Pickford and Butland - 100% locks barring injury. Between Hart, Pope & Heaton for the final spot? Genuinely don't see how he can take Hart and retain any creditability given he said he wouldn't pick players who weren't playing for their club side (when asked about Wilshere earlier this year).

Butland to start for me.

Tighty, are you coming to the Brighton game?

Very sweet on Pieters this week. Finally time for him to get one over the line with the weight of my money dragging him down!

I've actually been pretty underwhelmed thus far. Very clear post Lions hangover going on.

-England stalling and getting stuck in third gear and Wales too injury hit to capitalise.
-Impossible to read anything into Italy games thought Ireland surely worse off for the Furlong and Henshaw injuries.
-Scotland naive enough in letting  a poor France stay close.

Not a vintage tournament so far.

That TMO decision was the worst I can recall in my time watching sport. Feel for the Welsh. The TMO has added a lot but yesterday was a shocker.

Heck of a play there, pulling off the trick play in an unusual spot to go for it on 4th down. Pederson has got some stones.

Looking forward to watching Rajasthan matches this year!

Gotta think Brighton are going down if they don't sign a striker and a set piece coach. I go to most of their home games and it's embarrassing how bad they are at defending corners. Mat Ryan is a very good shot stopper and a good distributor but he's 5'10 in heels and it seems to put the fear of God into the defenders. 15 set piece goals conceded now.

Horrendous run of fixtures from mid March til the end of the season and Chelsea next up.

Yeh, I'm still hanging in there. The winner must run so pure!

Well done, ripple. Thanks for running it, Tighty.

Agreed, real dearth of quality in the Stoke squad, possibly excepting Shaqiri who often flatters to deceive. Butland doesn't look the same keeper as pre-injury and it's tough to see where goals are coming from , Crouch still being the main weapon tells its own story. One thing in their favour is experience and nous but that is only ever going to carry you so far without a bit of quality in the team.

Fancy Russell Henley this week. Tidy enough spin round last week, excellent Bermuda green putter, former winner. Nice e/w chance at a fair price.

Will they sell Vibe and the winger Sergio Cano (think that's his name) in January?

Can never say never with Brentford but I'd be surprised if either went this Jan. Vibe highly likely to be off in summer though, unless Brentford go up. Quietly amassed the most goals in the Championship in the calendar year (that old chestnut) despite missing a fair few games through injury. Would be a perfect signing for Brighton given his skillset but that won't happen due to the owners' relationship.

Canos has a massive future but I think he'd be best served playing more games for Brentford right now. A premiership talent for certain though.

I'm convinced Brentford are going up this season. Wolves aside I don't think there is a better side in the division.
