I see that Richard Keys thought Jack was terrible.

I've made an appointment at Vision Express for Keys!!!






I use Specsavers so no way am I going to the same opticians as that stupid dill weed nincompoop. (I like that word dill weed!!! :-) )

20 degrees and sunny in London on Saturday, been a while since an afternoon game in the sun. Should be a good day for everyone going down, enjoy!

Rodri must be given a rest for Madrid. It may lead to a loss of points but we need to improvise. Not having a suitable backup does not warrant running this guy into the turf
The away game in Madrid is potentially the toughest game of the season we need our main asset properly rested. He must be fully rested or on the bench for the next two league games. It is beyond ridiculous that he is given the work load he has.

I think he'll be rested against Luton. I don't see us taking him out for an away game at a team that has had success against us on the counter attack.

Obviously going to get fuck all from Var with the cheat Attwell on it, but with Tierney you just dont know what mood he is in. Last 3 PL game he has booked 7,5 and 9 and the 3 before that just 1,2 and 1.
Been okay this season for us with the win at the Rags, Home draw v Palace and Cup win at Spurs but also had a extremely dodgy Dippers performance for them v Chelsea with a few dubious goals and 4 Chelsea players carded in the 1st half alone and of course his most recent Dippers Gift for their added time winner at Forest

He got 20 mins last night and will get similar again at the weekend if we’re in a position to do so.

There was heavy rotation last night, with Pep highlighting the lack of recovery time, so the chances of the team being the same as last night are next to none.

I’s guess that Bernardo and Foden being rested, with maybe Grealish too, depending on how he came through the game last night. Haaland coming back in too.

This will be a severe smashing 5 or 6 nil

Malg will try and wum us we'll get smashed 5 or 6 nil ; )

To be honest, it’s an early kick off and Palace will want to bounce back from their defeat at Bournemouth. They’ve got Eze and Mateta.

Looking like it’ll be a proper dog fight. We’ll do well to get a 1-1.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Dinner time KO at Palace after a midweek game. Oh boy !! I cant wait !!!!!

That's very Malg-esque; )

One eye on Madrid game in this.

Hope pep goes strong & we try to win it in first half then make subs.

Bernie needs a rest for me & give Nunes a run.

 

[city warrior]

Tough selection. Not only we have Madrid, but we also just had one of our best match of the season. Against Madrid, Rico cannot play (Vinicius would eat him alive), so we might want to give Stones some minutes and Akanji plays as a RB.

We should rest Bernardo for Kovacic, and then maybe Foden for KDB. Give Bobb a starting chance. Alvarez/Haaland is a really tough decision, because I imagine Haaland will start against Madrid, but I would prefer Alvarez for his pressing. Hopefully we can get a 2-3 goal advantage by the 60th min and rest Rodri.

 

[kaz7]

Is this tierney and twatwell on var or did i dream that ?

 

[r.soleofsalford]

I don't get this analysis at all. I thought Grealish put in a very good performance where he kept the ball, manoeuvred their defence about and added to the tempo of our play. I thought he showed us exactly what we've been missing for much of this season.

I think Richard Keys is showing us exactly what we’ve been missing since he got fucked off for shagging his daughters friend.

Please stay in Dubai or wherever you are you hairy handed despicable grooming ugly old twat.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Feel a lot better about this after our full on energy filled game last night. The games before we were starting to look a bit laboured and jaded but last night was bang on the money. Unleash Kev and Erling and watch Palace pay the price of them missing last night. C'MON CITEH!!!!

 

[jimharri]

The bald guy has some decisions to make, following last night's performance (particularly the second half). Foden's best position is in the 10 role, which is also Kev's. Also, does Erling come back in? Or does he keep the two of them for the Bernabeu next week?
