I wonder why that is when City have loaned him to us for the season? Have they got some sort of recall on him?

We'll lose, the arse will win comfortably, thus regaining their confidence while ours will still be low. Queuing us up nicely for a thumping at the weekend.
The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.

Haven't seen the lineup yet.


My optimism will be directly correlated to the names on/off the teamsheet.
They're dirty, they're filthy, they're never gonna last.

Despite not knowing the lineup I confidently predict we'll spank them. And spank them good.
2-0 to us and Cahill getting our only yellow.

If you could direct me to a better CB who is eligble/fit to play I'll consider it.

Edit - Bish you've dropped Jussi without replacement.

I thought we were playing tomorrow, so I'm reserving my judgement til then.

I can, however, confidently predict that I'll be super accurate with tomorrows prediction. Call it a hunch.

Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
