bizzbo said:seriously tho, the boys are crackered after two games in three days, saturday's game is only 5 days after that, then 4 days later we'd start a 4 game in 14 days sequence.
the fa cup is a lottery, middlesborough are fielding a weakened team (two 16 year-olds up front), the semi's are a shot at our first silverware in *mumblemumble* years and a chance to get one over the neighbours, and the league is the top priority.
he will field an extremely weakened team, partly because of all the injuries. surely no more than five first pick players. Kompany is so important at the moment, I wouldn't use him... unless we had a new centrehalf in the squad by that time. and even then, I'd use that guy instead!
Just heard Strachans press conference saying he wouldn't play the two academy kids up front.
