Kitson back in full training. Or not.

According to the EP today, Kitson is back in full training this week. He will be wearing a yellow bib for a couple of days which means the rest of the players can't go in hard with them but hopes to be taking a more usual part by Thursday. Great news and hope it all goes well for him, could be back ...

Lots of interest so far, except from STAR. Come STAR, can I at least have an acknowledgement….? Suggestion acknowledged - we'll bring this up at the appropriate forum, but TBH I'd be very surprised if this was a go-er. Quite apart from the insurance and risk of injuries for expensive Premier Leag...

Re: Convey

Reading send Convey to States First I've heard of this? Why send him to the States? Surely he would be better recuperating here, close to his team mates and physio??? i remember him stating in his interview on tribalfootball that he was a bit homesick. may as well be in the states while recovering....

It's also worth noting that if you study the forthcoming 6 fixtures for the other teams in the relegation vicinity, some of them in particular are very very tricky.

How about a retrospective puishment against the team not just the player. For example, if it can be proven after the match that a player dived to win a penalty (a la Zokora), if said penalty is scored the goal can be stricken from the records after the event. In that one case, Spurs would lose 2pts,...

the club just wants to look good and get higher the hooligan rankings and banning orders :roll: That is possibly one of the most stupid things ever said on here.

Platypuss Do you really think Fabregas wouldn't have had a clear goal-scoring opportunity if he hadn't been brought down? :shock:


At the angle he would have been at, it could be argued, yes. Though the way they were playing he would have more than likely have knocked it in.

as anyone ever considered using Seol on the left? he is a good two footed player judging on the goals he scored this season. it was noticable that both Chelsea and Arsenal starved him of service, its obvious that he was pinpointed as our main dangerman, so to play him on the left and Little on the ...

Yep, think Saturday could see him start in the League.

Personally, I'd be tempted to play Seol either up top or just off Doyle and bring Little in.

Here he goes again, thinking he's clever. Truth is, he is just about as intelligent as a flea.


Can you clarify here if you mean:

a) a flea circus flea
b) a normal flea
c) the bass player in Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Thanks.

Mate is a Fulham fan and hated them being there on Monday night. He said they were much brighter there than they appeared when he saw the goals on TV and gave him a blinding headache.
