    If Colo is back from Argentina he should be straight back in. Iron Mike and Colo best CB pairing. LDJ looks as if he is settling in.

    If Coloccini is back, Coloccini will play. He's purple, for crying out loud, it's in his purple contract. Team, as usual, picks itself and - with a bit of luck and some horrendous opposition misses/defending/overall play - will win by itself. Not even worth speculating who's going to play.

    Will be interesting, I suppose, to see what happens when Santon is available. He's purple and Dummett's more of a pink-ish colour. But we haven't got to worry about that for a fortnight.

    Dummett and Santon are both having a purple patch, hopefully it'll continue throughout the season.

    I think Santon is more of a green i.e. his performances and attempts at defending have made me feel sick

    Got my ticket for the game and just booked the travel.

    Setting off at an unearthly hour.

    May as well not go to bed and just try to catch some shut eye on the coach.

    Would you try Santon on the left ahead of Gouffran? Or do you think Santon's just never going to cut it?

    I'm sure he'll get his act together soon.

    I think he'd be on the bench for the forseeable as cover to Gouff and Sissoko. If you'd asked me after Gouff's travesty of a performance against Villa, I'd probably have said yes. To be fair though although I was never really convinced with Gouff, he has had a good season. Chipped in with a handy number of goals. I think Santon would make a good utility player though I doubt he'd be happy with that role. I think the lad has talent but is not good enough at defending/positional sense to be a full back, or productive enough from crosses/shooting to be a wide player.

    Maybe try him in nets, can't be any worse than Eliott. <ok>

    Ouch, a bit cruel on both Elliott and Santon.

    After this year you might not get a chance to break your duck for a while as they'll probably be playing in a different league next year
