In its day, this place would have been rammed full of stupid opinions. And not just Monty's either. :nono:

Rested for spurs and at the same time, gives him a reminder that he needs to perform. Good management.Quote:

Ffs
I know he’s like their Maradona but they’re never going to learn if they can’t beat Gibraltar without him.
Indeed. One had rather hoped we'd all moved on from all that sort of *******s now that the SFC is gone.Quote:

I have no idea for why he was left out yesterday but keeping him fresh for Spurs would seem a little bizarre.

True but he does seem to have ongoing back issues and perhaps UE was just taking precautions?Quote:
