Because a player could never train during the week but not be fit enough to play in a competitive match against the best team in the country.

Come on, Ian. The club would usually say he's back in training but not ready for this one... They haven't, they simply said he was injured, and he isn't.

Oh ok. I also agree we never landed on the moon, Prince Phillip had Diana executed and jewish shapeshifting lizards rule the world.

Villa winning

[MmmMonsterMunch]

I'd rather QPR win today than Villa.

Exactamundo.

Can't believe 2 of the 4 GSS pundits said Villa to win. Off their heads Villa are crap. Us, Villa & Wigan down IMO.

The club doesn't have to reveal everything. We have more pressing matters to know about then whether Guthrie is back in training.

He's injured, deal with it. Why do you think that Dolan has some sort of vendetta against a specific player?

[Royal Lady]

Perhaps it's AZ who has the problem with him?

[ManchesterRoyals]

FFS get rid of Guthrie in the summer what a waste of a signing

[ManchesterRoyals]

2-2 Villa Qpr

[buzzby]

Rooney and RVP start for United.

Decent. Hunt alone up front could work.

[Mike Hunt]

Dellor just said that McCarthy is in goal.

[JS28ZoD]

4-5-1 thank god, it's our only hope of staying in games.

Nope

[Mike Hunt]

haha. It was unconfirmed. Dellor cracks me up

[akranes]

On the bench though

[JS28ZoD]

Again hardly any players in our starting 11 are comfortable in possession of the ball, only Shorey, Mapps, McAnuff and HRK... That's why we are going down and that's why we will have 30% possession again today.

[Mike Hunt]

No Akpan either.

[RedRum]

Surprised Akpan isn't starting tbh. Guess Dolan's looking for a more defensive feel. Wonder which winger is sitting behind Hunt?
