Never heard o' this guy. Has he done PL or is he just Championship? Hope he's as good as Jonesy, and he's bulled up on Law 11 Offsides!

He's a family friend of one of my best mates, this is his first year doing some refereeing in the prem.

Tell him second yellows exist and we don't want anyone doing a Yangwe-Mbiya

Couldn't quite make out what Manuel said on the PC about injuries for tonight. He said at the end of Part 2 that Jovetic and Rodwell are definitely out but in Part 1 he also said Yaya and one other player were carrying knocks and wouldn't be in the squad - around 2' 48" - was it Jovetic?

We know for sure Pants will be in goal. The rest is again anyones guess. Back in the 70-ies it was much easier to predict the starting line-up:
Corrigan-Donachie-Watson-Doyle-Kennedy-Owen-Hartford-Power-Tuaert-Kidd-Barnes.

Anyway, Pellegrini saying the right words: We need to have the mentality to try and win every competition we are in.
Some games look easy, but I feel we still need to put out a team that can win the game and, as a bonus, entertain the ones who took the trouble to go and wattch it.

We should be ok for this one. No extra time please. Credit to Blackburn for getting a replay they deserve, but we shoukd now professionally knock them out of the FA cup.<br /><br />-- Wed Jan 15, 2014 11:36 am --<br /><br />

Think he said Silva.
My guess is no Nasri, Silva, Yaya, Jovetic and Rodwell. That's about it I think?

It was Silva, he's out for tonight but hopeful for the weekend.

Should be a good match.

If you mean by way of being a contest, I hope not :)

No way we will fuck this up at home. Dzeko hat trick. OG by lescott. Garcia booed by halftime. One of them will happen
