THE MATCH - FRIDAY THE 13th OF MAY AT 19:45 BST

Well here we are   the not quite big one but big enough to be quite a big match   and a word of warning before we start   if anybody post's anything remotely like "it's only half time" after the first game they will have earned themselves a permanent place, alongside DJ, in the Muppet League   

Seriously though, there's not much more I can say about this one as we all know the score   apart from Brighton have Dunk and Stephens suspended   and we do owe this lot one from that FA cup semi back in the 80's 

Oh, and if anyone even mentions Canada, any derivatives of the said word, or posts any pictures of anything to do with it they will also spend next season in the Muppet League Sponsored by PEI   


THE LAST MATCH

I'm in the Madsteve camp on this one. I can't believe CC made so many changes   A few tweaks yes but f'uck me    I know the result in terms of points didn't matter but form is infectious and I for one hated missing any game I could play and would often feel out of sorts for a game or two before getting back up to speed   I suppose we'll have to trust CC for the moment   and then slaughter him after 

THE ROAD AHEAD

Is long and winding and very probably yellow and ends at a 'T' junction   Which direction are we going to take 

OUR TEAM

Wallace is available again   So is Hutch   I hope CC has sent him on holiday though. We won't win with nine on the pitch and Hutch always comes back three games before his head   I say nine because the ref will obviously send FF off for simulation because it's on telly 

What we can't afford to do is start 4-4-2 and go a goal behind as it will be game over. I'd definitely start with Atdhe as BHA will be missing Dunk at the back and he can put the shits up the stand in

CURRENT FORM

Is out of the window as it counts for Jack Shit in games like these   so most people would have us believe 

BIG MAN'S LEAGUE

Current Table

I'm assuming nobody won owt from the last game as Chaz hasn't updated it and I'm deducting one from Owlkev (which I can add back later) as we can't play on Friday the 13th and have the BML leader on 13   at the same time   not that I'm superstitious or owt    just being careful

Nice one, Maddix!!

Agreed, we all expected Bowie to make changes at the weekend but to the extent he did, was it too far? As you say we don't know yet.

Would hate to see a 442 but that's how he seems to like to start. Hutch better keep a cool head.
I thought this ref did Ok at the weekend in the Leicester PL game, probably got mugged into Vardy's second penalty but there was a bit of contact. I'd still keep an eye on him around Fessi though..

So this is it!! We've been waiting for it. Beers are in the fridge
