Hard to say, our last 4 encounters with them we were shocking, 5 if we add the 2-1 from 23/24 when we played poorly, but won.
I think we are at the point where we can ask: what happens if they beat us?

Recently we have a poor record against them even though they are without doubt the worst rag team in PL History. I am also of the opinion Pep is responsible for the record, poor tactics/team selection the obvious cause. They have some dangerous forwards now, Mbeuno is a good player, I don’t even know what team will be selected. Feel we are in a bit of a mess just now.

Not looking forward to it at all. Would not be surprised if we had our asses handed to us.
Equally I wouldn't be surprised if we won convincingly as well.
Which kind of sums up where we are as a team presently. Not knowing whether we will turn up or not.

This is pretty much where I am. Absolutely no idea what to expect from this team. Not looking forward to it one little bit.

Do we ever look forward to Derby day, even when we were arse raping every one, racking up titles.
When Derby day arrives the sickness in the gut starts, I'm trying to distract myself until I wake up on Sunday.
I try to convince myself that they are still shitter than us despite where we've been over recent months.

Pep will embarrass us again —- he has form for it.
At least his squad is getting smaller - after all , that was his wish.

I used to. Even when we were shite i knew we'd give it our best and occasionally we played well!
And the last 20 odd years we have been much more competitive and most of the last 10 we've been miles ahead of the rags, so I was rarely nervous before derby games. We had some poor results against them of course, you can never winning them all. But we handed out some right doings quite often.
But something has changed within our camp and I don't think it's for the better. We are unravelling and this Saturday comes at a bad time

There's a lot of question marks over Pep and the team at the moment. That said, lets have a bit of balance, they've just scraped a win at home against Burnley with an added time penalty. Their keeper is suspect and they are largely shite. I see this as making or breaking our season. No selection brainfarts. We turn up, we win. IF we put in another Spurs like performance, Pep will find it hard to recover. Start of a big week

Any arse kissing by Pep to the rags before the game and I'll change my mind from wanting him to stay to binning him off. Sick of it

Why is this the late game on Sunday?

If we lose this match he can get on the next plane to Barcelona , as far as I’m concerned.

You do know this is the men's team playing and not the women's don't you?

Makes zero sense when I've mentioned Pep, but I wouldn't expect anything less from you.

Away camping, in the pub -
Me - "what score was the rags?"
Lad we're with - "they scored a winner 90+ mins. Penalty"
Me - "hahahaha good one. What was the score really?"
Lad we're with - "genuinely..."
Utterly fuckin corrupt to the core.
Focusing on the women's now. My daughter has been chosen to be a mascot for their first home game in a few weeks. Fuck the FA fuck the Prem
You lasted less than a fortnight. Is women's football that bad?
