With Gueye, we'd be the slowest team playing football on Saturday.

Both him and Stevenage boss Graham Westley are playing mind games.

Westley said 'Martinez will need psychiatric help if he plays Lukaku on Saturday'.

Martinez said at today's press conference that he thought the comment was 'odd'.

Hope Vellios starts anyway.

Bob knows what he is doing, I'm not concerned I'm more interested in knowing if Bob likes pineapple on pizza

Love Martinez managing us but don't be ridiculous Roberto.

Strange thing to say to be honest, why not just "it will be a hard game"?

Obviously attempting to put the pressure on them and off us, but thats not going to happen lets be honest

Roberto obviously knows what sort of a team he's going to pick.
I'm guessing there will be quite a few rested and a few younger chaps given a chance to show they are worthy of moving up into the first team squad.
