I can feel 0-0 in my (3am) waters.

I'm not actually up for a wee like the old codgers on the other thread, just up with a screaming baby (I'd rather just need a piss TBF)

Anthony Taylor
Good chance of at least a yellow for Roberto for raising a quizzical eyebrow on the touchline following a Taylor/VAR howler.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

This next game could be season-defining.
