Tickets become available about 6 ish this evening, got mine and my boys.
My first visit to see the lads this season, touch wood I'll be ok to go due to my stomach op.
Got a week and halfs rest so should be good.

Really wanna see Okore, Helenius, Bacuna & Tonev given a run, I think we may get a shed load of goals.

That team seems decent and a chance for some of the new boys to perform.
Wouldn't surprise me if he plays Vlaar and Okore as I think this will be PL's first choice CB pairing in the longer term.

Yes, I want to see Marc and Gardner get a run-out here as well as the new lads.

Sounds good to me, assuming Sylla's fully fit by then.

Just read the WSC season preview. The Rotherham boss Steve Evans really gets up the nose of supporters of other clubs. Any ideas why?

I was going to get a couple of tickets in the Holte for my son and I but in the end I just got our usual seats in the lower North. Two home games in five days. Great after all those weeks of going cold turkey. Hopefully see a few debuts too.

He's an arsehole. A convicted tax-dodger and all round prick.

He used to play for Clyde but don't tell anyone.

******!

I will purchase mine on the day. If you end up in the Lower Holte for a seat switch say hello at half time.

Just Google "Steve Evans twat" (or any other similar word) and you'll get all the reasons you'll ever need.
The bloke is an odious prick of the very highest order.

Ah I see. Bit of a bad sort. Well, as a favour to everyone then, we need to humiliate Rotherham. Unfortunate for the Rotherham players but that's collateral damage.

This game has more importance for us than I think originally bargained for. not just because it'll be our last game for a while but who it gives a chance fo playing to. our current midfield and front 3 look as if they've carried their form over from last season into the start of this. It won't last throughout the season and there will be injuries and suspensions. So, helenius will have a chance to show that when he gets opportunities he can fill in for Benteke. Similalry Sylla needs to show that he can be as effective as KEA has been so far in the first two games. Tonev/Okore/Steer/Bacuna and also the likes of Gardner/Bennett/Grealish etc.

I'm not suggesting wholesale changes as that would be silly and could easily backfire. One or two changes to strat with - well, 3 or 4 minimum, and then brings others on as and when during the game.

My sister in law texted me this morning to say that they're sponsoring Rovrum's away kit in time for the Villa game.

By 'they' I assume she means her employer, not her partner and five year old daughter. If I'm wrong they'll be running out with Hello Kitty on their shirts.
