I was thinking I would start Hart, just for confidence, and play Heaton for the Second half. I wouldn't play Kane. Sterling and Rooney have started the season well. Lallana I'd probably play. I'd want to have Drinkwater from the start, don't know who for. Maybe Henderson. I dn't know who I would start instead of Kane...Maybe Vardy.

Would be unusual to change the keeper in a qualifier, that's usually done in friendlies!

Oh yea, I was thinking in a friendly. You have to play Hart out of the 3 keepers.

I'd be stunned if Drinkwater misses out on a start again. He's started the season really well again.
 
Talking about Luton on Soccer Saturday. Dowie just said "I really like the lad Cameron McGeehan, I think he's a really good player"

*Sigh*
 
What a fu**ing surprise. We never got any decision ever in any season in the Prem. We always said "what are they doing!? Are there scared to give for the "small teams"

Looks like it wasn't hysteria. I think a lot of us knew it was all fixed.

Come now this is Luton! Are you seriously suggesting that someone still playing for Luton would be in contention for our 1st team? Or be on his way to a big bucks move? He's good for Luton because he's good at that level, I'd be surprised if he ever plays higher than championship.

Bah!

I just saw it mentioned on facebook and with a completely straight face :emoticon-0112-wonde suggested that last season should be replayed in it's entirety - Premier League, here we come - for the third time in four seasons!

Nope, but another youth teamer who looks a decent player who we released for free. Teams like Ipswich and Leeds get money for their youth team players. In fact the teams who pick up our academy players on a free, then get money for our youth team players!

Just a thought but I believe if a player moves on a free transfer, they get a decent signing on fee, perhaps this is our clubs way of saying thank you for your time with us, sorry you're not going to break into the first team squad so here, have a sign on fee from your new club!
 
I see the PGMOL have denied Mark Halsey's claim but why on earth would he make such a thing up?

I suppose with the amount of money floating about, this was bound to happen!
Like when Sepp Blatter denied everything... Sadly I can see this being true, but maybe some good will come out of it.
