		His innovations were far-reaching, from wooden shoes and bathrobes for the players to prevent them catching cold whilst getting out of the showers to made to measure lightweight continental boots for all the players.

		I will never forget how dominant the Spurs defence was when they beat us at home, with Dawson winning nearly everything thrown into the box.
		I feel Pearce should start with Musampa and then bring Riera on as a replacement, I also think that occasionally, Musampa could be useful in the middle (left) of midfield alongside Barton, and Ireland seems to have lost that spark he had early in the season.
