I've had an early start and going for an outrageous 4-0. By the time I get to the Amex it could be 6 or 7 (goals not pints).

Without trailing through threads...has Skalak got international clearance to play tonight?

He's Czech. EU national. Clearance not required.

Setting off shortly. Can't wait.

EDIT: That's work permit not required. International Clearance seems to be a little different and relates to the FA having ensured no contractual loose ends. I therefore revise my answer to "I don't know". Apologies.

I've eaten more Cornish Brie than is humanly possible, so for that reason 2-0, Knockaert brace, both from freekicks.

Well the club said it was in the announcement.........but looks as though they were expecting it before today. A formality I'd think.
