Apparently the biggest Championship match of the season so far will be live on Skysports. (According to Skysports)

It's a shame Wolves couldn't take them to extra time tonight.

Wonder if our banner man has got one ready to drop down if we beat them 😂😂 2-0 grealis & Bacunna.

Good job I read this post because for some reason I had it in my head this was a 3:00 kick off.

Fuck it. I'm being entreated by the media to act as if this is a derby game. The Newcastle fans who wait outside the away end to have a pop causing agro to start between us and them are suggesting I treat this as a derby game. I found relegating them again, just as hilarious as the first time of asking.

So why not? If ever the "it's going to click" argument was the bear fruit, then this is the game. 4-1 Villa, and you can fuck off as well you fat, Coventry, horse neglecting ******.

Please God, win this game.

Pick the right team. Said team does not include Westwood. The middle of the park is key.

What is it with Quinn and horses?

I suspect it does. Tshibola apparently didn't look that ready for the under 23s? I presume nobody would pick Gardner over Westwood?

He fancies 'em, but not in a good way.

Neigh!

I think he got sent off.

1-1. Meanwhile Quinn will post more comments about us this week.

[Matt Collins]

Hoping McCormack is fit. Though I think there's a good case for 433 and that would mean him playing out of position- e.g. on the left of the attacking three

Also wonder if adomah comes into the reckoning. I'd probably keep ayew to be honest.

They really do hate us, I think any other club in the country (maybe apart from Liverpool) would have long forgotten the 'incident', take themselves far too seriously them Geordies do.

We'll probably draw.
