Matchday Surgery

8 December 2012 388 comments

Mark

The lure of the double Gameweek is strong. To spend or not to spend? Do we toss our armbands in the unlikely direction of Sunderland or Reading? There are many questions to throw around this morning and, with just over an hour to go, our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to offer real-time assistance to those firmly in a quandary.

The day’s Dugout Discussion follows around 2.30 today, with a nightmarish double Gameweek viewpoint to come in the Pre-match Preamble very shortly.

    Its funny you should say that cos captaining a sunderland midfielder is the gamble, RVP is the safe bet.

  Agreed. If Sess doesnt come up with the goods against Chelsea, you can at least rest in the reassurance that he may do so on Tuesday.

Despite Norich defensive showings of late, bookmakers are giving quite low odds for Michu scoring anytime (evens)

Worth our time to discuss.

#SAFC Team News: Steven Fletcher should be fit to start, while John O’Shea should make the bench for the Black Cats

This trustworthy? I got Fletcher (c) at the moment.

Right. Gone for Michu (c) over Berbatov. If Berbatov proceeds to get his k**b out tomorrow I will shut mine in my car door

Er......Is this opening my nads up for some pain on Monday night at around 9:45pm?

  One of the worst line-ups I have seen all day. Gorkss won't play. Begovic has a tough match. Cazorla, Hazard, Sterling, Berbatov all cold as ice. Fletcher could be injured. Tevez will come on as a second half sub.
