3 changes to the team today. Shola in for Bellamy, Bernard in for Robert, and Distin in for Dabs.

5 Live said Robert was playing. I'm kind of glad he's not as I doubt he's fully fit. We've always got Dyer for the second half too.

-- Anonymous, December 15, 2001

Yep, Dyer on the bench along with Griffin and Dabs, also Luax2 and Harper. Glad to see we're finally taking Robert's injury seriously and also giving Dabs a rest.

It's -5 deg in Brussels. Under 10's football cancelled because of frozen pitch this morning, disappointing young Brian after his 6 goal midweek debut for new team. Let's have six this afternoon instead - it sounded like we really held our own at Chelsea on Wednesday, so let's get ourselves back in gear this afternoon.
