I don't like SWP, he's not the player he was and tends to need about 3 attempts to get crosses right. Young is more of a player who'll recieve it, work a yard and then cross, which is fine, but I like Walcott because he's direct and prepared to run with the ball from deep and also gets in the box. He's got a good opportunity now with van persie and Bendtner injured to get a run of games (provided he doesn't get injured himself) and prove himself. He wouldn't start, but he's a much better option from the bench than Owen imo, Owen really doesn't suit our team at all, we'll be playing with two wingers and probably aiming for Heskey (ugh) I don't back Owen to pick up the scraps anymore. Obviously we'll see in the next months, but in this moment I'd take Walcott cos he's got more to his game.

Out of interest, given their respective seasons, why should Walcott be ahead of Owen? Wright Phillips and Lennon have impressed on the wings. Milner and Young would also be ahead of Walcott imo, at this current stage. Lennon would start on the right for me but doesn't get nearly enough goals. Walcott is capable of that and I'd be much happier having him on the bench (pace, good dribbling ability, eye for goal) than Owen who will make the runs but will mess up the dynamics of the team and offer next to nothing in the build up. SWP wouldn't get in the squad if I was picking it either fwiw.

Nah. Defoe, Rooney, Crouch, Heskey and Walcott as a winger/striker for me.

Get in.

Exactly, already did it once before in the game apparently.

All ex players and people in the media will say he does, I don't think there's many fans who would tbf, but then, since when has anyone cared what the fans think?

Very surprised at Man Utd with Chelsea dropping points. Immense day for the bookies.

They're better away than at home, will be tight I think. 2-1 to us or 2-2. Harper Simpson Taylor Colo Enrique Smith Guthrie Loven Nolan Jonas Shola Obviously won't be. I just really hope he doesn't start Butt.

Nolan will go back into midfield probs.

Think he's warming up and had a go at the lino.

Come on ffs. Come on Nile.

Agh man.

Fuck off City, just fuck off.

Hmmmm.

Yeah they've started well, 3 corners in a row.
