we're gonna do it. And we'll do it with our best team, all playing at their best. Not some half-fit players.

This time next week I'm gonna be smashed through celebrating, and that means playing fit players.

Spoke to AP at races he said Lineham In. Spoke to PG he said yeamo out. spoke to our lass she said chips for tea I know which one I believe

I've said most of the season our name is on the cup , so I reckon no matter what team we put out we"ll be seeing Gareth pick the cup up . As long as we have 17 fit players who give there all it's ours .

This is like Mastermind game. 1 right , 1 wrong but in right position and 2 just plain wrong lol

Tickle looks fine on the BBC Breakfast sofa

Yeah just saw that, he said he cannot wait for it. My thoughts on Tickle after seeing him on national TV is that he will play.

I assumed he was on the program because he's one of the few, who lives over near the Manchester bbc studio. That said, his kicking will be vital next week, so unless he cannot walk he'll be playing!

Don’t you mean “you read it here first”? but whatever, I hope you men put out the side you want and it’s another classic, I’m sure it will be, but I can’t wish you too much luck. You may not need it! lol.

He just walked into Toatl Fitness about half an hour ago for 'a few extra's' and looked fine!

He's getting close, but he's about another week away.

Any news on Yeaman, Wilf?

The HDM say today that Tickle, Arundel and Yeaman should all be OK. Lineham hasn't been ruled out although is doubtful and Horne is pushing hard for a place in the squad.

Ben Crooks, McDonnell and Galea are definitely out.
