A sensible approach would be to be somewhat guarded based on any information she may have had on the back of a fag packet but instead she waded in with both feet demonstrating a level of embarrassment and incompetence probab...

In terms of tonight's selections, why would you pick anyone not 100% fit for this game and risk further injury,( which we'd probably expect to lose with a full strength team anyway ), when we've got eminently more winnable games coming up with Watford at home and Palace away in the next 7 days ?
