    City-Spurs is going to be a noughties throwback with their rock solid back four plus two or three defensive midfielder set-ups. Yawn.

    Actually having a defence has sorted City right out though and just serves as further proof that at the highest level of any sport defending well is the way to win. I say any, I mean football and the various eggball codes I'm familiar with.

    Villa have the covid so they could be fielding a pretty lol side tomorrow night , unless it gets canned, which I didn't think was supposed to happen, but the Southampton game seems to have gone already.

    This Villa game should be banter. We were never gonna play full-strength but we ain't playing kids either so hopefully we can avenge the 5-0 League Cup encounter of last year.

    It'll end up being called off and we'll have to play the youth team in the rearranged fixture.

    There is no rearranged game. If it's called off, I think Villa forfeit.

    No, that's no true.

    We've had our cup game against Shrewsbury postponed as they cant fufil the fixture due to Covid.

    They may end up being forced to forfeit but its not been decided yet.

    I'm hoping for mass postponements. There are no better FA Cups than those where one team has made the quarter-finals but others are still stuck in the fourth round, i.e. Southampton will play Arsenal or Derby County or Luton Town or Lewes or Old Carthusians or the Duke of Norfolk's XI.

    Haller gone to Ajax for £20m after West Ham signed him for £47m in 2019.

    Why would Ajax waste £20 million on a third rate carthorse. Offsets the next youngster they sell.

    They've netted about 200 mil on transfers in the last 18 months and Haller is an assured 20 goals/season over there. Why wouldn't they?

    I'm sure there's a 20 a season in Holland man available for about a quarter of that.

    He's 26. He can score 40 goals a season there and bag another big fee move and turn an easy profit for them too. It's a great deal for all parties. Until West Ham go and sign M.Dembele with the proceeds. Fucking Azmoun sitting there waiting to be bagged.

    If by 'burst onto the scene' you mean scored 30 in 65 for Utrecht, then yeah. I'm sure the pubs in Nijmegen, Groningen and Kerkrade are still bouncing with folklore about his rape and pillage of their boys.

    If we can get them to give us that 20 million for Nketiah I think it might be a good move for both parties.

    Why have Aston Villa went that extreme? You’d have thought a few senior players who make the bench would have played.

    That Liverpool team on the other hand clearly after revenge

    I thought our U10s did pretty well last year before getting sabotaged by a few goals against the run of play and VIlla's better professionalism, so fully expect this to be a lot closer than some. That side though, fucking hell, not really far off full strength. Respecting the cup and all that.
