Looking like you were right all along.....

I guess.

It looks f***ing horrible

"Identical lettering" :dave:

Both pretty good tests. This is also the type of fixture we've tripped up on in recent years.

Loving the Sammy meme so far

Indeed but we've seen that he can certainly influence play from the right. Depends on his mindset really, if he's fired up, he'll cause us problems but if he's too fired up and tries to do too much (like he did at Villa last season), it could go in our favour.

Looks like Barton's starting on the right tonight . Would definitely fancy us to score looking at their defence though. Hmmm.... Can't see Barton posing too many problems down the right, even Raylor should be comfortable with Jonas giving defensive support. In fact I think Barton will have his hands full just keeping Jonas in check so will probably sit pretty deep just like he did for us. Hope so like but Barton being used in his best position could cause us problems as well imo. We'll see tonight.

I've hated them ever since a certain Neil Warnock became their manager. Honestly can't stand the cunt.

Shame that this has become so tbh.

That's what the show is about though isn't it? "The show claims to have discovered the identities of dozens of footballers who have failed drugs tests for cocaine and cannabis. " Indeed.

Once the player is named, then surely a ban would be coming his way and the FA will have to face the repercussions for covering it up?

If it did turn out to be Carroll (nee chance imo) then this story is the last thing he needs atm.

Mackems have got a good deal there though Bruce will probably spend it on someone s***.

Are there still going to be scheduled backups btw?

would you be happy if Simpson was our RB for the next 5 years? wouldn't mind him being a squad player over next 5 years tbh But I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm still hoping he'll turn into a great RB.... That is never going to happen. He is 24 and he is s*** scared when in possession of the ball, he struggles to control anything more than a basic pass, he can't beat a defender and his passing is usually a 5 yarder or a long aimless punt upfield. He is a very limited right back, at best he is decent defensively BUT he won't ever be a great RB, not even close Time will tell I guess, just going to have to see how this season goes for him. We'll/I'll be able to make a proper judgement on him come May time.

Tbh I'm only ever fairly sure that we'll lose a game, games like this could be a win, draw or loss and there are a lot that seem to fit into that category, this season and last. Those games in Manchester in November f***ing terrify me.
