Does Heidi have her own film crew following her around, she always manages to get picked out of the crowd

[Carrick Dave]

JFH is aging well.

Did I read correctly that Mudryk is out for 6 to 8 weeks with an ankle injury.
Wow did we dodge a bullet.

Disagree. Its to integrate the new signings into the squad in the real world - a game against a top 6 opponent.
You cant just have a new signing come off the bench in a fast paced league game, having never experienced competitive football in the team.

We have far more dwpth in this squad than last year and we need to ensure they are competitive.

We know Chelsea are doing the same

Looking at the team Chelsea have put out, we should be OK.

Is kickoff delayed? Thought it kicked off at 8

She's a celebrity now probably has a red carpet laid out for her entrance

They just stated on the Broadcast that transportation issues in the immediate area are the cause of the delay. They wanted to give fans a bit more time to get into the stadium.

A death on one of the trains/stations.

Justin at RCB, so Bijol plays his normal sweeper. James playing RWB

[Carrick Dave]

See Melvin is starting. As we are in Nice at the mo I went into their club shop today and asked the assistant what he thought of Bard. He reckoned that he has really good games and also some not so good ones.

So lets hope he gets off on the right (sorry left) foot tonight against that lot.

If you’re free for the next year or two you could be our roving reporter.

Drop 64 a PM, he’ll sort out your very generous expenses.

[The Subhuman]

Horrible attempted clearance from Bijol

Yep, coupons to his favourite hair salon

[BlackHillsPaul]

Bard looks a bit tenacious based on his first challenge.

[BlancdeBlanc]

Chelsea don’t seem to have read the “no point in rolling round faking an injury” memo.

[BlackHillsPaul]

Zetterer was calm and positioned well on his first save.

[The Subhuman]

First touch has not been good so far....

[Cjay]

Aaronson has had the ball twice and lost it.

Great tackle Justin

Nmecha as well needs to make it stick better

[The Subhuman]

First save for Zetterer ...
