    Well I've just heard tonight that Wenger has said in some interview, or club website, that he's given 8 first team players a break until next Monday, so we can expect a very weakened opposition on Saturday.

    That's just the sad reality of the value of the FA Cup these days. It's been diminished by the increasing importance of staying in the PL.

    It's not right. It's not wrong. It's just the way it is.

    Hopefully he'll play 11 instead of 9! He won't though because the two games immediately after the FA Cup are much bigger to SAFC as a football club and a business - he's even said he wouldn't be able to play his first choice team in the cup simply due to the 2 fixtures immediately after

    Hello mate, sorry I missed this, not getting on like I used to. I flew over December 12th. Had a great Christmas with the in-laws. Then went camping in the bush (slightly less barren/dangerous than the outback).

    Just moved into a flat in a beautiful area called Collingwood. Good food and drink. Now just need my work situation sorting out. But that should be fine as of next week by the looks of it. Collingwood's Aussie rules team play in black and white and are affectionately know as the magpies... To everyone else they're know as toothless bogans (hillbilly types).

    Amazing place. It was the right move for me. Even if it is 42°c today with a hot wind that dries your eyeballs out in seconds. I'm stopping in today decorate one of my walls with framed LPs. The missus is going to come home and think we live in the cavern club.

    Hope all is well with you.

    Oh ****, I didn't even know you'd gone mate! Hope the job situation works out spot on for you. Glad you're enjoying it and hope it gets even better. Me? - Getting a lot better. I can now walk as far as the local Co-op and post office, which is great because I'm no longer reliant on others just to eat, etc. It's all good. Take care, mate..

    Amongst many others matey. Marley only made it up there as my missus likes him and I couldn't find a ninth on a 42 degree day so just whacked him up as a place holder.
