    Likelihood of Ivan starting at right back
    Highly likely that it is likely.

    Which Matic will show up?

    Will Courtois talk?

    No, he's hoping for a move back to Spain in the summer.

    Beer pairing
    Hull rhymes with "pull." Why does that matter? It doesn't.

    My wife was in Los Angeles this past week and while she didn't bring me any beer, it got me thinking - is there anything worthwhile in Los Angeles? Turns out, there might be.

    Golden Road Session IPA
    Session IPA's are the best thing to happen to aging IPA lovers like myself. Many hate the flavor but I quite enjoy it - you just need to know when to stop or have some water. This LA session is quite good.

    Angel City Pilsner
    If you want something light and in the spirit of Oktoberfest, this isn't bad.

    Beachwood Porter
    Beachwood is one of the top breweries in LA (Long Beach, technically) and this porter is a favorite. Malty, mocha-y, coffee-y.

    If we lose, it will be a crisis. If we win, I will be indifferent. It is not like we have turned any corner.

    I think we draw. Still a crisis.

    If you are from London Hull does not rhyme with Pull but rather with gull. Also the word is that Brana will be dropped!

    I normally head up north for this game but the friends I stay with are away this year, so it will be the Ryder cup on TV for me this afternoon, but I guess we will be supporting different teams in that clash.

    Conte Says: "We don't have a magic wand to change the situation in a few months. We must work hard together and we are doing this. We must understand that only through hard work can we close the gap."

    And I am not sure how we can close the gap with our current squad of players and our obvious gaps in defenders and our team is unbalanced no matter how you try to play and whatever system the fact remains that this team lacks spirit.

    We have yet to control a single game this season. I don't see this changing today.

    ********ing Moses.

    Ivan finally dropped. When JT and Zouma come in, I expect Cahill to be gone as well.

    We look asleep early on.

    Also, when Victor Moses is the answer, you're asking the wrong questions.

    Willian, 8 yards of space at the top of the box, doesnt shoot and plays in a shit pass to Hazard. No killer instinct. None.

    Not much different when we would lump it up to Drogba and hope for a miracle. And they so this team doesnt have a style.....

    In that team, there were around 5 players who could score. Now we have 1.

    It really is amazing that group of talented players like this seems to create so few chances on goal. Hull's shot from distance was better than anything we came up with.

    The managers keep changing, but nothing ever changes on the field

    The common denominator is the players.
