dan abnormal

Oh, I suppose Dawson being available is actually a good thing. He has been very poor when I have watched Spurs play this season. I think the physical presence of Wanyama will be missed against Sandro and Dembele.

Gazza Chambers Fonte Lovren Shaw Cork Morgan Lallana Davis Jrod Osvaldo Have a good feeling about this one. Alot of their defence is either injured or suspended. Vertonghen, Dawson, Rose, Chiriches could all be missing

Very good point against an inform team. This game showed how important Wanyama is to the team, we looked alot easier to play through without him

He's currently releasing stuff under the name "blood orange" key influences seem to be anything from the 1980's. I also remember reading he had surgery on his throat explaining his change in voice. His new album , 'Cupid Deluxe' is nice but fairly repetitive and boring. Seems to be leaning to hard on nostalgia imo His early band 'Test - icicles' were certainly interesting.... On a separate note,I just found out Amazon mp3 have all of Pavement's albums priced at £2.99 each and am currently reliving the best band of the 90's.

Osvaldo should start vs Newcastle. Would be madness to drop him after the confidence boost of 2 goals in 2 games. He is only going to be able to prove himself with an extended run in his preferred position rather than constantly in and out of the team.

I actually think the best part was having 5 academy products on the pitch today and none of them looked out of their depth. Chambers and Shaw were both very good imo

Outstanding performance. MP made some mistakes vs Villa but got it spot on today. I thought Davis and Cork were superb. Perhaps the squad isn't as weak as we thought.

Considering the amount of injuries we have that is still a decent team.

The new Arcade Fire effort has reminded me of how much I love this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmpj2QiYIl8

Got mugged, a few good counters mixed with some poor defending. We created chances but lacked urgency. Cork and Yoshida both looked very rusty. We're still 8th after 3 consecutive losses so a little perspective is needed imo

OSVALDO! get in

Lovren will have Benteke in his pocket all afternoon. Don't fancy our chances if Boruc isn't fit. The only change I would make is Lambert back in.

He wasn't very good but was no worse than Lambert vs Arsenal. I thought Lallana had a shocker today and was just as bad as Osvaldo today, the whole front 4 looked ineffective.

Paul Merson got it spot on when he said "how you ever gonna score a goal up front with Townsend playing? When's he ever gonna give you the ball?" All he ever does is cut inside and shoot.

woops. In fairness it is easy to misinterpret over the internet. Wanyama been excellent, he is so, so good at his best. Jay has also been very bright. I think Dani will be on fairly quickly into the 2nd half, SRL has struggled.

Did you say the same when we were 2-0 down at Stamford bridge last season. ffs

:lol:

Walker looks awful, has been for a good while.

England and Hodgson are lacking identity. England need a modern, exciting coach like the Chilean coach who isn't afraid of anyone and takes the game to the opposition.We might not have the best squad in the world but as saints are currently showing, a well drilled team of confident players who know their role and believe in the system they play can play better than the sum of their parts. Hodgson is a good coach but I dont think he is good enough to beat the top international sides.

He was excellent, but he is going to be able to press a side so quick and effective in possession as Arsenal as effectively as Osvaldo? I just think that away to Arsenal who are going to dominate possession for the majority of the game MP might prefer Osvaldo. He did at OT and I wouldn't be surprised to see him start in place of Lambert at the Emirates. I wouldn't drop Lambert and would go for an unchanged team.

Lambert looked absolutely knackered on Saturday, I think Osvaldo may start. Other than that the same team as Hull. Should be a good game. If Wanyama and Morgan play well I think we have a real chance, they are both going to be vital.

Its a shame Walcott and AOC aren't fit. Would have been excellent to see a front 4 out of Lambert, Lallana, Jrod,AOC and Walcott representing England. Even if they aren't here anymore, 3 academy products and Lambert would be quite something.

Best I have ever seen Lallana play, have got to say I thought Clyne was absolutely brilliant yet again. Must be as good as Walker and Johnson now in the eyes of Hodgson. We have the best fullback pairing in the league.

Lol. People can't deal with an opinion different to theirs. Reckon this will difficult. 1-0 win with Clyne to score

Yeah, don't know what he has done other than 1 good goal and a lot of running around
