Starting for Egypt this afternoon. Hopefully the game time will do him the world of good.

Really looking forward to seeing him link up with Coutinho. Buendia seems to get annoyed easily when some of ours players aren’t on his wavelength or when they don’t react as quickly as him. I think Coutinho and him will love playing together behind either Watkins or Ings.

McGinn will be a big loss to us make no mistake. What we need to do is make Villa Park as hostile and electric as possible, like it was when we beat Everton on our return to the Premier League. Can’t see Coutinho starting but a decent cameo from the bench should spice things up a bit.

Cheltenham is a nice place/area and not far from his home either. Sensible move and hopefully works out well for him.

It did indeed finish 2-0 to Blues. Take nothing away from them but seems Arsenal had some Covid cases as they could only name five subs. Saving grace today was that Leicester lost again. As long as we don’t lose to Blues and Leicester during the second half of the season then we should be ok.

Blues beating Arsenal 2-0 so far this afternoon. Would be a major shock if they get the win.

The ideal for me would be Watford beat Newcastle, lose to Burnley and then beat Norwich. That would surely put Newcastle in a right dire mess?

I hadn’t even thought about it being an evening game and on TV. As you say, the atmosphere will be electric. I suppose the question now is will he be fit enough to start the game?

Good day for classic films on ITV4 today, especially if you like Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Steve McQueen: 11:00 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 13:20 The Sting 15:55 The Towering Inferno If you’re a big kid like me still, Film4 are showing: WarGames and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad.

Carol Vorderman, even at 61 years still has plenty to offer.

At least he can string some words together and has internet access. Bless.

Lost. Mate. Shots: Home 7 Away 22 Shots on Target: Home 0 Away 6

You’re probably right re the Championship, but the loss of Premier League money even for one season, seriously damages your ability to spend thereafter. I think I’m right in saying that under FFP rules you have to declare your Championship earnings as part of your 3 year accounts or something? Is that right?

Losing. Mate.

After 90 minutes, zero shots on target.

4th round - Aston Villa v Kidderminster Harriers. Would be fantastic.

Think I’ll pass.

Bruce isn’t impressed either. He’ll need a large naan kebab and all the sauces to get over today.

Absolutely, I’ll never forget those knees in Basic Instinct.

Sharon Stone is 64 years old in a couple of months. Still a very attractive woman.

Having won already at Old Trafford earlier this season, we should have nothing to fear. They do have incredible quality in forward positions but their new coach doesn’t seem to know how to get the best from them. Rashford, Cavani, Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood, are all a danger but we have quality as well. Fitness and Covid permitting again, the team pretty much picks itself apart from one two positions. I’m guessing McGinn can play this one but will miss the next league game? If it’s this one, then apologies and Carney in if so. Going to say 1-2 win.

He may also have one eye on making the World Cup squad. If he scores goals he may just sneak in.
