A nice calm end to a fantastic week, but I'll still be p1ssed off if we lose
Good to see Pascal in the line up and hopefully Poveda on at half time - no injuries please
And tonight my fellow whites we wave bye bye to the Championship and say hello (again) to the Premiership.
Looking forward to playing in the Premiership but its a bit of a shame that we have still got one or two sh1tholes to visit like Burnley.
Looking dominant. Great work down the right side in particular.
‘kin ‘ell! White!
