Doctor Zaius

Our biggest league game of the season so far imo. Think it pretty much defines the rest of our campaign. Win here, and we're right in contention for 6th. 4 points off Man Utd, with four decent fixtures before Man Utd and Spurs, then another four decent fixtures to round off our season. Lose and we remain 10th, Chelsea on our heels and 7 points from Man Utd which is a big, big ask. I guess a draw isnt the end of the world. Chelsea are always going to be a threat, given the quality of their players but we've got players back, options from the bench and we're reasonably well rested. A good litmus test of where we're at going into the last ten games. A big performance needed.

He's worth close to that. No suprise the wheels have come off when he's been injured

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-68515495 These cunts better not get a single bit of funding from the government. It's not a new national stadium, it's a stadium for Man Utd. We already have a national stadium, we don't need another.

The 'High Performance Podcast' interview by Jake Humphrey is behind a £6.99 paywall. See below: https://www.football365.com/news/jake-humphrey-mason-greenwood-gazza-mediawatch

Humphrey putting the interview with him behind a paywall is peak Humphrey behaviour. Utter cunt. Cynical and exploitative.

With Trippier out, I wonder if we'll see him on for Burn? Might be Krafth instead like. #FreeLewisHall

Why did Merino leave again? Rafa not fancy him?

They wont go down like. Theyll be looking to sell Clarke for 20M+ and have to invest it wisely.

Think he'll go with this for the Euros: Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Chillwell Rice Phillips Bellingham Saka Kane Foden I dont think Southgate trusts TAA in midfield. He might drop Bellingham back as a holding midfielder and stick Foden in as a 10, but I think thatll be too expressive for Gaz and he'll prefer to have Foden shunted out wide and a bang average Phillips holidng who he can substitute for Henderson to come on and point and shout lots.

Centre of town is no one set place but you cant get into SJP within 10 minutes on a matchday. If you're at, say the Bigg Market, the time it would take to get into SJP or a stadium at the arena is negligible. Quicker from the train station too. The arena site is the best you're going to get for a location imo, without moving too far out of town or having to negotiate levelling a Grade II listed Victorian public park (which is pie in the sky imo).

Would absolutely take a draw here.

and why is Ivan Toney presenting the Brit awards?

That'll do nicely. Man Utd loss and City another step closer to winning the league once again, demonstrating that the league really is a pointless endeavour

He's firing a bow and arrow like a gun though. Pulls the bow back and then pulls a trigger. Nonsense.

Drury is genuinely awful. These pre rehearsed lines. So so disingenuous. Ruins the moment every time.

Doku is wasteful like.

That team is honking like

Hope that England team get embarrassed

Could bring David Platt into midfield? Norris Cole up top?

Keith Pattersons letter to the Premier League will be one looked back on in years to come

Could do a lot worse.

A midweek FA Cup 5th round game, away at a Championship side with a new manager is always going to be tough. Players raise their game, the whole club would have been up for it, increased attendance, first time in the 5th round v a Prem club in x amount of years etc. They played well.

They seem to be reliant on Neto. Game changed when he went off at Molineux. Start Tino, not Burn.

They've been really good tbf

We're poor in possession and have been alllllll season
