I saw us win there once… …I’m predicting the same score line.

Their ears might really prick up next week.

Try not to worry, apparently he was likely bladdered before kick-off ?‍♂️

Having that photo up somewhere. Don’t know where but it’s going on display!

Eddie looks emotional. He really wanted this.

Get in! Fucking great ball Tonali.

I’d like to see Longstaff come now.

Shit throwing self to floor by Sandro! ?

Wilson and who else coming on?

It is a just world.

Big Joe should have followed that in.

Beautiful goal!!

Longstaff for Bruno. Controversial, but Tonali isn’t coming off.

He’s fucked like.

Someone has to take on the mantle!

He’s been picked because he has had a great summer and looks in amazing form. Big season for the lad.

Get the beers in bonny lad! About to retire to the sofa behind a mini-mountain of Wainwright!

Surprised (and excited … and hopefully delighted!) that first time we see the ‘Brun-dro’ pairing is when it counts. Having Joelinton alongside as well. Fantastic. Hope it is a tactical master stroke and they have looked electric in training.

Loving the line-up. Should be a great game, looking at Villa’s selection as well. Glad no Buendia, he looked on fire preseason.

Yep… first time I have selected him.

I’ll put this here now, as this thread is surviving last season and I think we’re aiming for sixth. The tracker takes into account the relative difficulty of games using the assumptions described in the hidden post below.

To be fair, it’s much better than the Mexican craic ?‍♂️

I think we’re probably done, bar any waifs and strays who are available to bolster the squad. Also think there’s another surprise worldy signing to be announced! (Yes, as a kid I was often disappointed on Christmas morning).

First ‘Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda’ of the season, couldn’t decide between Rodri and Stones for my other Citeh pick—went for Stones… . Captained Isak instead of The Kurgen… . Let’s hope latter proves sensible: “There can be only one!”

South Shields? Nah.
