Has he passed his late fitness test?

Pay up Culcheth White you owe 50p.

I think you should pay up! I charge a hefty interest rate as well.

Oh eck it's official, Spearing out for the season as link above suggests.How unlucky are we with injuries? someone up there hates us.

So he's played his last game for us?
Well thanks Jay for some great performances.
We may struggle in the midfield in the last few games now.

We need to recall Holden!!!

He said his interest rate is high, so pay up soon.

Spearing and dawson should be considered as must buys! If we had some money? Whittam you probably claim to have a lot of money, fancy lending the club some?

JAY Spearing has pledged to do “whatever it takes” to make himself available, if Wanderers make it all the way to Wembley.
As it stands, the on-loan Liverpool midfielder is due to have a protective cast taken off his broken toe the day after the Whites’ final game of the regular season against Blackpool.

He is almost certain to miss any play-off semi-final, should Dougie Freedman’s side succeed in their chase for the top six.

But Spearing, who was voted player of the year by members of the BWSA on Thursday night, told fans that he still harbours hope of pulling on a Wanderers shirt again.

“I’d do anything to play a part in the final,” he said. “If we get there, and I’m given a slight chance, I’d take it.

“When I heard the news that my toe was broken in three places I was absolutely devastated.

“The way the lads were playing and the way we were going towards the play-offs, it was horrible to think I wasn’t going to play a part.

“But, hopefully, I can still do something. Any way I could be involved, as long as the gaffer wanted me to come back in – I’ll be there.”

Spearing’s arrival from Anfield has been one of this season’s real success stories but Freedman has so far given no indication that he would be looking to recruit the 24-year-old ball winner on a permanent basis next season.

There was a similarly diplomatic response from the player himself. With his future anything but clear under Brendan Rodgers and one year remaining on his deal at Anfield, Spearing is also not ruling out a permanent Reebok return.

“I’m not going to say yes or no at this point and it probably won’t be for me to decide,” he said.

“The gaffer has got to want me in the first place, hasn’t he?

“But I’ll go away on holiday in the summer and then come back, sit down with Liverpool and with my agent to decide what happens.”

Chris Eagles dedicated his opening goal of the 2-1 win over Middlesbrough last week to Spearing, who was watching in an executive box with his wife and daughter.

But the tense experience has made him think twice about going to the Blackpool game next week – or even watching the highlights of today’s clash with Cardiff on the television.

“Watching the Middlesbrough game was bad enough but coming to the Reebok for the last game of the season will drive me absolutely insane,” he said. “I don’t think I could watch.

“When you know you should be playing and something like this happens to you, it’s devastating.

“There’s nothing I can do other than give the lads 100 per cent of my support.

“I said to the lads last week that if anyone scored they’ve got to come and find me, so when Eagles did, I was buzzing when he ran down and saw me. We’re all a close-knit bunch and that shows in the form we are in at the moment.”

In Spearing’s absence, Darren Pratley and Medo Kamara have commanded the midfield places, but Stuart Holden’s return from a spell on loan at Sheffield Wednesday also gives Freedman an option that the injured star believes is worth investigating.

“I’ve got no doubt Stu could get right back in there. You see on the pitch what he’s all about,” he said. “He’s gone out to Sheffield Wednesday and got games, shown his quality, so he could definitely fit in and take us through that last little bit.

“He’s solid and he knows all the lads. It would be brilliant if he could get that chance.”

He broke his toe in three places! Takes some doing, I'd think.

I was at Bristol when he broke his toe, but where were the other two places ?

Ok, you win.
