Game will be won and lost in the middle of the park. I hope Kamara is on it . Was disappointed with him in the PSG games and again last night, more BMW than the Rolls Royce he's been billed as . Likewise Onana , I'd rest him and put Tielemans/ McGinn back in the team . Cut out the supply to eze / Sarr and we win .

“Billed as” - he is exactly what people think he is and he’s shown it plenty. He’s just a bit off form.
Yes , my point was he needs to bring his A game back on Saturday as it's been off for the games I mentioned .

Cars aren't really my thing, but aren't BMWs generally considered to be quite good?

Thank you yes they are (albeit a VW in a skirt) . But they definitely aren't Rollers .

Yeah, I thought it was a surprising bit of nuance not normally found in the Coopers Injury stable.

I'd rather drive an M3 than a Phantom though.

I work at one remove for BMW Roadside Assistance, and it amuses me to see so many 25 plate BMW's breaking down already.

Meanwhile, my 14 plate Dacia Duster, £12,500 off the showroom floor, has gone 11 years and 93,000 miles without a single breakdown

Palace are a good side and they’ve definitely had our number of late. We need to play with real intensity in this one and Ollie should be starting.

Will this be our first FA Cup Semi going in as favourites since 2000?

Made blooming hard work of 2nd tier Bolton that day.

You don’t need the Villa App but as they have sent tickets in download format only and not printable  you download to Apple or Google wallet. If you don’t have smart phone or can’t use one contact ticket office and they should send print at home version.
