[Tangled up in blue.]

Big game. We need a win, the pressure is on , I don't want utd catching up with us.

I would be devastated if them cunts overtook us

Don't worry about them, worry about catching Arsenal.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I voted ’win’ simply because we have to.I think we can but need to be clinical and careful defensively.

I'm worried that there will be no chips left at half time..

You'd be lucky there's any pre-game sometimes in SS3.

 

[Blue back home]

This can go two ways. Firstly we batter them which is what I expect, I think last Sunday will have drained them mentally, if we get a fast start it will be 4 or 5. On the flip side they might just bounce back but I don't expect it. I wonder if Haaland will start, we look better without him.

 

[If I die in the Kippax St]

I know it's at home but I don't like the idea of not being solid down the flanks with their proper front 3 back. Almiron will cause problems down that left hand side and St Max will surely make Walker's day hard work.

Feel our attacking threat is enough to get us through regardless. Be a hard choice who to play up top tbh

St max is a headless chicken this will be a straightforward 3 v 0. The bubble has burst

Hard to know what to expect from Newcastle. You could say the bubble has burst because they've scored 3 goals in their last 7 games and have only picked up 8 points in that time. But their form only really started suffering once they reached the League Cup final. You could sort of sense that their minds were on Wembley. But now that game is out of the way, they might get their focus back on the league. They've got Bruno back after his suspension and, as much as they've not scored many recently, they haven't really let many in either. This will be tricky.

I'm more confident in our ability to break down their defense with a healthy Phil.
