edit: On Downing - I've heard a fair few journos mention that whenever they talk to players, managers, coaches that have worked with Downing, they all rave about him and talk up how good a player he is in training. Hopefully (and I don't know how), Rodgers can find a way for him to replicate his performances on the training pitch in matches.

I think that's a kind way of saying 'he's a bit **** really' just like when people say 'he's a confidence player' when referring to players like Heskey :D
 
Allen better bloody play if I'm sticking him in my Fantasy League team!

Newcaslte fans, any idea if Cabaye/Colo are major doubts for tomorrow?

Left flank would worry me a bit in that formation in terms of not playing many natural left-footers down that side.

I'm not sure that's too much of an issue. It looks as if Rodgers prefers his wide players playing on the opposite flanks and cutting in.

The front 3 lined up as above vs Gomel with Downing playing exclusively from the right and Borini & Suarez switching between the role centrally and on the left (although Suarez mostly played centrally). The only difference is the fullbacks and I can only assume that Enrique's injured if that team is correct. Johnson's more than comfortable playing on the left though - even when he's playing on the right, he cuts infield as much as he goes down the outside.

Colo fit. Cabaye doubtful but not concrete. More mind games than anything.

Less than 24 hours...

not sure how accurate this is Arsenal bought Anelka, Overmars, Petit, Henry, Vieira, Fàbregas, RVP, Toure, Adebayor and Nasri for £42m. Then sold them for £206m but that's incredible business and probably part of the reason why arsenal continue to keep faith in him

We got Song and RVP for a combined £3.25m, they could be gone for £40m :p

CL every year, good profit...

Shame we suffer as fans having to say goodbye to our star players every summer :(
 
8 kilos is just over half a stone according to Reid :o

Edit: And a grey shirt was... grey. It's like watching University challenge with these two on today.
