Mrs BW has failed a late fitness test which means I've got the task of taking Little Miss BW to and from dancing this evening.
I'm therefore going to miss the first hour of the game on TV, which probably isn't a bad thing. By the time I join, it'll be clear what needs to happen and I'll have sidestepped the nervousness of the first half.
Just hoping there's still something on the game going into the last half-hour.
Little Miss BW would be missing dancing tonight in our house.
Oh, and some informed fella on the socialz has done a video explaining Gibbs-White's injury - the key takeaway being that the white above his eye that could be seen in that nasty still image from Monday was thankfully not his skull but a deeper layer of skin.
Been offered a corporate ticket for tonight but decided I'd rather watch in the pub with a few Forest fans than have to sit quietly solo amongst Villa. Also is a pain to get home afterwards.
Good decision. I've only done corporate once after queuing for five hours for that fucking Barry Roche 'coffee cup' game away at Derby. Sold-out boards went up when we were about 20 places from the front of the queue in the Main Stand car park. My old man managed to wangle two seats in one of Toyota's boxes.
It was a pretty soulless experience and not just because it was Pride Park. Pretty much every cunt in our box had absolutely no interest in the game, which irritated me a lot given I'd missed out on a ticket for the away end.
So you're saying a spirit will take over Hooray Henry's body and potentially torment the Villa players?
No, McCoist is. Obviously.
Maybe Lucas "Nelly" Digne can narrate that ghost story one day
MGW, Sangare, Murillo on the bench.
No Aina or Abbott.
Strange looking team
Some thought that on Monday...
Clearly this isn't plan A, but I've no idea if it's B or C.
I don't really want Cunha at right back, but it's a better option than Morato at left back.
Nuno and Dyche made the Euro squad less effective than it needed to be.
How was McAtee at executing the MGW role on the left in the Chelsea match? And can we, as Lawsy wonders, "pin our hat" on him?
Is it Cunha at RB, or 3 at the back with Williams at wingback?
That would leave Hutchinson as WB, which would be daft.
i think 3 at the back right?
Although who would be playing the wing back opposite Williams? Dom? Hutchinson? Hmmmm.
Anyway, might confuse the Spanish Vampire and his silly Aston Villa first team.
Chicago: Hopeful.
