So in the space of five days it's gone from 10-0 to being happy with a draw. :)

When we don't have the derbies, both sets of fans chunter.

Once we get it back everybody's too scared to play it.

For crying out loud just enjoy the game, whatever the result.
 

Obviously I want us to give them a proper stuffing, but if it comes to it, a deflected shot off the ref`s backside for a scruffy 1-0 will do.
 
Well let's hope this is a genuine ITK piggy, who has just revealed their line up several hours in advance. It's certainly got them grunting [and not in a good way] over there, which suggests he might be legit.

Just popped in here to get the opposition view on the match tonight.

Yep, given that the post has now been removed I suspect that it was genuine. If that’s the line up it’s going to be a long night for me.

Our jos makes mourinho look like like Ozzie ardiles. Embarrassing.

Beer 8. But we are 2 hours ahead. What possibly else could I do :)

Then you can have another 0-0 victory parade

He certainly has faith in the young un's doesn't he, not a bad thing in itself but this is a tough game for any player. There has to be something more behind those senior players being excluded, is it down to cash or has he just fallen out with them?
That being said he could well spring a trap and put out a team noone is expecting. Wilder sounds like he was preparing for your strongest 11.

I’m not too sure to be honest mate. He hasn’t picked them all season. It could just be that they are out of contract next season and he doesn’t see them having a future here so wants to give the kids experience. Trouble is they still need experience around them.

I don’t mind the youngsters, for me it’s the fact that he goes so defensive.

And can't get a clean sheet amazingly, oh shit now I have done it :(

:) exactly.

That's my main issue. I don't particularly like boring defensive football but I could put up with it more if it was getting results and we looked good at it.

I wish our style of football was defensive rather than not having a set way of playing at all.
 
That line up posted on Owlstalk seems like it could be genuine but there was a similar 'leak' last time that turned out to be totally wrong. It could just be one of the desperate tactics they resort to.

If that line up's correct, I'd expect it to be something like this:


Dawson

Baker Hector Lees Thorniley Fox

Pelupessy Bannan Penney

Reach

Fletcher


Possibly even a flat 5-4-1.

If so, it could be a long night - for both of us.
 
Do you notice I'm always respectful to the other teams. They'll be pigs toneet though if we don't effing win :) :D
 

Beers 10 and 11 just came. Think I might need to slow down .

 
I think they are being a bit underrated (by our fans and theirs). They were top six before the international break, and yes they've lost four on the bounce, but Norwich/Boro at home and QPR/Birmingham away aren't easy games. Hopefully, their confidence is shot after last week and we get an early goal and go on to win comfortably. But I fear it's going to be one of those play-well-but-can't-score type games that we have too often.

Lost, four and bounce sounds very familiar. Can`t for the life of me think why though.

But they haven’t ‘lost’ those games. They’ve been beat.

I don’t know why I’m typing actually as I’m more nervous than anyone

Strongest team we can put out, so happy with that
 
My only superstition that one.

I hope you saluted

Saluted, said "morning Mr Magpie how's your lady wife" to everyone of them and finished with a "BITCH", which was a particular and peculiar superstition of my late lamented mate Robbie B.

We rarely do well with him on the mike...I ain't joking!
