He's not going to get in ahead of Chester, but then Chester isn't going to play every game. We have five centre backs this season, we'll have five centre backs for next season, but it will be Faye who'd replaced, not McShane. McShane will not be considered as a full back.
Just heard from a mate that they have just been to the ticket office and bought two £45.00 tickets , no queues either !. Thought only had £115 tix left ?
"do you believe that a cup run (no hindsight, please!) was more critical to our success than PL survival?" PL survival is more important but I would still put out a strong team in all first team games. Remember the context of the discussion. It was about whether fans should go even when the club wasn't making a serious effort to win matches. They may have won them this season but the last few seasons have been a disaster in the cup.
That may not be his preferred position but given we lack cover at full back I wouldn't be surprised if he plays as a full back at some stage.
You didn't seem him in the photos of the queues? Next you'll be saying you didn't see Meyler in the club offices!
Correct. I cannot wait to see how many queue overnight monday if any make ""general sale"" . Now that will be funny.
When did I suggest that McShane was primarily a full back? I love the keyboard warrior hard man image some people like to project on here. Don't forget to compare it with how you act when you are face to face with people.
He played 25 games last season, just over half of them. Considering he didn't even make his first appearance until about 10 games into the season and had two fairly bad injuries I'd consider him to be a regular. This season he's obviously not played as much, but IIRC he started the season injured, played once Chester got injured and then got injured himself at the start of February. McShane is comfortably our third choice centre back, and definitely shouldn't be singled out as being part of a 'weakened' team. Especially when James Chester was making his return from injury himself!
It's official I've done feck all today apart from mash the number into the phone and mobile, even got other people here trying as well - feel sorry for the poor lass who normally picks up the phone when you buy tickets must be proper rubbish with the phones there today for it to be constantly engaged.
Oh and while I'm here has anyone ever wondered what Macca's best playing position is? Full back, centre back?
Mcgregor and chips - £4.99 Mcshane and ice cream - £2.50 Harper and the wolf - priceless Chester - right next to wales Faye - oh ye oh ye hear me Livermore - we've run out of liver, try a meyler pie Long - aluko way to go, but were jelavic giving in Figgy - not as good as a treacle pie
