Oh no, that's not the team I'd play. I posted my team about a page or 2 ago, that's just how I think Hodgson will line up whilst simultaneously including the 3 specified players.

You'd have a five man midfield with wingers and two strikers?

Cov played Henderson on the right wing when he was on loan to us years ago, he was ace. Not to say he's gone downhill since, but I bet he sometimes finds himself searching the field for David Bell and crying a solitary wistful tear.

Surely Kane and Vardy both have to play, they have both been on top form, and not playing either would mean us not having our best goalscoring options on the pitch.

I think both Kane and Vardy deserve to play and start, as they both have been far too good to not play either.
For example England played in Euro 96 with only Shearer as an out and out striker despite having the best crop of strikers around at the time. Decision have to be made rather than shoe-horning players in. |

Just dropping in to ask the question
Is there anything in the premier league rule book that states all games on the final day have to be concluded on that date. And was there enough time for the game to be played last night |

I wouldn't have thought so. It can't be easy to hastily rearrange a football match with upwards of 70000 attendees and all the staffing and infrastructure that goes along with it.

So if they both were to play I would have a central midfield of Henderson and Dier to create that pathway to allow say a Rooney or an Ali to perform in "the hole". Then you could play two wider players to do what they should be good at. If you don't want Wilshere to go because he's been injured and hasn't performed well for a consistent run of games then the same applies to Jordan Henderson. 23 players will go. Not all 23 players will be guaranteed to play, and they know this, and there's a chance that a few of them will know who they are. If Rashford is one of the 23 he'll probably be aware that he's one who might not get any game time, especially if we play one up top. Wilshere may well fall in this category. With 23 players you can afford to take a chance on players like Wilshere and Sturridge who you know can deliver if they are fit. If they stay fit during the tournament it's a bonus, and you can benefit from it. If they pick up an injury then it doesn't have to be a disaster unless they were considered key players, if the team was going to be built around them. |

Chelsea & Spurs fines over failing to control their players.
Chelsea got a charge of £375,000 whilst Spurs got a charge of £225,000 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/...linkname=sport Hope this is a lesson sent out to all clubs. |

Why were Chelsea fined more than Spurs? Seems bizarre.

Prior to this fixture, Chelsea had breached FA Rule E20 on four separate occasions and Tottenham Hotspur twice since November 2014. http://www.thefa.com/news/governance...m-fined-160516 So perhaps the FA took into account the worse more recent conduct of Chelsea compared to Spurs. Doesn't persuade me, I admit, but it's all I can find. |

Seems like a weeks wages to the 'stars' of the PL
Money will never stop repeats- only points deductions, ground closures and bans |

Would have hoped the FA said the next time it happens with these two clubs then it would be a points deduction. Fines don't really cut it.

I wonder when the FA will punish West Ham for the terrible behaviour of their fans before our match with them?

That made me blink very quickly as well. I went along to the FA web site and all I could find that might possibly give a clue is the following,

Isn't it out of their jurisdiction if outside the ground and a police matter?

So eye gouging was deemed a more serious incident yet the club involved got fined less. Chelsea hard done by in my opinion
On the subject of the OT fiasco. I dont know what the cut off time was for the game not to be played yesterday but surely if there had been enough time to play the game last night then perhaps it should have been played. |

You can only delay something so long before you have to reschedule it.

Someone deserves to be punished for what was simply unacceptable behaviour, no team no matter who they are should have their bus smashed up like that.
What more do you want? |
