    I know a Tom Kerridge.
    He was a bump at the '84 final.
    I was in front of his brothers at Selhurst Park last month.
    Lovely family.
    RIP Roly.

    Has he gone back in time?

    Liverpool fans cannot complain if we do get hammered again having let them score 8 goals!

    Will Javi make changes to rest players for the Palace game?

    Paul Merson thinks that would be a fair idea.

    I think we would need to check with Chris Sutton before we do this. Only he can determine what is reasonable and what isn't in the world of football.

    They've got a few missing for tomorrow. No Fernandinho, De Bruyne or Stones. Ok, they've still got a bus load of international stars, but that will hurt them, especially no Fernandinho.

    No Fernandinho means we will be far physically stronger in the centre of the park. You never know.

    City are a machine though. I remember Sane's goal, they identified the weakness and just kept playing the same ball over the top until it worked. It's a simple game. Guardiola clearly has them drilled to play as they do on the training pitch... and woe betide anyone who breaks rank. Thierry Henry scored twice before HT and Guardiola hooked him off at HT for not following his instructions.

    No I haven't. I have been to the Hand and Flowers though, had to book 11 months in advance and, as you would expect, it wasn't cheap. Food was decent but not as good as other similarly priced places I have been, looked forward to it and ended up a bit disappointed TBH.

    I would of course be over the moon if we actually manage to win this game, in fact a draw would even be very pleasing, but at the end of the day as long as we don't take a serious hit to our goal difference, I will not be too unhappy.

    You’ll finish the day unhappy then. They’ll absolutely batter us. Deluded to think otherwise.

    I thought the Sunday roast at the Hand and Flowers was very good, and not as expensive as other Michelin star restaurants, although this was a few years ago now.

    Met Roy Hodgson in there, who was, at the time, the England manager.

    4-1 with the usual Aguero hat-trick. Just to rub it in he will score our goal for us.

    I am sticking my neck out and predicting 2-1 to us.
    Us being Watford, and not Man City for all you traitors that are hoping we lose.

    Few rumours circulating that suggest Pep has agreed a 4 year deal at Juventus this summer. Talksport have mentioned it this morning also.

    I see Watford are 20/1 to win today. So that means if you put £10 on Watford you will win nothing.

    Question is if you put £10 on watford to win how long will it be till you realise you are going to win nothing , would be nice if we could hang on into double mins

    Must win game for Citeh. On the plus side for us Fernandinho is out and they did miss him when he was out earlier in the season.
    I’ll take a point and no injuries. Then celebrate with a 99 with a flake.

    6-1 unfortunately.

    We simply fold against the real big boys. Yes, they are clearly miles better than us, but more often than not we seem to put up far less resistance than some other similar stature teams do.

    Less than three pages before this match says it all!

    It may be damage limitation is our best bet, which may not be such a bad thing given that how tight it is and the fact that Wolves play at Chelsea tomorrow; if we lose by two or more fewer goals than they do, we'll go above them on goals scored.
     
  30. The bus is being parked, sensible approach limit the goal difference damage
