For once, living in strange time-zone is a bonus.

I don’t think I’m going to be able to make it to half time!
Play up, chaps, I hope we win. Looks promising. UTV!

As a co-commentator, Stephen Warnock needs to learn that sometimes less is more. Especially with that grating Scouse accent

Pretty bland start. Konsa closest. We are marginally the better side.

Can clearly see the three at the back when we're in possession. Not much activity to deal with, so far. I sometimes feel Konsa tries to pass much earlier than Young or even Cash would.

Cracking work by Big Diego. Super positioning, pace and strength. Warnock just called him an Adonis

I was based in Wichita, Kansas for most of the 1990's, and was surprised to learn that lightening kills more people than tornadoes.

Fascinating stuff. So basically what you're saying is The Wizard of Oz was like one bad acid trip?

It was a heavy scene, man.

Bizarrely, I ended living off the the Yellow Brick Road, aka US 54.

If they made the Villa kit claret and blue sweat coloured it would the perfect shade.

I think we're looking a little bit weak/open in the middle - anyone else?

We've been ok but Archer doesn't give us the same focal point as Watkins. Missing Doug as well.

Pau Torres looks like he's wearing a bin bag!
