Oi Alfie boy, long time no hear! How goes it son? What d'ya reckon for tomorrow then? I'd say you'll be expecting maximum points what with home advantage and form etc. We need to get sumfink or we'll be in danger of getting cut adrift.
Alf, have you made it over safe from the other side (old Site)? I hope I find you well, my old friend. Happy New Year to you. Tell me, what's the deal with this Zarate chap? He any good?
He is ok. Some nice dribbling and a good shot. Attitude seems questionable. Not the type you'd want for a relegation dogfight I'd imagine.
fairly good on the ball, extremely lazy off it, he had a good game against Palace when they were absolutely appalling and is used by the Sam-out brigade as proving he doesn't like flair players but it's like the Morrison situation, Allardyce doesn't like up-their-own-arse lazy players. Harry might be able to get something out of him, I can't really tell if he's going to be better or worse than Taarabt
