Caulker will be brought on as sub for Haidara (thanks, Pards). Watch this space.

sounds awful. How are you guys lined up today? Who's behind Adebayor? Nothing so mundane. Eriksen, Chadli and Lamela should be interchangeable.

I've had Naughton and Chester in my FF team. FFFFS

I distinctly remember it always being like that.

48p with 5 = decent? f*** off . Hang on, just found your team. Your maths is shite.

48p with 5 = decent? Fuck off .

Villa are awful. This is the first home match, after winning their first game, and you're taking the piss.

You've been good last 10.

He'd have been better off kneeling down and heading it.

Oh dear

That hair though, Mike. Can't see past it.

Scottish Cafu, innit?

Dummett offers more because he hurt Suarez that one time. I've not seen Dummett for a while - is he better now?

So are we ever going to see Haidara start at LB? I genuinely cannot fathom that decision.

Get it out of the way. Villa and Newcastle too - two birds with one stone.

I met the Xisco fan club at Barca B vs Cordoba last season Did you buy him a drink?

Apparently we've sold Chiriches to Roma.

Naah, not really, we look about the same so far. If we don't get one or two of the guys Poch wants - and Schneiderlin and Musacchio seem to be staying put for now - then I think it's business as usual. Nobody really great, but enough class to be sixth or seventh fairly comfortably. We'll get gubbed by the big boys but get enough points to be in the Europa again.

Against, or our line-up? Limassol, they put Zenit out in the round before so are no mugs. A few guys are getting their first game in post-World Cup. We look exactly like we have done for two years, though. Really? Did Zenit get knocked out and go into the Champions League qualifiers? Sorry, no idea what happened there . They beat Zenit in one match but got put out 3-1 on aggregate.

Classic early season European away match. Awful pitch, awful ref. I'd probably take the 1-0 defeat right now.

It's on Limassol's site if you have 8 quid.

Is Vorm injured? I would have expected him to be on the bench at least. Couldn't be registered in time. He'll be in the squad if we go through.

Our team tonight, FWIW: #THFC team: Lloris ©; Naughton, Dier, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Paulinho; Holtby, Townsend, Kane; Soldado. #COYS #THFC subs: Friedel, Rose, Dawson, Chadli, Dembele, Sandro, Lamela. #COYS

Short term pain long term gain. Short term?
