Does this despicable club have any redeeming features?

Can I fart the overture to Good King Wenceslas in G minor while swinging from the ceiling by my scrotum?

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

I expect Pep will go there to dominate them. If my memory serves me right he took his Barcelona team to Madrid and wiped the floor with them in their Bernabau, at least one time in particular.

My whole life I've spent going into these derby matches hoping one way or another to get over the line with a win. Not now. Not with this team. Not with an 8 point lead. I believe we should play with confidence. Take risks. Have absolute faith in what we do, and change nothing for these opponents.

Make them suffer.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

I so hope you’re right, mate. If we batter them and win by three or four it will absolutely floor them.

I think any win will finish them off. I expect them to huff and puff while we go about our job in a cold and clinical way.

It will be like Hatton v Mayweather. All week the rags have talked utter shite and been blowing their trumpet. in reality there is a gulf of class between us. They might rough us up during the early rounds but they just don't have enough quality when it comes to the crunch.

Be nice to hit the 50 Premier League goals tally, tomorrow ;-)

At the least, if we get to half time on level terms and somehow manage to keep 11 players on the pitch for the full 90 mins, then this game is ours.

Quite a few secure cash at the gate car parks on Village Way, up from Wharfside Way. Get there early though. And sing your heart out for the lads !

Cheers mate

It’s a strange one. We are the better team by far and one of the best teams in Europe right now.

At the same time we are vulnerable to counterattacking teams, we’re a little susceptible at corners and we struggle to get into our rhythm against teams that sit deep and defend. Basically all the things that Mourinho teams do well.

Put another way if you were to pick a side to cause us trouble they would be up there. There’s also a good chance we’ll be kicked from pillar to post and you’d want a decent referee. Instead we have lilylivered Oliver tomorrow.

I think they’ll start like train, hope to get in front early and then park the bus and hope to hit us on the counter.

They managed to end the Arsenal’s invincible run. They’ll be dying to do the same to us.

I’m worried that their desperation will get them over the line tomorrow. They have to win. We don’t.

My head says by hook, crook or dodgy refereeing they’ll get a result tomorrow. My heart says despite everything our wonderful team will find a way to win because we’re the best team in the league by far.

Pep said he's been looking at how to beat teams that defend deep and he's come up with a solution.
Fully expect him to implement that tomoz. Whatever it is. And if he does and it works, then he truly is a genius.

The first 45 mins last season were brilliant and I expect us to do that for 90 mins this time round, if matic is injured, he's going to be fucked when the drugs wear off.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I just hope Pep sticks to ours and his principles and plays our usual line up and formation, none of that going 5 at the back to match them up etc etc - the scum like attacking from their left and that suits us with Raz and Kyle that side.

It’ll be tough but I expect 3 points.

3-1 to the mighty blues.
