Shit's about to get very very real from this weekend onwards. Strap yourselves in and keep a good supply of valium sandwiches just in case. Come on you blue boys.

Was just thinking exactly this. Sat is a big game after the international break and sets the tone for the next few weeks. Already feeling nervous about the next two weeks, but should be an absolute blast.

For anyone who was getting the train there tomorrow the 11:04 has been cancelled as well as the 5:38 coming home.

What a great time to be a blue. Just remember when we were counting points to see if we could avoid relegation.

I’ll take ‘winners’ stress every season!

Already starting to get nervous a few early beers will hopefully settle that. Get the feeling pep will rotate for this think players like zinchenko ake fernandinho gundogan jesus sterling will all get games.

Thanks for the heads up, I’m on the 12:04 that’s still ok.

I like a drink before the match but fuck me, that's hardcore..

Do any of these one fingered fuckers have injuries?

Yep I think most will be on that now mate. The way home will be busy now aswell as most will likely be on the 18:38.

Was planning on having a few pints in Burnley afterwards anyway.

I know what you're saying but i'm not sure how comfortable Laporte would be on the right side, he gets enough stick now when he plays on his natural side!
My thinking was that Cancelo is naturally right footed and Walker has played centrally and is comfortable on the ball, so it makes the back four more balanced.

'Walker comfortable on the ball'..... not sure about that mate, unless he's got about 30 seconds and there are no attackers within 25 yards.
