Well then, International breaks are brilliant, but boy they sure can seem to go on forever, can’t they? Time to get back to a bit of normality, at least as far as we are concerned, and jump right into another matchday debate about all the fantasy going ons today…
We have eight (yes a bumper bill today) matches going on today – Michael Turners new team Sunderland host his old side Hull, Liverpool will be looking to hit their stride against Burnley, Adebayor will want to best the boo-boys as Man City face Arsenal and Man Utd travel to Harrys red-hot Hotspurs in todays evening match up (and that’s only half the games).
That wonderful word of the season crops up too, joining rotation watch here are the folks I have noticed surprisingly benched or missing so far: Eduardo, Elmander, Anelka, Carvalho, Essien, Lawrence, Tuncay, Etherington, Fuller, Jones, Mascherano & Jimenez. I’m sure I’ve missed a few to say the least as well…. Mark & Granville were right in this weeks podcast, Stoke really have joined this rotation lark haven’t they?
So let’s get down to the business, with the absence of Mark I will be your master of ceremonies today, the Scout chat room is officially open for business to discuss all of todays big game action. Remember all your general polite rules – no unnecessary language, don’t just sit there filling a seat if you aren’t joining in – and none of those annoying ghost gooooooooooooooal shouts. Other than that, I look forward to seeing the first 40 of you in there for some merry old banter – who brought the biscuits today?
