Particularly when you consider they could have got Wanyama for less than half that.

Those who've been away on international duty may tire quicker.

Think it depends how far out it is. Would still want Rickie on some of the further out ones.

Better sort out who's marking Mertesacker at corners.

As good as we were against Hull, I can't help feeling our best chance of a goal is from a set piece. Morgan and Victor are so key. We need to keep the ball at every opportunity.

The bloke tweeting him really just needs to point out current differences to win this argument. Not least the difference in chairmen.

Where are they in the league now? Don't know if the BBC table is updated.

Yup. That's why he's in the England squad.

Stoke's penalty

No fear. Lose to Arsenal and beat Chelsea would do. Let Arsenal have 1st and we'll take 2nd.

Watched the Stoke game in there. Streams are good quality, but the locals are ermmm interesting.

I reckon it's probably fair to say that is draw is a good result IF we beat Hull.

Decent point. Wanyama was immense. Lallana was good first half but quieter in the second. Wasn't sure about taking Jrod off for Gaston and didn't feel Gaston did much to impress. Needs to learn to do the simple thing, particularly when on the halfway line.

Does the Dorchester play every game? Is it busy? And what's the quality like? (I won't have any children with me)

Definitely, I wouldn't want to make that call. Chances are when he sits down and draws up the team he thinks is most likely to win this game, it's the same as the one that beat Fulham anyway.

That's good. Even if they don't come in to the starting line-up, our bench will look significantly stronger. Saying that, I don't think MP will choose a team just because it played well in the last game. He'll pick the team he thinks will win this game.

I somehow don't think we could justify an emergency loan with KD and PG sat on the bench/in the stand. As much as having one of them in goal is most definitely an emergency.

Here's our team from the 3-3 there last year: 01 K Davis 03 Yoshida 05 Hooiveld 06 Fonte 23 Shaw (Fox - 82' ) 04 Schneiderlin 18 Cork 21 Guly 42 Puncheon (Richardson - 85' ) 07 Lambert 09 Rodriguez In bold are the players that won't be starting on Saturday, having all been replaced by better, or simply standing in for injuries at the time. The most significant are probably Boruc, Lovren and Clyne.

Has it spined yet?

Was it not Crouch's money that kept us going when were in admin?

Only negative today: empty seats. Embarrassing to see on MOTD.

The passing stats make impressive reading. Fonte tops the accuracy with 94% having completed 75 out of 80 attempted.

Would be confident(ish) if we made it to half time at 0-0.
