EARLY MASS, TRAIN journeys to Hueston and the scramble for tickets.

RTÉ’s pre-match promo evokes All-Ireland final days through the years and is sure to set to tone for a traditional match-up of two of hurling’s aristocrats this afternoon:

    Pires played with Lauren for 6 years and went unbeaten for a whole season, winning the double on two occasions. He played with Dixon for 2 seasons.

    He also trains with Arsenal on a regular basis, which may explain why he has picked current players rather than players like Ian Wright, with whom he has never played.

    As for Fabregas’ omission, I think Bobby understands the difference between a player who forces his way out of a club and a player who forces his way into a club, which is exactly what Coquelin did after being on the brink of fading into obscurity last season.

    Cazorla’s inclusion is questionable. Apart from that I see little issue with it.

    Cole forced his way out.. Also I wouldn’t say Fabergas forced his way anymore than Veria..

    Brady, Wright and Dixon have to be in the team. Strong shout for Overmars and Fabregas. O’Leary surely at least on the bench.

    Wouldn’t mind having some of those name on the team sheet now. Sanchez will become an Arsenal ledge but Wright is one. Not sure if Manu Petite should be missing. Choqulin also learning his trade and becoming the defensive midfielder we’ve lacked for last 6 or 7 years

    I would put Lehmann in goals, surely he would have more clean sheets than Seaman
