    Second coming of the Moaning one, this season.

    He has stated (hope not cursed) that we are the champions and we don't have anything to play for.

    Indirectly stating the obvious that we will be favorites especially at home.

    I see first 11 playing this game, given this is a weekend game.

    Will be a good game and both teams will field their first teams. Classic Jose mind games. League is far from done and wont influence team selection at all.

    As Conte has previously stated he doesn't listen or get involved in mind games. Jose's antics here often bought the club into disrepute and frowned on by others for his appalling sense of sportsmanship especially against the bigger rivals. In short Jose is still steaming at the 4-0 drubbing here earlier and he will play a full team as will we.

    Conte does his talking through his teams' on field performances. Jose is still to learn the art of silence as a strength.
    That said , he does seem to have stopped his more ridiculous press statements, and he has started to point the Man Utd team towards the top 4. He has always been a great Manager but his mouth and ego too often got in the way. IF Man U manage to turn us over in the Cup, let's hope the Mouth doesn't make a comeback !!

    I have no doubt Conte will choose the strongest side available ( Luiz????) . I get the impression that Signor Conte is a man that will happily let the special ones words go in one ear and out the other. The double must, now Europe is off the agenda, be eyeballs out for the squad so although the reds are 16 games unbeaten I think Jose might well have a miserable return to SB!

    what the what, another Monday night game??

    going to miss the game due to work.

    if I leave work early, historically things don't go well on the pitch.

    I cannot continue to take one for the team.

    I will try my best CP. However Monday doesn't look too promising at work. I hope I am wrong and stay back at work.

    CP, just an example of my force.

    this week fantasy I had choice to pick King or Antonio for Bournemouth vs West Ham match.

    Went with King for his obvious pen skills (last week against Manu).

    King missed the penalty few mins ago against Spammers & next minute Antonio scores a goal.

    P.S. I can stop Kane whenever I want. I don't want to stoop too low. Spuds can self implode.

    Or not..

    Josh King pulls of a Bergkamp like wonder goal to restore parity against Spammers.

    Gives me confidence for tomorrow <ok>

    I think we will rotate a small bit. I can see maybe 3 bench sitters starting.

    I also see 11 starting for us and ditto for them, this game is a banana skin for us and a no win situation due to the Jose factor.

    This is some talent to have. I seem to be able to do the same with Costa, soon as I criticise him, he scores.

    am not exaggerating.
    Last night added Kane to my fantasy team. Just made him captain before going to bed.

    This morning he is broken already.. damnn
    didn't expect that effect. Hope Kane gets better soon <ok>

    thought Spuds will **** up with Kane. Without him is there a question?
