In an effort to buck the recent trend thought I’d start this.

Really need a big improvement and a win here.

They'll sit deep and we'll struggle to break them down, our possession stats will look nice though. 0-0.

Why is the turn-around in playing these bozos again, so soon?

Don't Serie A and La Liga do things "properly" (i.e Matchday 1 is reversed on Matchday 20; the last team you play in the league on game 19, you play the corresponding game on the last day of the sason etc.)?

We need a poll, Paul.

You might need to hide-out in Catcliffe for a while in case we lose.

Back to a stand up and be counted approach and we win. Whether such an approach materialises God only knows.

We are winning this. No fucking around. They’re shit and we’re lucky to get the result they did. We wuz robbed with the Ollie push, the second phase goal disallowed and the handball. Do fuck them and everyone else. A new win streak starts this weekend. Stick me down for 3-1 Tom. Archer for them.

Hopefully we'll come out swinging.

I'd bring Bailey in for Diaby, but otherwise go with the same lineup as Newcastle.  I prefer Konsa at Centre back and therefore Cash plays.  Ramsey and Zaniolo are offering nothing, so I'd rather try to play Tielemans back into form (at 10 with Bailey right and McGinn left).
