I'll still be "working" (FH) at KO, so I'll definitely see the first half, if we're a few up (or down) by HT, I'll go to bed at 3, when my shift finishes.

I’ve seen it advertised as 9pm UK time kick off?

I’m not going through the double pain of getting up at 2am AND looking at the match day thread

Right off the back of his "I feel great, love it here and want to stay interview" perfect timing Johnny lol
I think it may have been easier and less controversial had Jack Grealish came on the tour.
John Stones could have stayed at home or travelled to train along with the squad, whichever was the better path to his recovery.

He might be fit, but he won't be match fit, so unlikely to start as Pep says. Wouldn't be surprised if he comes on though for 20 mins at the end
As ever, I'm wanting to see a 3 4 1 2 and really think we have great personnel to make it happen.

Nunes Rodri Reijnders Ait-Nouri
Cherki/Foden
Haaland Marmoush
Overlapping wingbacks with pace & energy to get back. Possession maestros in the centre, who can both box crash. Marmoush cutting in from the left; Cherki/Foden in the half space on the right. Bunch of tall bastards to be menaces at set pieces. Delivery from the wings into the box for Haaland.
It's essentially the 3 1 6 but not suicidal

I like that, with the Air Cond in the stadium the running wont be badly affected as it was in Philly.

The hardest part of getting up early is moving the feet to the floor and taking the first step.....after that it's plain sailing. The match day thread is plain hard from start to finish...but us foc have to train the negativity out of these young bucks...as was kindly passed on to me in my youth. Oh the osmosis of being a blue...keep the faith and up the blues.

I once set my alarm for about 1.30am as a kid so myself and my brother could have a midnight feast. We were only about 8-10 years old and in his excitement my brother bit into one of those black jack sweets really hard and broke his tooth. One of things I'll never forget. I hope the match day thread moaners all have teeth problems tonight and stay quiet.They come out at night....

Broken fingers would be better than broken teeth for the match day threaders.
