    That was the scre and those were the scorers when we played West Brom in the pre-season before last, hence why I have a feeling Cork may score.

    ITK man says he has heard it is the same starting line up as last week, pity, I was hoping Luke would return, things may change before kick off.

    They were rather large hailstones indeed! Was out surveying the beach at Calshot and got attacked by them earlier today. Was over Surveying at Ventnor on the Isle on Wednesday but was so misty that I didn't see much of it which was a shame.

    Oh and about the game..I think Ramirez should start in place of Davis for this one. Keep the rest the same, although preferably Shaw will be back at LB. I think we can get the win in this one but unsure of how it will pan out. We are in the better form, but West Brom are decent defensively and will sit back and stifle us. Hopefully they won't be so effective on the break as they were against us earlier in the season.

    1-3. Sorry, but it's going down to the wire and we'll need to avoid defeat v Stoke on the last day to stay up on goal average. I'm taking a positive stance and think we will.

    Fine by me. Maybe Luke is suffering from burn-out or MP has just been pretty happy with Fox recently.

    Thought Fox did well last weekend.

    Same here. Also think he has an occasional use in left midfield. Should he be around for next season..? I never like to see Saints players go, unless they've been appallingly bad, but possibly/probably not.

    Was watching a piece about the scientific side of football, mainly talking about Sam Allardyce, apparently a forerunner in this field (give him his due, I didn't know that). They mentioned that those monitors that are worn on their backs give valuable information about recovery. Perhaps Luke whilst not exactly burnt out is showing signs of fatigue because of his age. Or MP prefers Fox for the game he is playing at the moment. In the West Ham game, I thought we missed Luke because Fox doesn't get forward so much, forcing Ramirez to cover on the left more. I think we have lost a bit of the excitement, but it has been replaced by solidity at the back (though in our own inimitable style:smile:). Perhaps Mauricio has become more pragmatic and given up on gung-ho football<wah> Or perhaps Shaw will play:smile:

    Almost certainly not happening. Wigan needs three wins in five to get to 40; four of those games are against top ten teams, two in the top five. Villa needs two wins in four to get to 40, and one of their four is against Chelsea. And then the two meet on the final day of the season, a game that they obviously both cannot win. Throw in that all of Norwich, Sunderland, Stoke and Newcastle would need to gain points, and there's a very good reason why most of the bookies aren't even accepting odds on us anymore...it's an extremely remote possibility, even if we lose our four remaining games by a line of 10-0.

    I'm assuming you're joking because no one could be that negative (despite that fact that you are saying you a taking a POSITIVE stance <laugh>).
