Aye I'm going. Half day at work. Pondering when to go as the M62 is a bugger but I'm nae keen on turning up in Hull too early. #firstworldproblems

I am a bit apprehensive about tonight if we go with 3-5-2.  I just think there are going to be too many players playing out of position in that formation as it stands and it could be a real mess.

Don't be surprised to see Bruce turn up in a waistcoat.

No excuses. Bruce says the players are ready.

I’ve just laughed so suddenly, reading this, that I knocked my coffee over 🤪
Luckily away from the iPad!

Wonderful stuff, Rudy Can’t Fail.

If he does, it will have to be from David Byrne's 1983 wardrobe.

A draw away in the opening game wouldn't be too bad.  But Hull are mediocre at best.  Think they will slowly improve over the season, but the first game might be a good time to catch them.  Very winnable opener.  1-2 to Villa! Will go for Double A and Grealish to get the goals.

So did the opposition manager. No excuses for him either then.

Credible away point it is then as i wouldn't want either to be outed as lying

What are the chances of us playing with the speed and passion Leeds showed yesterday?

Zero?

Ha! Yeah, right. Our pre-season preparation will have been to run a lot.

Same laboured approach as last season then? I can hardly contain myself.

Hull 21/10 The Draw 22/10 Villa 13/10. I wrote out a bet on Villa to win 1-0 at 8/1 but haven't got around to putting it on. So Sods Law will mean we will win 1-0, but bet or no bet I will take that.
