LET'S PISS PEP OFF! (A Match thread)

A more measured match thread against Fulham yielded zilch. Shouty thrashed the Spuds. Also if Citeh fail to win Pep will lose his shit like he did at Newcastle.

Let's not water the pitch so that the cunt can come up with that excuse. The Spanish dancing wanker usually beats The Ginger prince but Sean and co haven't lost two in a row since he rocked up to the City Ground.

I think a draw. 1-1. Would of course love a victory as they can concede oodles. Also we play better against so called superior teams so the odds are in our favour.

Wonder if they try a Nuno on us with Haaland breaking forward or just the usual possession game. The latter of course would help us in our quest for glory.

Let's hope our midfield turns up for this one...

Chicago: Quietly confident.

I guess the likelihood is that if we concede first we lose but if we score first we might not.
The x in the equation will of course be PGMOL's latest competition winner.
After Sam Barrett's Crime Of The Ancient Mariner v Spurs (he guesseth one in three) and Antony Taylor's 9 card trick at Fulham we have the joy of Robert Jones.

It's refereeing Jim, but not as we know it.

I felt confident Vs Fulham. I don't feel confident Vs City. Make of that what you will.

They will double up Doku & O'Reilly on Savona, which will not be pleasant to watch.
But there is always the chance we can knick a goal and hold on for dear life

Dominguez in for Luiz.

Victor stays in goal.

'Right lads - I want you to channel Robbo today'.
'No problem boss. We've all had steak and chips for lunch followed by a couple of ciggys and Callum's got the Evo-Stik to glue the ball to his boot'.

Doku is injured.
In fact their line up looks like they are setting up to over run us in centre midfield.

Meanwhile this doesn't look promising.

There were rumours circulating a few weeks ago that he was out for the season so not massively surprised.
It’s all been a bit cloak and daggers for some reason though so I wonder if this tweet will have upset the club…

Wants to get sorted for the World cup.

Keep it quiet Woody as we don’t want everyone pushing the price up for a new striker in Jan so we’ll keep pretending you’re ‘weeks away’.

“Fuck that, I don’t want a new striker above me in the pecking order.”

Hmm. I suppose they spoiled us with Antonio for a few games.

Every chance of a break is being cynically halted by City pulling / wrestling us to the floor. It would be nice if Rob Jones did something more about it than just giving a free kick.

Fuck me, a booking. Finally.

And 1 foul, 1 booking for Forest.
Fuck's sake.
