What we shouldn't have until next week on Wednesday at the earliest is a 'pick your team v Spammers' thread. When that thread comes up too early it ends up forgotten and washed out about 2 days before the match, which is a shame because it's usually the best thread of the week.

Don't worry, we'll have loads to talk about. Like how Jenas is shit and can only pass sideways, how Robbie Keane will never be a legend and the reasons why he has at least 10 childhood clubs, why BAE is a shit Lb, why Hutton is a shit RB, how Harry is tactically inept, there will also be stats galore, oh yes people love stats on SC.
There will be loads to discuss
Not to mention the literal impossibility of making 4th, how Liverpool will catch us, and we will be lucky (LUCKY!) to finish in tyhe top 10:grin:

No worries...the fact that we can't make 4th is on a kinda roll-over. Once we don't make 4th this season, we can begin discussing how we can't make 4th for next season. That will keep us going through the Summer, and has lots of approaches. For instance, we can argue about how our signings (or lack thereof) prove that we can't make 4th as we sign them (or not, as the case may be):wink:

The Pikeys have been in good form recently and they'll be up for their cup final :wink:
If players arn't 100% fit dont play them...if VDV isn't fit, Pav and Defoe should start in a 4-4-2.
A front six of:
Lennon
Sandro
Modric
Bale/Kranjcar
Pav
Defoe
should be more than good enough to win the game....
As much as I see the value in Pienaar being a squad member I'll not be impressed if he's starting this one....if Bale isn't right for this one surely Niko has to start...at home to the Pikeys!

Agree about Niko, although he's not as defensively minded as Pienaar is, he is far more likely to set something up or score another one of those spectacular long range efforts. He has done enough recently to deserve a little bit of playing time.

Personally I don't really want to see Niko on the wings.
I'd like to see him in direct competition with VDV for a place behind the lone striker.

He's not as defensively minded as Pienaar - quite right and thats why Pienaar got the nod on Wednesday night, but this is at home to West Ham...a game we most defintely should be on the front foot for...

Yes, I want to thrash them :evil:
We haven't done that at all this season, goals haven't flowed as much.

It should be interesting to see who is available and our bench could be the strongest we've ever seen. Both Bale and VDV should be back to full fitness albeit lacking that match sharpness but I don't see any reason that they both won't start, well certainly Bale should.
The main question mark will be who starts up front, if VdV starts then I can only see Crouch starting but if not then Pav and Defoe will start, IMO these are the only two permeations Harry will adopt.

They are, and it couldn't happen to a nicer team than The Hamsters :wink:
