Harry Redknapp confirmed that William Gallas is injured again in his post-match interview, after our win against Wigan.
No real idea how long he's going to be out for, as the manager said that he "did a calf", whatever that means.

We'll probably see Kaboul and Bassong pairing up again for the Shamrock Rovers game on Thursday, but we're looking pretty thin at the back at the moment.
 
I think the difference between our PAYP deal and Stoke's (well played today btw) is that he knew he would get game time at Stoke but didn't feel the same that he would with us.

At Stoke he has an incentive to play ......

It's been reported that Harry wanted to keep Woodgate AND that Woodgate wanted to stay with Spurs.

This idea that Woodgate refused to sign with us doesn't seem true.

"The club" saw him as a risk and took a stance.
 
Shamrock is a tricky issue. On the whole I'd prefer Kaboul was rested, but I do want us to win the EL, and a lot will depend I guess on what other alternatives we have. I think Livermore can play in defence, and we have other mids to replace him for Thursday. Maybe Pienaar wil be back, maybe he can play RB and Corluka CB.

Perhaps Niko and Lennon may augment our mid options. Lots of ifs and buts, just hope we can scrape past Shamrock without using our 'Arsenal team' at all.
