2-0 City now. Hopefully Cardiff's GD will take a pounding tonight.

It was mentioned a few times on the post-match thread. Which you obviously didn't bother reading because we won.

Yeah, probably right. I'm just mindful that we put out a weakened team against them at home in December, knowing full well we wouldn't win, in order to rest key players for a more winnable game. But even with them playing they play their first 11 (and with Aguero being out injured), I would say the chances of them having significantly improved their GD over us by 10pm on Friday are pretty minimal.

Ha! Reminds me of that video of the pro-Brexit protester trying and failing to set fire to an EU flag, due to it being non flammable thanks to EU safety rules.

May's statement in a nutshell: I'm going to keep bringing my withdrawal agreement back to the commons and if it doesn't pass next time then it's all Jeremy Corbyn's fault. Utterly, utterly delusional.

They are away at Citeh tomorrow night, and Warnock has already said he will play mostly U23s. Liverpool could beat us 10-0 and we would still have a very healthy GD advantage over Cardiff.

It is true there are very few certainties surrounding the whole Brexit issue. But one thing that we can all say for absolute certain is that Trump and his administration will never sign up to any FTA with the UK that doesn't heavily favour US interests. To claim that any such suggestion is just 'project fear' would require a total inability or unwillingness to look at basic facts and evidence.

50/1 now. Will likely lengthen or shorten later today, depending on the Cardiff v Chelsea result.

Burnley got very lucky. Their first goal was an OG and they blatantly should have had a penalty given against them for handball.

Not quite. Long scored against Leicester. But it looked like it was off target and Schmeichel diverted it in.

Yeah that's ridiculous.

Into 'Murray' time.

What the buggering hell is going on? We can't even string 3 passes together at the moment. Will be amazed if we manage to hold on for the win now.

What the hell's happened? We were looking so in control and all of a sudden Brighton have jumped up a gear or two and having some pressure.

Gallagher coming on for Ings?

Definitely the team asking more questions of the opposition defence so far, but lacking any real penetration. I get the sense that Brighton will be happy to play out a draw, which really doesn't suit us as we always struggle to break down those teams. Ings definitely looking a little rusty, understandably, but still far more of a threat than a fully fit Austin or Long. Hojbjerg MOTM so far for me. He's been the main instigator of pretty much all our decent attacking play and is making some great runs.

He was, briefly.

Finally going with the preferred back four, with Vestergaard not even on the bench. Is this the 4-2-2-2 that Ralph is apparently so in favour of?

The fact there hasn't been a single major poll showing a leave majority for over two years now suggests it is.

Today of all days!
