the week. the chairwoman needs to sort it out as Cortese would have done. It's no use having a bean counter and a rank amateur running a PL football club.

I think Bordeaux got fined for doing that actually.

Meaning that the missing elements weren't available then; Makes sense Morgan,Jay and Jack looked dead beat at the end on Tuesday and Jose's leg looks wicked. Just leaves that old f@rt of a keeper, there there something not quite right.

We have an excellent chance of finishing 7th actually.

Probably doesn't care anyway, he'll as likely as not not be here next season. It will just take the sale of one first teamer and he'll be off. Don't think he was very happy about Osvaldo being given away and no replacement being signed.

They have decent replacements though don't they, I mean wouldn't it be handy to have Larsson and Wickham in reserve and a couple of those Italian fellas as well? Our squad is far too weak, we've been cost cutting of late and it's left us with nothing. Never mind you get 15 minutes extra free parking though don't youy and Franny and Matty can get in free.

I really don't know what you all expected, we have a team and a couple of adequate replacements, all the rest is U21 level or substandard junk. Don't blame the players for that, blame whoever is in charge of recruitment policy, be it the manager, the "head of recruitment" or the person now masquerading as chairperson. We should never have let Osvaldo go without an adequate replacement because Lambert is finished.

We need to take Wanyama and the utterly useless JWP off and put Jack and Morgan on. They are the basis of our side, everything comes from them.

Anyway with the TV money at 247500£ per side for this game it's like selling about 30000 tickets at 15£ anyway.

Boruc doesn't do cup matches, he doesn't do the bench and we have to give the old fool a game from time to time, probably some sort of wierdo labour law or other.

We might well win but to me their side looks better position for position than ours, I'm afraid that Giaccherini and Borini will be far too good for Jos.

Who was saying that...oh right the FA Cup before everything,we'll win because we're better than them dreamers, the great and wise said we'd not put out our strongest team for this game because many players looked absolutely shattered after the win at Hull. I really do wonder if some people actually take note of what they see when watching games because it was obvious at the end of Tuesday's game that some of our regulars would be in no state to start today and so it transpires..

Isgrove played for the U21 last night against West Ham..they lost.

Not even 25, just now we have a squad of 14 fit senior pros (including 2 keepers) and 3 or 4 good young players. When a couple of the regulars are knackered or get knocks we're scrapng the barrel. Still perhaps we'll have Gaston and Dejan available again next week but I feel we've really let the squad become far too small.

Just like I said, Morgan and Jack were both looking dead at the end of Tuesday's game and Morgan was hobbling. Too many games, too few players. Might turn out alright but we'll be lacking their drive and composure .

because they weren't televised anywhere in the world. this game is certainluy on BT Sports and BeIN sports so there will be the feeds on which streams depend.

I'm still reserving judgement until I see the teams.

Don't they have Curbishley there looking after the recruitment ? He obviously didn't rate Meulenstein, and correctly so. The bloke has no management experience apart from being SAF's boot boy (happened exactly the same with Queiroz) and his time at Fulham was a disaster. Assistants manage feck all at Utd, well apart from making the tea and booking golf courses that is. Man U was a one man band under SAF and since he's been gone we've seen that there's no other team managemnt structure left behind.

Three managers in a season rarely ends well. He'll find that the PL is far more complex than the Bundesliga, no bad sides in the PL, well except for Fulham that is.

In fact she could probably sell the component parts for more than the club. Anyway the player Citeh are lining up is Matuidi from PSG, out of contract in June and it will only take a 10 million £ signing bonus to obtain his services. Why pay 15 million to another club when you can pay 10 million direct to the horse.

Yes you'd go past Moulins if you were on the N7, you go round it if you follow the signs but in fact it's far quicker to ignore them and go through the centre, it's just a one horse town really and you can fuel up at Leclerc on the way out. Football in France outside the epicentres like Lyon,Marseille and Paris is slowly dying a death because well not to put too fine a point on it you might as well go and watch a match in Mali or Burkina Faso. Crowds are ridiculously low and it's only public money that keeps most clubs afloat. The Championship is a one horse race and all but 2 of the French national starting X1 play outside France, it's about money and there isn't any in France just now.

They are but as they have to pay 50 million euros a season to be allowed to play in the French League they'll not keep anyone who they consider surplus to requirements as they'll be spending a fortune on mega stars again for the upcoming CL campaign..

Moulins is about 80 miles up the road from here, I've even been there recently, they really aren't very good and yet they beat Toulouse. I've not seen anything of Pompey lately but they can't be much worse than Moulins who'd be about what conference level really. Being 12th in Ligue 1 means nothing at all when you take into account how bad sides like Sochaux,Ajaccio and Valenciennes really are. They'd not survive in the Championship.
