According to "iamtheyak" Phil Neville is out and Jagielka or Osman will be named captain.

Pienaar should start aswell. He's usually reliable.

What about Manuel Henriques?

For some reason I'm well up for tomorrow. In my head we've turned the corner already and we're gonna batter 'em.

He played for Valencia against Maritimo and looked bloody good.

I'm also up for tommorow, especially looking forward to seeing Arteta, Osman, Fellaini and Pienaar in midfield. The midget gems will hopefully be on fire tommorow.

No Neville aswell.

Make way for Castillo. This is his type of game in my humble yet tipsy opinion.

I wonder who'll play RB if Hibbert doesn't make it? Yobo was awful there last time he played.

bluesb1970 · October 4, 2008

Howard
Jags Yobo Lescott Baines
Castillo
Arteta Fellaini Pienaar
Yak Anichebe/Vaughan

I [Poor language removed] hope Hibbert doesn't play.

Watch him boss the game.

hibbert will score.

Must mean that Yobo wont be playing then surely he would have been the likely choice of captain, personally im not to chuffed hes out of the team.

I thought you rated him above Jags?

I do mate, i meant to say chuffed you know my spelling, has to be said Jags doesnt deserve to be out of the team on form, JOLE is a very lucky boy IMO presently.

3 right backs, not one of them fit. sums up our season so far. i'd put yobo in there to deal with that spiderman fella guitterez or whatever his name is. if newcastle score against us it must be some kinda record for worst defensive start by anytime team in the league, i know we've broke our own record.

Think Spiderman is injured today, the main danger will be Owen hes become adept at playing deeper in the hole and drifting into the box ala a certain Oz Midfeilder we know, unless our midfielders track his running from deep we could be in the manure buissness again.!
