Well my options are: (a) sit at home in front of the telly after a nice Sunday roast in a nice warm house, crack open the beers and relax on the sofa watching the game safe in the knowledge the remote is within reach if it gets laughable; or (b) leave the house about 10, drive in the rain down the M1 through the appalling 20-mile long roadworks, dodging the aggressive lorry drivers and average speed cameras, drag my sorry arse to the Vic to get a solitary pint of something purporting to be lager and a bag of crisps, sit sober in the cold watching us get hooned by Arsenal and then leave with 10 minutes to go because... well, because... and then reverse the journey and get home just after 6. So of course I'm going for (b).
Hm..is this fake or did Sky really do this? https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/19968178.twitter-reacts-skys-watford-troy-deeney-blooper/
Of course not, getting a picture of Ashley Westwood taking a corner isn't exactly the same as getting one of Saka taking a corner.
Mate, I'll have you know I thought about going to all three attempts at the Burnley away game. The first two times I gave it quite a lot of thought only for it to be cancelled last minute. And what compensation did I get from Gino? Nothing. Disgusting.
I've got a mate coming over from Bosnia for this game. He's a neutral for this one and I think he just likes watching people suffer.
I will be very happy with a draw. But what am thinking based on our performance since Roy took charge is : A win for us against Arsenal at home, then we certainly lose away to Wolves. A draw against Arsenal, then we draw or lose away to Wolves. We lose to Arsenal and we are certainly beating Wolves away from home. So I think beating Arsenal at home will be the best even though we are likely to crumble at Wolves after because it will give us hope that Roy has finally worked on us being a good team at home, so we might start picking three points in our remaining home games.

I’d also be happy with a plucky confidence growing defeat. As we’ve seen all season, we take confidence into the next game every single time, so I’d take that too (plus as it’s only a point difference, another win will eliminate that deficit). Maybe a one or two goal defeat, maybe after equalising, like against West Ham can lead us to the next phase of our season.
Are you aware J15 to J14 southbound is shut for the whole of this weekend? The official diversion route will take you off at J15, down the A508 until you meet the A5 at Stony Stratford & then onto M1 at J14. I imagine that route will be quite busy, so maybe you could come off M1 at 15A & take the B526 to Newport Pagnell & get on at J14 that way. Whichever way will add approx 30 minutes to the journey. It looks like the northbound carriageway is fully open all weekend (they shut that the weekend of the ManUre home game). Just to assist you in your decision making.
Oh for ****'s sake. They did that the other week as well. I usually get on at J15. Right, well I didn't know and genuinely appreciate you telling me. Looks like it's train or bust then.
Kiko's back and available for a maximum of 70 minutes this weekend! Hilarious that Nkoulou still doesn't even have a defined timeframe for a 'return to full training'. And am I right in thinking that means we still have not even an expectation for Etebo, as it stands? Or has he previously been announced back with the group and so all updates have just ceased?
Haha, good point - I'd forgotten about that. Would be classic us for him to just not appear on the day. 'Oh, yeah, he's out for another undetermined period of time. Didn't we mention it?'
I think 'undetermined period of time' and 'unclear how long he will be missing at this stage' are pretty close
To be fair, if ever something summed Sarr (and this club) up, it’s getting a hamstring injury having a speculative shot from 30 yards that went miles wide with the last kick of a game that ended 0-0.
