Fucking cowardice once more. In a game like this what is wrong with going for it with Bannan or Gardner?

Take the game to the opposition instead of lumping it in fear.

It doesn't matter where Heskey plays because with him included, we are down to ten men.

Yup.
I'm gutted and it's still half an hour to kick off.

  To be fair, we have'nt got a great deal of options, Weimann is the only logical replacement, and i'm not sure Arse away is the right place to make his full debut.

 Heskey will be gone in the summer, time to judge then i think.

Heskey shouldn't be selected under any circumstances, it's nothing against him personally but he's not good enough. He also has a detrimental impact on the rest of the team, Mcleish doesn't help himself.

First thing I hear when I get back in is Heskey to start.

I think I'm going to go straight back out.

Weimann up top is actually a natural choice.

Then I think we can either beat this horse to death or get behind him and the team.

The bench is pretty young - who is not in the 18? Fatty Dunne, Clacker, Zoggy, Delph, Fonz and Bent...anyone else?

My logical conclusion is that Heskey's playing on his own up front, with Gabby and Marc on the wings,
Yep I guess so.

It's time for Emile to prove his critics wrong.

But then, it always is.

Heskey?! WHY? We all know he's terrible and won't contribute anything other than heading the ball to no one or falling over intermittently.

It's going to be like Christmas when his contract finally runs out.
