Yes, because both sets of players will be reading this.
I'm reading it, and dreading having to re-read all these over confident assumptions that we will walk all over them, away from home. Really hope we do, obviously, but this is tempting fate in the most horrific manner.
Why point out how shite they are just before we play them? If we hammer them, then we can relax and take the piss. It's just asking for egg on face tbh.
My prediction? 0-8 toon
