Lampard and Gerrard in midfield together. *Facepalm*

How many times do they have to show they don't compliment each other and they are extremely similar players? I'm actually bored of seeing managers try.

Thought James would start with the squad numbers. Hope Heskey plays well but I aren't expecting much. Milner offers a bit more of a defensive option so not really much of a surprise.

As for our GK I hope Hart is given it after the WC. Tell him it's his to lose for the next 10 years and get behind him. Look at what it did for Casillas getting made first choice at 21. If we nurture him well Hart will be a top top goalkeeper in my opinion.

When the alternative is playing Michael Carrick I think it's worth another go!

I've always thought the problem wasn't just those two, but we also had Rooney and Joe Cole in the side who did their best work in the same part of the pitch, behind the striker(s).

Hopefully by now they are experienced and disciplined enough to make a decent enough fist of it, won't fancy it up against the better teams though.

I guess we'll see then.


This build up from Chiles by ITV is utterly embarrassing and small time.

I'm keeping the TV off until kick-off time when it's an ITV game.

Milner has had a great season for Villa, and he deserves his start tonight.

Heskey is a better option than Crouch, so im happy with that too.

Only one which i find strange is Aaron Lennon.

Go on Gerrard

Got him 100/1 top scorer

Epic

FUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!
