[give it to gordon]

no, you're quoting from the details for the train services on Avanti's website, where the trains take 10 hours or something with stopover/changes - this is direct Rail Replacement Bus Services which are being sorted out as we speak, since the cancellation yesterday. I have been told this by AvantiWestCoast Customer Service on X/Twitter

Just been reading on my WhatsApp group to get back to kent is 13 hrs !. The coach stops in Nottingham for a few hours. Dont know how true that is

that is what is quoted on the Avanti website - I'ts been there since the schedules were announced - about the journeys that take 12 hours overnight, breaking up the journey - what i'm quoting is 'new', 'as Live'' info from the Avanti Customer Service on X

You fucking sure ???

Did Sterling ever turn up against the red scouse?

Toughest game of the season so far. Chelsea will start their push for a CL place today. Palmer and Sterling will be right up for it and as Blues we know Raheem turns up big time against his previous clubs. We're still finding our way against the 'big six'.

I'd take 1-1 right now and move onto the next game.

I will be overjoyed if we don’t give away another goal before we score.

Big ask…..

Well played

 

[Big mals fedora]

With Ake back in his best position, Stones pairing with Dias, and Walker on the usual right, that's the defensive lineup that won us everything last season. I can't see Chelsea getting anything today. City 6-0 Chelsea!

Agree. Think we’ll pump these cockney chavs today

Reminder

 

[red 2 hats]

Gonna miss the match today, not even watching on the TV.
Would love a clean sheet, football wise, and a Haaland hat trick, keep Palmer quite, I couldn't handle the wankathon if he's half decent.

He will be half decent. If he had shown the other half whilst at City he might have just shoved Mahrez, Foden or Bernardo onto the bench. The fact he didn't just shows he's only half decent, but how the RDAHMeedya would love a Cole winner!

 

[normskih]

Yawn fucking yawn

It must be tongue in cheek as Chelsea aren’t in the top 6 and didn’t finish top 6 last season, in fact they finished 12, would you believe a full 45 points behind us.

You may be right with this one. I’d have Bernardo in and Alverez out with Phil central but I get a strong feeling that Alvarez has been made promises of starts. I suppose we’ve a game Tuesday so he can come back for that one.

He does it every week. Wasn’t funny the first time he did it, and it gets even less funny every week

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Have a feeling we’ll batter these today.

Since when does pep make a promise to any player to start ?

I've not had that feeling since Mancini left!
