I can't make the game, putting my seat on Air BNB.
Here's the ad.

Small space available,
great atmosphere, shared facilities.
close to metro and chip shop.
Everything you need for an enjoyable stay in the northern quarter.
check-in 11.30 am check out 2.30 pm.
40 pounds

Think you might be overselling the atmosphere bit?

can see this being really tight result, we need to take our chances, no fluffing big chances, just take them. clinical is what we miss.
Soton and Palace both walked away with a clean sheet from Etihad already, no more points can be dropped vs lower table sides this season imo at home.

if Foden/Jesus are fit would go with Foden-Bernardo-Jesus front three, as Bernardo kind of feels the goal for now, and a Rodri-Gundo-KDB midfield.
Dont want Sterling Grealish starting from left, if they have to start Sterling should be on right, and Grealish deeper centrally not left of front three.

big chance to put some pressure on Pool, Chelsea by winning early game.

Scoring first and early will be the key.

I didn’t realise we had Fatty Moss as the ref. He wanders aimlessly around the middle of the park, puffing and panting to keep up. Still we’re used to 11v 12.

Come on blue boys. This is a vital game.

He's not as bad on a cold day because he has to run around to keep warm. Remember him reffing a Charity Shield against Chelsea. Boiling hot day in August he gave every decision based on which team was shooting towards the end in the shade.

Heavy rain forecast, but thankfully not heavy winds to go with it.

I foresee a booking for the Wolves keeper, for time wasting, in the 89th minute. I foresee a booking for the Villa keeper, for time wasting, in the 20th minute

Bollocks. Just woke up so won't make it today.

It'll be typical I miss a 5 or 6 nil masterclass!

Heavy rain forecast, but thankfully not heavy winds to go with it.

Met Office forecast is for light rain starting at KO.

God I hate these early kick offs, I can never gauge what time to set off!!

Anyway 2-0 win for us.
