    Will that affect the London trains ACS? Tom and others have just left London on the Aberdeen service.

    Is there a shuttle service for passengers travelling from further down the line?

    I would think so if they are stopping in Darlo.

    I have been mulling over the Tiote issue. If we'd had a longer break since Metalist, I'd go Anita. He has played better than Tiote. However I think we need to freshen up as many as possible to avoid the usual hangover. Southamptons monster 15 day break has to be a concern. That is golden in modern PL terms for prep for one game. They'll be very fresh too, gonna be a tricky day. I think we, the fans, have a job to do today. Saylor for the opener, only threat we have on dead balls!

    I want to agree but I feel that Anita would be the better person against Southampton. If anything Tiote should replace Cabaye (just back from injury) or Sissoko who have both played all games (unlike Anita) if it was to freshen up. However, I am for playing our best team and that is with Anita and without Tiote.

    I know what you mean, I'm just concerned he looked the most paggered when he trudged off near the end the other night. Put one hell of a shift in. Of course Tiote being ill is a factor. Depending on the type of illness, that can have lingering effects.

    All I can say is that it makes a nice change being able to discuss quality players who should be playing rather than settling for a Guthrie or a Gosling. I see Anita as a terrier and yes he will be knackered after a game but thats the nature of a terrier, can run all day, sleep and then next day keep on running. I'm more concerned over Cabaye though, who has had a few niggly injuries and also looks knackered every game and the fact we have no replacement. Unless we play Tiote, Anita and Sissoko but I think that would only work if we had Ben Arfa playing.

    Agree or drop Marveaux in front of Sissoko and Anita/Tiote. Or play a diamond with Anita left, Sissoko right, Cheik sitting and Marv at the head. As you say we now the options to mix it up!
