I would imagine a few people will have made a late decision to go on the basis of the line-up. Cue queues. Vin
Looks good, a strong squad which should do well. I don't know anything about Burnley; have they fielded a strong squad? I know their manager said that he would, but then they always do. (Never heard of a manager say "well, we will be fielding the kids because frankly this competition is a but rubbish and our opposition is lame..) I really wish that I could go today but the dreaded lurgy has got me. Feeling thoroughly grotty.
Pleased with team. The draw at Blackburn shows that we mustn't get overconfident. A good Championship team is strong opposition.
Shaw's playing? But what about him being cup-tied for when we sell him in a few weeks time! Quick, someone tell the DailyMail
