Probably hit your head or something. Hopefully your amnesia won't last for too long.
Tp be fair to Ange, its got us to a EL final so why stop now
Reguilon starting a game in order to preserve our first choice option?
Madness!

Who would you start?
I'm kidding, we had a debate over the merits of using Requilon previously, where you were vehemently against it.
Other than Kinsky I don’t want to see one senior player on that pitch tonight, I’ll allow Son to play the last 10 mins but other than that, all children please
Mighty decent of you as well.
I'd play the below team tonight:
Vicario
Spence Romero Danso Udogie
Gray Bissouma Sarr
Johnson Solanke Son
I'd like to see Bentancur, Porro and VDV get a full rest. Ideally, the below subs would be my preference.
60 mins: Davies for Romero
60 mins: Odobert for Udogie (Odobert plays in the 10, Gray moves to right back and Spence moves to left back)
60 mins: Richarlison for Solanke
70 mins: Tel for Son
70 mins: Moore for Johnson ( Moore can move to 10 if Odobert is struggling there)
I think this will help give us an idea for the final too as we'd get to see 3 CDM's play the first 60 mins, Odobert in the 10 for 20/30 and maybe even try Moore there for final 10 mins. We also get to see Gray and Sarr both playing in midfield to see how good they are. A full 90 for Danso playing as LCB for 60 mins and RCB for 30 mins gives him good exposure in case he'd needed to come on for one of the centre backs in the final too. I think this is the right balance of risk and rhythm.

Villa are 12 goals behind Chavs in 5th place, so a 13-0 battering will defo help us
If we dont win against Villa or Brighton it will be
1 win in the last 12 pl games of this season.
Im more a glass half empty kind of guy but I didnt expect just 1 win against Southampton in the last third of our season.
I will always be grateful for the bottom 3 being so bad this season. Should have been a really nervy finish and relegation fight.
I want levy to explain his decision to keep ange in the job for the whole season. It doesnt make sense no matter how you look at it.

He's kept Ange around because of the game next Wednesday, win that then the decision is completely justified, lose it then...
Then you're obviously crazy.
After we beat Ipswich away I said we’ll get one more win, Saints, but that would be it and we’d finish on 37pts.
Would you just play an entire second team? I was between 2 minds but given most our first 11 haven't played in 8 days, I thought playing some minutes would be beneficial! Otherwise most of our team would be going into the final cold off the back of a 13 day rest!
yep complete second team for this one with the exception of Son and maybe Sarr due to numbers.
------------------Kinsky------------------
Spence-----Danso----Davies----Reguillon
----‐-----------Gray----Sarr--------------
------------------Odobert-----------------
-----Moore-----------------------Son-----
-------------------Richarlison------------
Make a double half time or 60 minute sub with Son/Richi and Sarr going off for Bentancur and Tel.
Ah I see.
Was the league already over by then?
I think this is probably the only situation that I’d suggest Reggie but if I did say that then I’m a massive hypocrite.
I can live with that if we play Reggie and come through this game unscathed
Not a chance.
