One of my brothers mates know nicky shorey and he told him the Friday before the arsenal game blakey and kitson had big bust up in training and coppell had to pick just one, so decided on kitson as little was not hundred percent fit. Intersting what will happen this saturday.
I'm getting fed up of hearing all these bloody rumours about players having bust ups just because someone hasn't been played in a particular game.
Kits dropped because of bust up with shorey, shorey dropped because of bust up with kitson, Little dropped because of bust up with kitson. blah blah blah
So am I. Training ground bust ups are a regular occurance at most clubs but rarely do they effect selection policy. Fact is the players selected do not have to love each other to play together effectively. There are countless examples of players not getting on off the pitch making effective partnerships. Little didn't play Saturday because it was not worth the risk of losing him for the games we can win.
WHat SC said is that GL is a ball -player - "he needs the ball at his feet to work his magic, and he won't get very much of it against a team like Arsenal."
