It's going to be very, very wet.
... and very blustery.

Good job you have your anorak.

Keep the ball on the floor and bloody shoot when we get the chance.

cue the west ham goalie booting it down wind when eddies at the edge of his box and it sailing over his head into the net

I don't think his motivation is to be questioned,i think there is more to his form than that,he rarely gets injured but an enforced rest might help

Totally agree, motivation probably the wrong word, I think there's something in his subconscious that's holding him back, he's gone back to taking the extra touches instead of pulling the trigger or taking his opponent on etc. Footballer equivalent of writers block...

Yes, reverted back to the player we bought.

West Ham goalie won't be in any hurry. He'll be another that delivers a game of 35minute halves.

Given the expected weather conditions and our apparent lack of real motivation ( scared of picking up an injury in 50:50 tackles and missing the cup games), a dull 0-0 at 40/1 looks a pretty good bet.

Lump your savings on it then

Given the dreadful weather forecast, now including lightning, could a postponement be an option?

I was wondering that when i saw the forecast this morning. 60-80mph winds, torrential rain all day, thunder and lightning, sounds pretty grim.

I hope not, 30 visitors from Prague over for it, including 18 of their academy players!

They're doing the tour today and they'll be on the pitch before kick-off.

I know, bloody tourists!

 

[MillisleBlue]

Come on you blues - 13 - 0, 1 - 0, 7 - 6 - just win baby, just win.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Sane and Sterling out. Pep doesn't say how long but it sounds like they will both be OK in a couple of weeks.

Everyone else good to go.

I read a reply from City Support on twitter saying they can confirm that the games going to take place, not sure how they can without seeing what the weather is like tomorrow, but there you go.

Do they know what the score will be, could be good to put a few quid on it

Or more importantly, what the weather will be like on Sunday.

Exactly, tomorrow not too bad but Sunday looking foul.
