Watch it if you're coming into Town. Navigation St shut by the red cage car park. No access to The Mailbox Car Park from the Queensway although that seems to be running OK. Backstreets around the back of the Mailbox are gridlocked though.

And of course the trains will be wank. They have been all week out of Birmingham.

I mean, even worse than the standard dog shit service.

overtime strike isn't it

Yes. They can’t fulfil a normal service without overtime. Same as the bus

Hope everyone will be ok travelling and being at the match. Well wishes.

The rumour is this is Man City Line Up:
Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol;
Stones, Lewis, Bernardo;
 Alvarez, Haaland, Foden.

Very Beatable. Can dominate the midfield !

Not sure I’d call that very beatable. But they can be beaten.

[OCD]

Not sure that's a midfield either. Looks like all defenders and forwards.

I think FV got it spot on?

Hope this Konsa at RB thing works out

3-1 Statement Win.
Going to be a fantastic atmosphere and Villa players and support alike are super up for it. It's time El Mastero beat Pep. They seem to be feeling the strain.

Villa:Watkins X2 , McGinn
Man City:Haaland.

Sending off: Stones.

I really wanna beat these more than any other team.
They are the equivalent to many people's man utd to me.
Cannot stand them.
Come on Villa!

Nice and positive!
