Maybe I should stop posting prematch takes on X. Or maybe it’s a continuation of the reverse jinx.

Plenty of punching down material by the lads too.

Seems like a penalty is a massive over reward for most of the handballs we see.

The lawyer’s house was built by my parents. There was a real tinge of sadness watching those scenes. Very strange watching someone else in your mum’s kitchen.

Neil Lennon’s going to be wearing a gum shield of snus the way this game is going.

Not all weekend previews are the same. You won’t find anything like Fitbatweets anywhere else.

And it’s now only £20 for a year’s subscription - full access to over 1,500 cartoons.

Do it (and if you already subscribe then thank you).

Hat tip to @90minutecynic.bsky.social for planting the seed and if you remember The Numskulls from the Beano then this one’s for you.
