Wow, Sam’s gone big there. Wonder how City will react to that.

Ake was supposed to be much better yesterday, according to Pep. If he is fit, I'd have him in the team.

Once it’s past 90 mins before it’s fine, teams get submitted then. It’s only us that find out an hour before.

I thought they didn't get them 'officially' until 7

That was my point really, but they all have the photo ready to put on Twitter, so they’ll have them before 7, but don’t tend to say anything concrete until then.

It’s normally the FPL guys that leak the lineups.

Cheers, seems a bit silly these days!

Normally I'd agree but I thought we looked more solid at the back when Walker came on for him against Fulham. Probably more to do with Akanji changing position than Ake going off though.

Some things in football defy logic. Lo Celso is the new Coutinho, dusted off to score against us before going back on the shelf for a few months. Kulusevski usually plays like he's wearing lead boots underwater but we manage to make him look like prime Robben & Mahrez combined. Son wasted every good opportunity against Arsenal and is not even fast anymore but will bag his first half chance.

A draw would feel like a loss but still gives us a great chance. Score first against West Ham while the Arsenal game is 0-0 and their heads will go. We've been in similar situations many times and they have not. If they beat Everton 3-0 we just have to take our hat off.

Not sure how you conclude that

A defeat is not good for us (or even a draw).

 

[big gaz]

Yep. The match thread will be it's usual fun self, I'm sure. Particularly if we go behind.

Behave Jim you F**ing love it :-)

Like I said before, we will drop points tonight but thrash West Ham 5-0 to secure the title on goals scored.

OK

Nah, we don't get 3 pts tonight and it's all over, all imo of course
