I think Uni will have a plan even if it consists of our reserves playing.

Hope it's a better one than at Palace 2 years ago.

My lad has gone and is fully expecting another Palace experience.

BBC out the traps early with the Football Focus Pep wankfest, no mention of Villa at all, after winning a European trophy, what a surprise?

Regardless of what you think of him, Guardiola leaving is massive news. And far bigger news worldwide than our trophy win.

Not a word on the discovery of penicillin either, which by any metric is more significant in human development than dressing like a toddler and leaving a job.

My main takes are that Jonathan Pearce still seems to be drinking too much (sadly), and that Kenny Dalglish may be appearing on the Deathwatch thread sooner rather than later.

If you listen to how effusive Emery was in his praise of Guardiola this week, today will be all about him. As it should. He’s credited by almost every top manager for being amongst the most influential managers of all time. He’s certainly had advantages not afforded to others in who he has led, but his style and coaching methods has revolutionized the game. Like him or not, today is and should be about him. We will probably give him a guard of honour when he comes out.!
