Is there anyone who posts on here from the future able to tell me that it’s all going to be ok?

If it's any use to you I can tell you how the match thread will go.

100% understanding that in a tough game like this we may be backs to the wall and scrapping from time to time?

Yeah, something like that. Sure I'll not soil the surprise...

I’d go as far as saying for the first in a long time, we have a stronger bench than city today

And starting 11. It's remarkable really.

22 minutes to go!!

It’s so good that all our players are fit - we had no Trent or Thiago earlier this season + a very rusty VVD. We have no excuses now - can’t blame injuries or squad depth…… let’s make a statement today.

We just need fair officiating and then it’s there for us - feeling very bullish now

How apt. The rise of Man City scheduled on Sky directly after the fall of Man City. Hope they aren't expecting many viewers.

Feel relaxed. Feel we have the better team, but need to prove it today. Record isn’t great there and hasn’t been for 10 years or so, so we’ll be up against this.

This is it!

Let's go!

[Buzzo]

Good luck lads. We all deserve to witness a win here.

Early booking for Walker would be good
