Same as Bournemouth, just got to go for it  3-0 to us I think but I’d take any win

Think Bournemouth was the complete opposite of just going for it. Bournemouth was sit back, let them have the ball and wait for an opening.

Spurs can be dangerous, I expect us to be cagey and not open ourselves up for quick counter attacks.

I'm glad Maddison is injured.

Just win Villa, and take it to the last day of the season: a goal can go in off John McGinn's arse for all I care!

TBH, I'm more worried about the Manure game than Friday, given our crap record up there! Unwanted memories from over the years keep flooding back, despite my best efforts!

Indeed, there's a lot of fate tempting going on. The home game against Sheffield Utd is still too fresh in the mind for that.

It’s interesting that 2 managers that are being criticised for not changing their tactics face each other in a European final.
One of them will walk away with a trophy.

The standard of opposition in the Europa League has shown itself to be bottom-half of the Premier League. They've got lucky that none of the CL teams dropped into the secondary competition, like in previous years.

Apparently Kulusevski's had knee surgery, so is buggered for the final too.

Shame for the lad to miss a final, delighted he definitely isn't playing against us as he's their one player I rate.
