When did Sly start doing Saturday 3pm KO live?

I apologise in advance blues….I will be going to the game with my son, the last PL home game we attended was the Everton fiasco….sorry :(


However, I still think we’ll smash fuck out of lids !!!!!

4-0 the mighty ‘inevitables’

I hope you and your son have a brilliant day — post pictures after so my 2 year old lad and I can live vicariously!

I had an uneasy feeling all through wednesday afternoon, up until kick off. Old habits die hard.

Had the same feeling until the third went in.

My last home game this season, I hope to see a few goals :). Let the Viking score a hattrick and then rest him for Madrid.

Think today is a one off, exceptional circumstances

Get the feeling this should be a straight forward win,but I just can’t shake that feeling of time wasting,faking injury and basically anything to disrupt our momentum a carbon copy of Everton at home earlier in the season,Leeds are desperate for points fat Sam is desperate to start on a positive footing so hopefully it’s only a positive that they keep the scoreline down to 2 or 3 goals ..

We’re far better now than what we were in December.

Has fat Sam done any coaching or management since leaving West Brom?

Have a feeling it'll be something like this:

Ortega
Walker Akanji Laporte Lewis
Bernardo Phillips Gundogan
Mahrez Alvarez Foden

I would go stronger but if it's true that Rico is playing, that says a lot IMO. Think Phillips would be fine with those two next to him and if there's a game he can start between now and the end of the season it's this one.

Haaland playing 90 against West Ham suggests he's going to be rested today. Kev won't be rushed back, Dias, Rodri and Grealish really need a rest and Stones and Ake need to be wrapped in cotton wool. Still can't get my head around the decision to drop Ederson but I'm assuming Ortega will stay in for today and Ederson will come in for Madrid.

I actually think that if it is true Rico is playing we are less likely to see a heavily shuffled team otherwise. It would be a lot of pressure to put on him, and pretty disruptive to our flow, to play in a largely fringe team in a title chasing game.

And our top players still need to stay match fit and in rhythm ahead of a pivotal trip to Madrid (I personally think if we manage to win there—even by a single goal—we will be on to the final)—so there is some risk to resting them today.

Then again, I could be completely wrong.

@Tony - MCFC will no doubt set us straight in an hour. ;-)

When we will have the starting lineups?
I can't eat, I can't concentrate, I can't even breath now. :)
A strong lineup will get me calm a bit.

Allardyce has said that he would absolutely win the treble if he was manager of City?
OMG he really tries to get all the cameras on him. After that we need to put 5-0 on him for a proper shut up.

Yep, at Burger King apparently
