G'day folks!

(I've come over all Aussie... don't mind me)

It's the Johnson Cup today and current holder is young pretender LJ whilst Daddy dearest watches his little boy bask in the glory of a win in this prestigious grudge match. 

 

Obviously, we all know GJ used to hold the family bragging rights round the dinner table in Portishead when his Yeovil team walloped LJ's Oldham 4-0 back in 2014. 

 

Johnson Snr hasn't had the easiest of seasons after his heart op and then being readmitted with his leg issue so he'll be looking forward to tonight's game with relish. To put one past the whippersnapper would show an old dog can still do tricks. 

 

Also LJ has had a rocky trip from the start of last season until now. His old man's medical issues not withstanding, Junior has had his head on the block more times than Cathy Barry has nailed fellas. Somehow though, the guillotine never fell and LJ lived to tell the tale. After a pretty successful pre-season and jolly in Tenerife, he'll also be looking to show his old man that youth is sometimes better than experience.

 

Mr Flint has once again been the subject of rumour since he was omitted from Saturday's friendly against the Tenerife locals. And just last night, a journo on the wind up on Twitter spouted the usual "Leeds have made a bid" bollocks. Note to journos reading this; it's getting fewking boring now... at least change the subjects and clubs involved in these rumours, up a bit...

 

On to tonight, Tammy mk2 aka Bobby Reid to finally get that hat-trick. Famara with a tap in. 4-1 to City and LJ retains the crown. 

 

Come on you purples!

Hopefully that team suggests Flint is hanging around.

Think it tells us a few other things too:

With Frankie having a well deserved rest Lucic is in front of O'Leary (which suggests he'll be on the bench v Barnsley if no other keeper joins).

Vyner is ahead of Moore.

Engvall will be in the squad unless we get another forward in.

Pretty sure someone there will work out who the trialist is before too long..

Apparently this is an audition for Vyner to be joining Cheltenham though that doesn't make sense to me.
