Mass played at Craven Cottage. He gave his Aus shirt to R fans. Perhaps he's busslagged.

Ah, I didn't realise it was played at the Cottage. I don't think you can get any closer to playing at Loftus Road than that.

I looked up Fulham and Colombia to help you make the distinction in future, Nines.

Apparently, one is a God-forsaken, lawless ****hole rife with guns, drugs and violent gangs and the other is a country in South America.
 
shame I will miss this one. Last week their plastic fans were crying about the state of the club and relegation. Since Clement has come in they all seem to be saying the will beat us 3 and 4 - 0. Deluded muppets. Lets hope Hollow doesnt start messing around with the team. They have been shocking recently so maybe spured by the new manger bounce. I expect if we score they will go back to still being s@@t.

I'm gutted as I usually go to this fixture being it's on my doorstep. I'm moving into a new flat so can't make it.

Anyway, up the Rangers<cheers> we have done well in our last two outings to the fakes:emoticon-0148-yes:<diva>
 
Seeing as Luongo played for the Socceroos in Colombia last night, I doubt if he'll be ready for Friday. I think the starting Xl will probably be something like this ...

Bloody soft Aussie
Ryan nelsen played better after a 24hour flight
 
Important game in my view, as we really need to pick up where we left off.
There can be no looking at the game as having no importance.
We need a strong finish to the season; to build momentum and to be seen as a club players will want to join with every prospect of being able to break into the team (as Smyth, Eve, Manning, Freeman have done). We will need a good off-season for recruitment with so many contracts ending.
Has to be a win for me! Come on Rrrrrsss!!!!!
 
Good news on the injury front, the Official has Scowen, Robinson and Sylla all fit again and available for selection tomorrow.

Good news! If they are match fit, then the key issue will be how to select the team.

I would expect Scowen to feature and the rest of the team should be similar to the Fulham team. However, I have no idea how to resolve the Freeman and Eze issue.

If we set up 4 2 3 1 maybe Freeman would be effective in the 2 and Eze in the 3, something like this -

Smithies
Furlong Ned Lynch Bidwell
Luongo Freeman
Smyth Eze Pawel
Smith

This fully works and is a very good team ... but without Scowen.

I admit that I personally like the policy of players having "to win" their places. It is good to reward performance and to create healthy competition for places. Based on this approach, it would be my starting starting eleven.

However, if the objective is to place Scowen along side Luongo in defensive midfield, then we have both Freeman and Eze fighting for the no.10 position. If this were to happen, then I would start with Eze with a view of introducing Freeman in the 2nd half.

Who would have thought we would have such dilemma a few a months ago? :)

The best team may not include all of the players we think are the best.
