Tomorrow is my birthday. Today I returned to work and a new 5 year old pupil who does not know that "c" makes a "ker" sound (she thinks it makesa "chur" sound) spent the day calling me a chunt We all know what the useless chunts are gonna ruin my birthday
I really can't call the team for tomorrow - If we are to believe Conte Sunday was good, so not many changes particularly with the cup at the weekend where players can be rested (in theory). Just have a feeling that we will see Emerson, Sessegnon and Dier all start - The big decision maybe Skipp or Sarr in midfield.
Yeah it’ll be interesting to see who he picks out of Skipp and Sarr. Gil will likely start, I hope Kulu is fit for the bench. Lloris Romero Dier Lenglet Doherty Sarr Hojbjerg Perisic Gil Kane Son Is my bet. I want Skipp, Spence to start at the weekend.
Palace away is not a great fixture for a side with an unsettled, chaotic defence, powder puff midfield lacking creativity and a blunt attack. We're cannon fodder to any side up for a fight and will be lucky to escape with a -3 goal defeat. Conte has given up I reckon, so feck-all chance of a bounce back from Sundays debacle. And that's me trying to be positive....
I gotta be honest, I am getting bored by with Contes prematch "there is a problem with me and the club signing a new contract" comments... along with the "I signed a contract so have to work in the project" ones. Either call the board liars or say the club is in a bigger mess than anyone knew...I'd have a lot more patience with him if he did that instead of this constant moaning
We share the same Birthday, I am officially an old age pensioner or as I was accused today , a benefit scrounger
And this is why my business cards tell people to address me as "The Master of the Hunt, The Champion of the Shunt" What this mainly teaches me is that either very few people have seen Society, or plenty of people have and knows what that line leads to...
Wouldn’t be surprised if Conte throws both Sarr and Skipp into midfield with Hojbjerg and go with 352. His mindset is that young players clearly aren’t good enough and so I think his logic will be to pack the midfield to prevent being overrun rather than being more expansive with two of them spaced out in different roles.
I wouldn't mind this but on the proviso that either Skipp or Hojbjerg is given the freedom to play further forward in between the lines and actually provide service to our attackers, as it sure as hell isn't coming from the flanks if Kulu isn't playing.
