Fair enough for me as I said earlier good luck to the lad. In regard to Crooks I would imagine if true many on here must be worried about him coming in to this game after so long out ? Can only be because Arundel unfit surely ?

Wrong, in your opinion!, he hasn't played for 3 months, to select him would be sentiment.

as good as horne was before his injury, he hasn't played since may! shaul hasn't done anything wrong and could be the ace up our sleeves if we get the offloads going!

What sort of message would it give to a player who's been performing brilliantly to be told that he won't be playing in the biggest match there is. Much as I like Horney, Jamie has to start at Wembley.

I'd be concerned about Crooks' fitness. On saying that, I very much doubt he'll play and expect Arundel will.

I've been told Crooks fit but Lineham out!

Crooks fit "rumour" seems to be gathering momentum

How can Horne be 18th man when we are?

i'll believe it when I see it, but mate of mine said they got it from a family member so fingers crossed

The thing with rumours though, is that the speed with which they spread seems to be influenced more by their desirability than credibility.

Do you think Arundel will have his fingers crossed for Crooks, ouch

And it won't end when PG announces his squad on Thursday if desired players are missing

Roll on 3pm on Saturday, when we'll know for sure, although this place would be quiet if we couldn't make stuff up

Absolutely. It's the same with rumoured signings.

I said crooks would be in the team yesterday and it will happen
