Hopefully this is as bang on as your previous predictions…

Least the cunt’s cup-tied.

Hospitality now on sale for Villa, Bournemouth and Man City. A bit ‘cheaper’ than normal for the two cup games.

Really need him for that first leg against Man City with Schar being suspended.

Both using a mobility scooter.

Have they ever seen Wissa?

Only to find out it’s been cancelled because the doctors are on strike.

Casemiro isn’t suspended and Mainoo obviously isn’t a starter. So at best/worst it’s six, and it’s probably questionable whether Maguire, De Ligt and Mazraoui all start together.

Did Isak not just waive the loyalty bonus? *presumably on account of not being very fucking loyal…

Second season in a row Fernandes has bailed out of this fixture

Tyneside voodoo dolls coming up trumps this weekend.

That Micky van de Ven seems like a really good bloke.

All the major journo’s reporting this at the same time, so have obviously been briefed by the club. Not really sure why?

The only games where we’ve had the kind of low possession numbers that would in anyway back this theory up, would be: Liverpool (h) Barcelona (h) Arsenal (h) Man City (h) and you can probably discount the Liverpool one due to the red card. So basically versus three of the most elite teams in Europe.

They were clearly targeting him with kick outs from the keeper in the first half yesterday. Assume they thought Neto would be able to get the better of him aerially and physically. They were wrong.

Unquestionably his best game for us (not a massively high bar granted). Felt like he was actually influencing the game, rather than just taking part in it.

Who’s your third CB?

Tbf his aim probably will be to get them promoted. Free advertising in League One wouldn’t really seem worth the hassle, even in a fairly big stadium.

So that would be a great way for him to show he’s really committed to the achieving the best possible outcome for the club, and not just swooping in on a distressed asset. I wonder if he’ll up his bid….

So if he bids a bit more, they’ll avoid the 15 point penalty?

Majority of PL away ends are safe standing now.

Estevao out for them (insert world’s smallest violin…)
