    Unless I've missed it, Nigel hasn't said who our captain is this season. Hammond won't feature as much this season. I note that Steve Davis gave a long press conference on Player. Most likely candidate?

    Can't see any immediate changes happening whilst Hammond remains in the squad. So think Fonte will have the arm band today.

    I'm still assuming Hammond as there has been no confirmation otherwise

    Well K Davis remains club captain. S Davis may be a candidate for on field captain, perhaps Fonte is as well.

    I would expect Jose Fonte to lead us out today.

    Jos had the armband when Dean and Jose were both absent.

    No arguments from me if it is Davis.

    Sky Sports News are saying Rickie Lambert has been given the armband.

    Eh? Where's that come from? Don't like strikers given the armband.

    They said it earlier, and it's also in the interview he did for their site.

    We'll find out in 5 hours. Getting excited now with a tad of nerves that any football match brings, let alone Man City away in the first game back in the PL.

    He must have won the "guess the coin flip" competition.

    I hope he does play deeper, won't be so effective up top today

    I have been saying all summer that he will play a much deeper role for us.

    Only if your surname is Davis can you be captain. :p

    Adam Lallana is captain today - confirmed. Really pleased at that decision, he is our longest serving player, and a real credit to the club in that he has never jumped ship, despite numerous alleged opportunities when we were in administration.
