Luke Edwards: I’m lead to believe Harvey Barnes is out for the season with a 1st degree pancake burn to the eyeball sustained today at the club training ground.

People said Chris Wood was worth less than fuck all but we got £17m for him. Joelinton is easily worth more than we paid for him, he’s an absolute phenom. His numbers last year were ‘elite’ in a team that smashed the premier league all over. Really hope we keep him.

I’d be disappointed if we didn’t get a proper look at Howe-ball with better players.

You can make a case for any result favouring us here - personally I’d take a draw.

Is the shoulder injury coming from anywhere other than the footage of him pretending he hurt it to cover the attempted elbow?

Definitely. Schar is on the touch line at rb

Our run of form isn’t shit though…last 5 games we are won 3, drawn 1, lost 1 (narrowly to city).

Brave considering double game week on the horizon.

If you ignore the context in which those risks were taken & the available options (or lack of) to taking them then yes; Howe is an idiot. Or if actually consider all of the contextual information we have and still arrive at the same conclusion; you are an idiot.

Agreed but we’ve seen first hand how much bench strengths impacts outcomes.

IS the notts forest game on telly at all?

I'd say it's pretty significant, great news.

Wheels coming off for villa's season? certainly hope so.

Chances of this getting down to 0 points?

I banked on city with Haaland (c), KDB and Alvarez. Of course the guy I’m trying to catch at the top my mini league has Foden ??‍♂️

Long bus ride dystopian nightmare ?

Come off it, that’s a gilt edge chance for any premier league quality player. I love Murphy but he’s had 2 tap ins at the back post in a week and fluffed them both. Got lucky with the Villa one.

Imagine being a local lad, have a stinker and then getting rinsed by Shearer immediately afterwards. Stuff of nightmares.

Fancy Wilson to nick it now.

Howay lads let’s do these fuckers!

I really try not too emotional in the match day thread but this is embarrassingly shit.

We can’t loan him as you can’t have more than 1 player from another prem team on loan. And we already have Hall from Chelsea.

Losing lascelles on a free is a blow, he definitely has value - decent player, model pro, prem experience.

He’s injured anyway I think.

Fucking get in lads.
