Andy Roy Hodgson “supersized” his team to counter the Potteries air raid but saw his lofty selection undone by a Rory Delap header. The diminutive Carlos Vela demonstrated his “big” talent to come to Hodgson’s rescue, as the Baggies earned a point and were only denied all three by a miraculous late display by Asmir Begovic between the sticks. Here is the run-down on last night’s action from the Britannia…
True dat! Still would have prefered the cleanie though!
Begovic was the star..!
Burnt & Odem will be kicked out of my team soon..! (don't know why people here gave so much hype for Burnt)
yeh getting rid of odemwingie this week, either for zigic or beckford, cant decide who though?
I fear a brimingham hangover but I also fear a benched beckford, if saha and cahill are fully fit.
Can we rely on Saha? he use to be very silent after few games, after a huge score..
Beckford is roto risk... thinking of getting Tevez.
its always better to go with established players,
have tevez and rooney already. Im getting in a 5.0m > 5.3m cheap third defender, and it makes sense to get in a DGW player.
I'd sell Sun Burnt for sure. 😉
Yeh he made the difference if you had him.
so how many players have people got tonight.
Ive three, Vidic, Nani (c) and Rooney?
Everyone pretty similar?
nani, rooney (c)
nani (c) rooney & Lampard
Just Nani(c) & Roon. Guess that's pretty standard?
I'm not expecting too much to be honest. Think United and Chelsea will just cancel each other out tonight.
long as they both score im happy.
I hope at the very least both teams score. Can't be doing with everyone have cleanie's.
Luiz, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney (Capt) for me tonight. Need both teams to score as guy above me has 2 Chelski defenders and Vidic lol
Bonjour, Monsieur Goddard. Law Abiding Citizen - 3. 5 stars. Surprisingly enjoyable that one.
ugh, really Si? I just can't stand Gerard "This is SPAAAAARRRRTTAAA" Butler, trailers looked awful, and his American accent is shocking.
Going to sell Berbatov for either Zigic or Saha. everton have the better double and better fixtures but... after Beckford scored 2 goals in the last game is he going to be benched for Saha? Will Cahill, Beckford and Saha start? I'm not sure if Saha would start both games! What does everyone think?
That's exactely my plan. If you want to play safe, I would go Zigic. He will get you 180min.
With Saha you'll never know if he gets injured and Beckford didn't get much playing time lately. The two goals in the last game will help him get some more minutes, but I don't think he's nailed on to start both.
i agree with zigic, he will play both. Beckford and Saha are rotation risks
Zigic and Cahill for me as already got baines and coleman.
Mereiles and Berbatov out
Anyone know anything about bale? i'm wanting either
cahill, nasri, vdv or bale but the only one i can afford (without selling nani) is bale.
acc. to harry he will be back for the milan game so he should be fit for gw30 when spurs good fixtures start...
cheeers, back to the drawing board.
I've got young, so dont want to have too many villa players. cheers though.
Is Arteta worth a punt, he looked back to his old self at the weekend. This cup game against reading might help...
my main rivalhas him, so could be a good shout in that respect but cant really afford him without a hit
"quite possibly from an offside position" #understatement
🙁
seeing as newcastle are interested and he outscored andy carroll last season i expect £40m atleast
on a serious note if he goes he'll be the first name in my dreamteam next season
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-Bristol-City-to-cash-in-on-Nicky-Maynard-when-he-returns-to-fitness-article709239.html
didnt realise he was so young...
and you mean second behind taabart? 😉
I went for dinner last night at Jamies Italian. It was really nice.
I had feather steak, a salad, and a small tagliatelli with shaved truffle and butter.
sounds good mate. hes a got a restaurant up by me iv been meaning to check it out
Watch the Cholestrol Soop.
😀
Todays lunch is caesar salad (in fact most of the rest of the week is), so I'll probably be fine.
Is his annoying fat face postered around the restaurant, Soop?
so steve kean into 6/1 best price to be next manager out, maybe that little rumour on here yesterday actually has legs....
Am thinking bardsley for luiz. As Sunderland are done. Guess will have to see how he goes v united.
Luiz has looked good from the little I have seen of him. good value if he settles into a first-team seat.
I thought Roy's tactics last night were pretty sound.He may do the same with West Brom that he did with Fulham.I expect the fans will all want it doing the day before yesterday and the owners want it doing for tuppence.
Taking on a team with such a dreadful defensive record and attacking confidence lost, takes a great deal of self belief.
I wish him and W.B.A luck but fear it may need another promotion battle next year.
They've horrible fixtures. I can't see anything other than relegation for them in all honesty.
You are probably right Bubbles, but he,if anyone is the manager to get them back up on a shoestring budget.Lest we forget, the hero of Liverpool's resurgence (Miereles) was a Hodgson find.
SO last night was a bit disappointing, apart from the mighty Bego.
I got burnt by Brunt and .... by Odem...right, that clever word play fizzled out at the end, but at least i tried eh?
At least you managed to pick up what was probably the worst bonus point of the season...
yeah WE did. Maybe it was for his captaincy, refusing to let the spirit drop and pushing to the very end - the intangible side of football. Either way, he's on his way out at the first appropriate opportunity
Bold statement, Pies. Plenty of competition for that one.
a) Brunt to Nasri (free) [Kelly, Adam, RVP on the bench]
b) Brunt to Cahill, Kelly to Walker (-4 points) [Walker, Adam, RVP on bench]
Any news on VdV...any chance he'll be back this w/e?
Cheers
best chelsea striker for blackpool game, torres...?
I honeatly can;t decide between Arteta and Cahill,any help?
Me too,already in for me.
Although I wouldn't have taken him out anyway (too many other transfers to do) I still don't fully understand the stampede to drop odemwingie. He looked dangerous when he came on and Woy wil surely have learnt his lesson. Admittedly his fixtures are fairly poor, but I reckon he could score decently at home against arsenal/chelsea......
...but can he match the dizzying heights of the 7 points he managed too accrue in perhaps the easiest DGW imaginable?
woy likes to play him wide i don't see decent returns from him...
I can see that being a real problem, but hopefully he'll be capable of cutting inside now and again......
he's gone this week, better options at brum and toffess this week.
My team is losing value and there seems little hope I'll be able to afford Tevez this week for Berbs, given I'm now 0.2 short. Do I
A. Bring in Torres instead
B. Take out RVP for Tevez regardless of any injury concern
C. Take out RVP for Berbs
D. Wait for outcome of Everton v Reading and bring in Zigic for Berbs
E. As above but Beckford for Berbs
RVP > Tevez only if RVP is def out.
Atm D looks the best option.
Even if RVP is fit though, will he play that many minutes against Sunderland prior to the Barca game?
u should have taken out RVP last week to avoid the price drop, and Tevez's price rise. All about timing mate! 🙂
But to worry, I reckon Torres is a good one to get in for the B'Pool game.
And in my opinion, Zigic is a safer bet than beckford.
My first transfer is very likely to be Berba>Zigic.
Do you think one of the following is worth a hit?
A.Rafael>Baines (double up on EVE defense)
B.Barton/Silva (depends on injury news) > Cahill
C.no hit
Cheers.
im doing odem to zigic.
thats it, no points hit.
everton strikers are a risk.

hahah pretty funny article on eurosprt for once.
hahaha yeah that was the funny bit 😉 didnt want to give too much away
Another not so funny but true.

I completely agree with him. It is shocking how he got away with it.
Leave it out. ALL the top clubs (and England's media darlings in particular) get away with more than what they should.
Yes, Rooney should've been banned. But Stevie G got away with an elbow earlier in the season, JT seems to be the only one who can get a red overturned, blah blah blah.
ALL the big clubs get more than their fair share of decisions in reality. Not how it should be, but it is.

Morning all. Any opinions on the following options
A . Torres and Djourou
B. Anelka and Nasri
C. Zigic and Nasri.
Which two to bring in this gameweek ?
Cheers
zigic and nasri
I think Odemwingie has to be shipped now – Hodgson put him on the bench last night and The Albion ended up with a decent result so can’t see that changing for the next away game.
Providing the Everton Reading game isn’t a draw tonight, I was thinking, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, for a Birmingham striker. Zigic is the same price and seems to be starting games now, though I am wary the Big Eck has Obafemi and Jerome at his disposal to rotate with too. I don’t have any faith in Jerome whatsoever so he is a no go. How much is Obafemi? Don’t have access to the FPL at present. But Zigic has to be the shout surely, even if it is for hit. They have two doubles and alright fixtures in between. Anyone else considering one of these as the third striker option, even though they are by no means regular scorers?
Obafemi and Zigic are both 5.3. Out of the two, it has to be Zigic, who isn't a bad punt at all. Birmingham have good home fixtures for the reminder of the season (i.e. the games that you'll play him) and have another double pretty soon in week 33.
All depends on RVP's fitness for me, if he's only going to miss one game I don't mind sitting on Wingie for a few more weeks and just playing 4-5-1 next week. I agree that long term he looks pretty cr*ppy though.
Problem for me is I'm not feeling Zigic or Martins or Sturridge or Saha or ANY of the obvious replacements.
That is very true Mr Priest, you wouldn’t play him every week but barring injury he should be pretty safe to figure in all of the games. They can’t prioritise the FA Cup run as they are still fighting it out at the bottom of the league. Martins may be good for a brace one week but wouldn’t like to be waiting for points from him – He won’t be playing Szczesny and Koscielny every week after all.. 🙂
You must be chuffed with your score following the big hit – I went the opposite way (very boring and conservative I know) and took no hits and played with 10. Until it turned out to be 9, thanks Joey. I thought it may play into my hands a little with so many taking hits. It would be looking a helluva lot better if Rooney got -2 that is for sure.
Im picking Zigic up at the train station later today. I threw odemwingie on the famine ship this morning.
So RVP "has no chance" of making Barca game. Ouch.
Link source?
Check totalfpl.
I know. That was from The Mirror though wasn’t it, or has it been confirmed?
That means he is definitely out for the Sunderland game too. There is a bit of a gap to the West Brom game though, so I was thinking of keeping him anyway. This week there is no outstanding striker prospect if you have Tevez already.
Chelsea Striker?(depending on what happens tonight)
Torres away at Blackpool?
Have Blackpool even kept a clean sheet at home this season?
Wow. Injury and squad rotation/benchings are taking their toll on my team. Had a pretty sorted squad a few weeks ago, now I can barely field a team!
Foster - Al Habsi
Kolarov - Huth - Coleman - Rafael - Djourou
Nani - Van der Vaart - Meireles - Downing - Barton
Tevez - Berbatov - Van Persie
I've got doubts about: Rafael, Meireles, Berbatov, Van Persie.
Who's the priority - who should I shift first? And for who?
Your defence isnt bad. I would go Meireles > Nasri this week and if you fancy a hit RVP > Saha - DGW
I definately fancy Saha over Zigic. Is a Brum Midfielder worth a hit?...Condsidering my midfield consists of: Adam(sus) Fabs(yellow) Brunt(Sh*t) Nolan & Nani??
Looking at playing a 3-4-3 with Tevez, Berbatov and Saha upfront...Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Cheers.
you're considering a hit for a brum midfielder and an out of form Saha over an in form Zigic? This all seems crazy to me...
Maybe your right fratboy or Maybe, your a sheep that follows the crowd, hence, you scrapped into the top 1,000,000 rank by the skin of your teeth.
Brunt's been shot?!
Whats happened to Rafael? he seems off radar now
Any chance of Berba starting tonite?
CRICKET
Murail (c) and Mendis bowling in tandem...surely the wickets will fall for Kenya now?
