Expecting a big performance from Tim on sat. Had a good game v Sunderland away and its almost last chance saloon for him and nev to win something.
That said I think we have better options than Tim nowadays. Leon and Pienaar showed the value of controlling the midfield with ball players...
If we win the fa cup and chelsea win the CL but finish 6th...
... then 5th place will miss out on europe altogether.

none of the starting 11 should play more than 90 minutes over the easter weekend. apart from maybe howard.
either play a full rezzie team v sunderland or go half and half sunderland and norwich.
