About to head out to a pub here in Sydney to catch it. I know we're 90 min out but is there any team news? Have Ade/Given/Nedum passed fitness tests?

[The Original Special One]

I've just heard on FiveLive that Richards starts!!
Be afraid,.....be VERRRRY afraid.

And with SWP's continuing poor form, our right flank looks very exposed
(Toure must have won the coin toss with Dunne!)

[xavi6]

Fuck me. SWP in the middle and no De Jong?

Strange
