    Over the season can we really afford a shitty defense? At some stage you will want the regular CS offered by arsensl Chelsea etc

      Everyone keeps saying there aren't many cleansheets at the start of the season. I don't think I believe that

        The way I keep justifying it is that we dont really know who is nailed at the back for the big clubs.

    My current defence

    Krul//Mannone

    Terry//Bruce//Dummit//Vlaar//Cameron

    0.0 in the bank. I'd forgotten what a state I'd left it in.

    To all those who entered my Talksport Predictor league;
    Thanks to everyone who entered. I have now reached the limit of 50 players. A message appears telling me that no more can enter the league but I currently have 61 players in there. Not sure how that works.
    So if anyone applied after 10;30pm on 11 August I suggest you enter/make another league as you may not be included in mine. If I get any more news I'll post it on here

      Pool should've scored several against them in Champions Cup. To be honest they haven't been particularly secure t the back in a few years now. Much better defenses out there like Chelsea and Arsenal.
