Should be a superb atmosphere today. Wish I was there. Got the evening all planned out though: 1. Break fasting at 6.00pm 2. Pray (say one that St Maximin chooses today to have an absolute blinder and rip Alexander-Arnold a new one - will have to check what that all is in Arabic) 3. Watch the first half 4. Pray again (say another that ref spots Salah diving and sends him off) 5. Watch 2nd half and a 2-0 win
This must be the longest match thread we have had before a game kicks off. Although only about 5% of the posts actually relate to the match.
It was brilliantly done, smooth and painless and nobody saw the wound……. It’s 55 and he knows that mind - the sincerity of the “Happy 60ths” that appeared though were touching! So thanks @magdad @Geordieginola @ToonArmy1892 @Andra Tutto Bene @Darren Peacock's Ponytail C’mooooon you black and a white bastards ye

Delighted. Wood is useless anyway, in games like this he'd be a 12th man for them, giving it away constantly and winning nothing. I see what Eddie is trying to do, going with a 'false 9' in ASM. Incredibly bold move, and why not? Not a lot to play for so may as well go toe to toe and hope for the best.
