    I heard that Roly's online vote tipped it in Barnes' favour.

    I always had a strong suspicion we'd win today.

    Probably Barnes best performance ever for us. Worked hard, was a threat. If that version is the sub left wing we’re in a good place.

    Absolute cake walk of a game. Easier than Leicester. Villa game is the interesting one.

    Palace won’t be easy. But a draw would be a good result.

    A win of course would be much better.

    Spurs (x2)
    Man united (x2)

    What happens with Gordon now. Does he come straight back in for Barnes or does he need to wait it out a bit? It's a tricky one as Gordon probably offers that more continual contribution to the performance but Barnes is definitely better at sniffing out goal scoring opportunities.

    Can't really drop Barnes after that.

    Roly wanted us to sack Howe and bring Amorim in September. Man U got him before us, damn.

    Yeah, fair question as I expect almost every fan would have Gordon ahead of Barnes on any normal day, but Barnes currently has the starting place and Gordon needs to earn it back. Not fair to drop Barnes right now.

    Purely if fitness is an issue, that’s it. But they all look calm, they’re barely breaking sweat and winning comfortably.
