Will be following the MT from sunny Florida whilst walking around Animal Kingdom, it's only half 9 here
BTW did you know Americans don't seem to do advent calendars, can't find one anywhere

There was one in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation so they must know what they are. It didn't have any chocolate behind each door though so I don't know whether they do that.

Oh and let's we're singing 'Jingle Bells' late and we bring home all 3 points.

Americans wouldn't be able to eat chocolate one day at a time. It'd be all gone by the first.


The food over here is bad, and I'm no slim Jim myself
The stuff they serve up in the parks is uneatable and v expensive,

Anyway a win here and we can virtually say good bye to QPR I reckon

I think their strength is in their midfield, and Herd is probably physically our strongest option in there. As such it makes sense. Him and Westwood sitting with Bannan in front would be my guess. Going toe to toe in the centre is the area is important. I am pretty confident Gabby and Weimann will hurt the full backs and Benete could have some real fun against Hill and Nelson

It might be difficult for Weimann to hurt them (at least for a good while).

Yep, agree with that.  Herd providing the energy and Westwood / Bannan the composure and ball retention.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to go for the Woodward option for the first time in ages, doubt he has improved - big game and an early goal would be great.

This made me LOL, as the young'uns say.

Weird that Herd comes in just like that, with KEA on the bench. When did he last feature for us?

Greetings from a dull, overcast White City. I've just left Mr Woodhall outside the ground where he's fleecing the good people of West London out of their hard earned two quids.

Hard earned ? It easy to get work and earn money down there isn't it ?

Looks like 4-5-1 with Herd, Bannan and Westood in the middle and Holman and Gabby wide. Benteke up top on his own.

It's a Bent-suitable formation if Lambert wants to exchange strikers. If Bent wants to send a message to his manager, he'll probably get the chance today

Come On You Lions.
I'm starting to feel a little confident that we'll win this one.
