Aye I'm absolutely buzzin. Made my weekend as per when we win.

Just a horrible watch, need the game of two halves scenario to come through.

Haven't a clue but he's definitely got inside Info from his previous posts. By the way I'd hoped they both started too.

Ando has Barnes on the bench.

Starting going away in the 79/80 season regularly. Took me about 25 trips before I witnessed a win. The trips to Shrewsbury, Exeter, Cambridge, Oldham ect still hurt.

A win is a must if we've any chance of 6th or, for me, even real confidence of 7th. Chelsea have two winnable games next up and I'd be happier staying ahead of them. We're in the mix but we need to step up. We might be missing a team full of players but that doesn't prevent hope.

Don't think it was ever anything other than cramp (in Everton match) but Hall is in training pics.

I think a Chelsea win if we're looking at 6th but Man U if our aim is 7th. Personally i can't see us overtaking Man U so unfortunately it maybe more beneficial for them to win.

Quick look at Fulham's injury list, not a single injury. They're favourites, given our injuries and away form I'd say that's fair.

*Obviously it's a wait and see the details moment but this sounds promising from our point of view. There's definitely a need to protect clubs from dodgy owners and/or overspending but the current rules are falling somewhat short. It's the hope that kills you but at least we've got discussion.

It's 32 games so two more i believe.

No excusing it.

I'm an extremely pessimistic fan but yes it was definitely on at 3-3, it's pretty sad that some left. Mind when I had my season ticket I used to guess that there was about a minute left and then I'd go to an empty seat right next to the exit. Folk around me might have thought I always left early.

There's a Motel 1 on Highbridge, apparently.

Aye thought it'd be.

Great match to witness for those who've travelled from far and wide. Enjoy the remaining weekend in the sun (realise it's cold) around the toon.

So we're needing Villa and Liverpool wins for our own European hopes. Obviously Brentford as well but that seems a bit less likely.

Seems to be yes, was mentioned in commentary 32 games for the 10 yellow ban.

Probably needed, but wouldn't have got, a rest on Tuesday anyway and H Barnes will do as a replacement.

Read the match thread for even more uplifting chuckles. We've spoilt Easter man.

Have you listened to the press conference? Especially the second journalists further questioning, Eddie Howe does suggest Botman trusted his own judgement/body over what the manager/team wanted.

Don't think people are saying we should have physically forced the op but simply have done everything (more) to convince him it was the best and only long term solution.

Common sense, yer I know, would be a further sentence but suspended. Keeps everyone satisfied.

Bruno starts again tonight against Spain. Was hoping he'd get a rest.

Gordon on bench tonight, good news.
