Those fuckers (Liverpool) have been inflating the market for years. First a world record for defender, and then a world record for keeper was it not? Yeah Chelsea are somewhat despicable, but Liverpool and it's fans have been for some 40 years. And they now have the most awful manager by some margin.

After today, a score draw seems a realistic prospect. But wouldn't be disappointed with a loss so long as we fucking crucify Liverpool and that contemptible, bullying wanker Klopp afterwards

Ah right. My wife kept telling me it was Tonali who was booked earlier

Red card for Tonali?!! He had a second yellow when walking off

My word

Looked like Villa were bossing it in midfield. Feel lucky to be ahead. Can't see this finishing 2-1. Though Almiron has been a bit shit as well.

Believe it when I see it. Probably bollocks. Still think Villa will edge this, but had a bit of a shit Saturday so far, so this is now absolutely a 100% must win to cheer me up!

Man City's spend on current defenders is also probably more than the cost of our entire squad?

A couple of people have mentioned Castle Leazes student resi as possible location. Unfortunately, Newcastle University are pushing ahead with it's redevelopment quite soon.

Keeping an eye on the Guardian writers' average prediction. Guessing they'll place us either 6th or 8th. Would be very happy with 6th myself. 1. City 2. Arse 3. Man U 4. Liverpool 5. Chelsea 6. ? 7 Villa 8. ? 9. Brighton

I wonder if the coaching team were allowed to choose their shoes

Mental price for a young, somewhat unproven right back with a potentially dodgy ACL. But other than Wood, we don't have a recent history of rash or poorly researched buys, so should come good.

Goods news if true. Just want a top quality CB/LB and we're happy?

We'll score, but fear our defence will take a spanking. 1-3.

Bit nervous my tickets are going to be useless come the Fiorentina game. I don't have a smart phone, but my mam (who I'm taking) does. Could I put both tickets on her phone then swipe between tickets?

£5m per season

We basically need to double our commercial income again to be a permanent top 6 challenger? Could do with some juiced up sponsorships in the next couple of years, yet somehow avoid getting blocked on fair value.

Had to go to bed at half time again Villa and Brighton fans now seem convinced by their superiority over us. They both made a real effort, but don't think we've played anywhere near our strongest team and/or likely formation at any point?

The new Hugo Viana tbh

This is shambolic. Villa are humiliating us.

Villa looking well drilled. We're a bit disorganised.

Fuck, hope this isn't a drubbing. Would rather we were just playing some MLS team tbh.

Villa are going to a force to be reckoned with next season. First match could be very uncomfortable. Think 6th should be our own realistic target for next season, so would be sorta happy for Villa to deny one of the breakaway 6 a CL place if it's not to be us.

Recently into watching Peep Show. Thoroughly enjoyed the thieving mackem episode last night

Finally managed to buy the tickets! Next challenge is how to handle digital tickets when you have a dumb phone
