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(Richardson - 85' ) 07 Lambert 09 Rodriguez In bold are the players that won't be starting on Saturday, having all been replaced by better, or simply standing in for injuries at the time.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.

Decent until it said Lallana had pace!

If we can get back the majority of what we paid for him and invest it in an attacking player more suited to our system and the league, I'd be more than happy to see him go.

I'm. It sure you understand the definition of 'theft'.

Confetti FFS?

Great goal!

As Pep Guardiola once said of Pochettino's Espanyol side: '"There are teams that wait for you and teams that look for you: Espanyol look for you'. If we wait for United, we will get beaten. If we go looking for them, press them high, chase every ball and don't give them a moment's rest on the ball, we have a great chance at getting a result.

Was hilarious when Wanyama was rolling around in the corner on his own as Swansea stormed forward into our half.

I'm amazed that people haven't been impressed, though not surprised if you've only seen him on TV. Personally I think he's been decent and will only get better. I don't think he's great at running at players, but is good around the box.

Tommy Forecast trained with us everyday for about 5 years...

Just think, we'd need to finish above Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man United, Liverpool or Spurs to get top 6. Then you have the likes of Everton and Swansea to top if you want top 8.

He didn't start in either of our league wins?

Perhaps should have been more specific. I don't care if it's striped or not. I would obviously care if it was not red.

I don't really care about the shirt colour tbh. Last couple of seasons I have started off disliking it then ended up just getting used to it anyway. Same club, same badge, same players regardless of shirt colour.

Surely the fact that it was at St. James' park was quite significant to this result? Not quite sure why he has 3-0 instead of 0-3.
