The Prophet

Walt getting the Lewis Hall treatment.

Nah man, the sky is falling in.

That team has a very "we're going to try and press the fuck out of you" energy to it.

The time difference will make it nice and easy.

Pre-Barca, we'd won four of our last five away, the only defeat being a decent performance at City. I'm more confident we'll play alright today, than I am v Bournemouth next weekend.

I agree with the general point that we haven't always sold as well as we could have. That offer for Tripper came when we had circa 14 fit players though. Totally understand why we knocked it back.

Agreed. Pretty sure Howe knows what he's doing with Woltamade, he just needs a bit of patience.

It is however right to blame the board for allowing a situation where there was no executive management above Howe and he had to take that responsibility, along with Nickson and Howe. They were placed in a position that should never have transpired.

If City beat them and win their game in hand we'll see what they're made of.

Aye. I think there's a chance he could walk in the summer like. I don’t want him to, but it can't be ruled out.

One positive for this is that up until Barca, performances on the road were improving.

There's been quite a few, just with limited success.

I'm feeling a 0-0 thriller.

Not been in the pre-match thread?

Martin Hardy is about as reliable as my sphincter during a bout of norovirus. Hopkinson could well be a moron, but this report isn't evidence of it.

Interesting interview with Palmer from the weekend. Basically saying he can shoot without pain for the first time in months. Makes you wonder how many players are playing through injury, particularly at this stage of the season.

While I agree in principle, I doubt you'll find that kind of profile for less than £10 million.

Not a chance.

Neco Williams can cover. Both sides has improved loads over the last year or two. It'd make total sense to look at him if Forest go down.

Bit of column A, bit of column B.

Thought the VAR decision was correct, but the push in the back was a stone waller.

Feels like it's usually a drab draw.

PSG should be out of sight

Everything is coming up Arsenal. Imagine having Leverkusen, Sporting and Atleti to get a CL final.

Come on PSG, belt to ass.
