Can't wait to see the smug Phelan face later http://images.radiotimes.com/namedimage/Coronation_Street__Pat_Phelan_WILL_get_his_comeuppance____The_bad_guys_can_t_win___says_Connor_McIntyre.jpg?quality=85&mode=crop&width=620&height=374&404=tv&url=/uploads/images/original/109871.jpg

Sels; Janmaat, Lascelles, Mbemba, Dummett; Hayden, Shelvey; Ritchie, Diame, Aarons; Gayle That'd be my best guess. Get the feeling Perez will be dropped after last week.

Leicester -1 is 5/2, win both halves 9/2 and Vardy/2-0 28/1. Got on all of those as I think Hull's rag tag side with no support from the bench will get walked over.

"Apparently, this Kone deal is causing the mags some minor issues with a loan signing"

"Under the new manager, there's a project and it's a forward-thinking Club now, so I'm just..." Definitely a dig at Pards, Carver and Island Head that like. Particularly the "now".

He used to alwayd remind Steve Stone that he was Assistant TO the Head Coach.

Aarons has just confirmed the news on his Instagram.

I think after the shit bandied around before the Fulham game, people need to be careful of the "4 or 5 nowt, fancy so and so for a hattrick" attitude. I personally think it'll be an edgy 1-0 Pards type game, goal arriving late in the game.

I'd be surprised if Aarons doesn't start. Been good in pre season.

I hope it's Mitro who gets it like.

Sels Janmaat Lascelles Mbemba Gamez Colback Anita Ritchie Perez Aarons Gayle Feel like it'll be this, with possibly Shelvey or Hayden in for Anita.

Wanted us to give him another shot. Hopefully this means we have a winger on the way in.

Why ask him such a shit question? Next up, Nigel from West Denton, who wants to know Rafa's favourite flavour of crisp.

Ideal signing for depth and a nice utility man to cover three positions.

Benitext? Nah, Benitex, short for Terry and Texas and that.

Villa fans are only booting off because their "massive club" has been relegated and nobody is considering them likely to win promotion. Nobody gives a fuck and it's killing them; their fans seem to have some mackemesque qualities. I of course extend my hand in respect for brummie from here. Even the worst fanbases have good fans.

It'll be a 3 year deal I reckon.

Probably Williamson's replacement. Fair play.

Wasn't it him who dived in and made that shite tackle that lead to Lukaku's goal at the Euros?

"A proven piece".... of shit

I think Rafa plans to get him and Moussa to breed before he leaves. Thereby recreating his fave Liverpool midfield workhorse Momo Sissoko.

Ray Hudson doesn't think it's going to work out. "He's been fired more times than George Jetson" :lol: superb analogy that.

Good news. It'll be a class signing this imo.
