6pm kick off mean you are allowed to have beer earlier in your evening.

its the law.

 

[Father Paul]

not a fan of Rodri + Gundogan though, but hey ho...

Gundog has been one of our best players for weeks now and surely is one of the first names on anybody's team sheet.

To be honest a scabby will do me. 3-1 City

But was it playable at the scheduled starting whistle? Perhaps the game could have kicked off at midnight. Postponements these days normally centre around Health and Safety issues rather than the pitch being unplayable. Considering the amount of attention and money spent on the playing surface one would only expect a match to be called off in exceptional circumstances.

I was merely pointing out that the pitch seems to have excellent drainage. Unplayable at 8:00, perfectly fine at 10:00.

Any win with a clean sheet will do me, got to keep the momentum going with our defence which has been playing brilliantly recently...

Some of them are recovering from COVID and they have only trained for a few days

Haven't had it but even much younger people than me who have have taken, in some cases, weeks to recover. I imagine that from their point of view they'd rather it had been called off.

Only worried about the extra rest they’ve had. Put it to bed early and use subs well. 2-0.

City vs Villa on BT, lets talk about Leicester first.

Plus lockdown/furlough. 3pm start sessions are acceptable even on a Wednesday afternoon

Pretty certain it was Noah's missus who kept moaning about it "just being a bit of rain" because she was pissed off about him always nipping off to B'n'Q for more yacht varnish and timber. I might be wrong though.

As Noah was 500 years old, that's some nagging missus.
Incidentally, "Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male & his female", Genesis 7-9.
"Not a lot of people know that".

I don’t like him much but to be fair to the guy opponents do seem to kick the s..t out of him.

come on Kev. some of us have been at it since half 9

 

[GornikDaze]

Presume there will be a last minute check on the weather and kick off delayed or the game postponed if there is any chance the Villa show pony will have his hair messed up?

Predicted a swallow dive earlier

Some posts again having us hit 4 or 5 nil tonigh,nothing absolutely wrong with being optimistic but we had this with West Brom and Brighton and villa are a far better team than those two,I see it being a hard fought game with either us winning 2-1 or a draw 1-1..
