SW commentary is now working.

Now there is a virus going around the club. We're cursed I tell thee!

 

[clarkey]

Albion: (4-4-2) Kuipers; El-Abd, Virgo, Heath, Whing; Loft, Fraser, Dicker, Cox; Owusu, Davies. Subs: McLeod, Cook, Jarrett, Carole, Birchall.

DOUG LOFT WIDE RIGHT?!

Loft's left foot on the right, Cox's right foot on the left. Bizarre tactics, absolutely bizarre! But a right decision to play both. Or, maybe Slade was lying? Maybe Owusu alone up front, Davies on the right and Loft most advanced in the midfield trio?

sounds like Sir Norman is doing the co-commentary Loft plays Hmmmmmm!! will he score



hope so

Loft's left foot on the right, Cox's right foot on the left. Bizarre tactics, absolutely bizarre! But a right decision to play both.

Im guessing that it will be the other way round, and the official site has it wrong.

Also, Virgo and Fraser in same team in correct positions shocker!

Good team! Good positions (i.e. the correct positions)! Could we win??

Slade himself said Loft will be on the right, and El-Abd is at left back rather than Whing.

I am so glad he's playing Loft though, I really am. It's about bloody time, I really wish I'd gone to MK now.

maybe he has asked them to cut in and shoot?
or he is winding up MKD
or he just got the sequence wrong deliberately

who cares they will know where they are playing (he said crossing his fingers)

WE NEED PASSION

Just phoned Russ in MK , he has only seen one Maccy D fan so far , apart from Albion everywhere the locals are sporting Arsenal tops.

actually they are RED MK Dons tops - which from a reasonable distance (and to someone short-sighted) could be mistaken for Arsenal shirts -- other than the club crest logo and the sponsor of course
