Hands up if you'd take a point right now.

Hope it's a strain rather than a tear. Add a new striker to the list Mr Howe.

Wilson's fucked here

Recurring theme here. 1 Bernardo Silva sot missing for £38. Bet was virtually in by HT

Can't be a pen, he never had the ball.

Should only have focused on Covid players ruled out imo. PL needed to come out and say something like "If you've got 5 or more (vaccinated) players out with Covid then you can make an application to get a match postponed" Injured players don't count, use the kids Coaching staff don't count get on with it. Unvaccinated players out with covid don't count, use the kids. Last one will be a bit controversial but it's clear some are takin the piss and using it as an excuse to rest a few bodies and play when it's more convenient, I don't blame them either, they're taking advantage of a situation the PL have created. Lack of clarity and consistent criteria have caused this.

The whole point in asking for donations was to help to force the hand of Ashley and get a (very thin) slice of things when it happened. Very noble of them and not too much to be quarrelled with tbh. Then the Saudis come in and buy the club up in a fingersnap. New owners, new board, new vision and the 1% dream disappears instantly. About 3 days later Hurst decides he wants to take his place at the top of the board but the donations continue to be taken. There's several rabbits away with this lot, as a collective, unfortunately. The money generated is a huge question mark. The leadership, the aims, the money generated and direction of the trust need to be explained asap. I've known Greg a long time and I trust him personally but the whole thing has huge question marks hanging over it as an entity. Time for communication and honesty.

Sure plenty will welcome him back, times a great healer (apoarently) but I'd want nothing to do with him personally. He used to be a bit of a hero to me but I've got no time for racists, he can fuck clean off

Pay it, fuck it. Staring down the barrell right now, nothing to lose. Same with Trippier, just cough up right now and worry about the pennies at a later date once we've ensured we've stayed up. Needs must and the needs are fucking massive right now.

If you were to ask me to name three signings, I probably wouldn't say M'bappe, Haaland... I'd go Rodon, Botman, Sule. Trippier.

It's mad how happy they are despite being fucking smashed tonight. They had a decent 15 mins once Arsenal had their 2 goal lead and were taking a bit of a breather but rarely threatened. Honestly think they're more concerned about fans singing and it looking good than the actual result on the park.

Still think they should just call the League's bluff an go ahead an sign the deals we want. Say something (legally) like "we think this is a bit shit and unfair and we think it's unenforceable if we take it through the courts. We're going to sign the deals regardless, formally challenge your rules (with City's backing) and if we happen to lose in court then we'll renegotiate and come to some kind of compromise. We're either separate from the state or we're not? You found no links in October" Can't run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds.

Arsenal handled them like a £20 whore. They even took it easy on them, the ref took pity on them and they still got splattered. They seem delighted though. They'll go back knowing they only have to face fellow League 1 sides for the next 9 months or so.

They've given it a go I'll happily admit. Scored a nice goal too but the gulf is just too big for them. Once the second went in Arsenal just started toying with them, like a cat with a mouse.

This is the football equivalent of keeping a windmilling dwarf at arms length with a hand to it's head. Arsenal are in complete control of the situation.

When are they supposed to actually qualify for these tournaments? Or will they just allow the top 20 selected nations automatic entry and have the minnows do the qualifying to make up the numbers? It's a shit idea and driven purely by greed, hope the players themselves object and refuse to play

Depends on the teams. If they're missing a few then we could scratch out a draw maybe. We'll need to score 2 to do it though. No way we keep a clean sheet

Last game of the season could be tasty.

Si

It'll come across as sour grapes to many but I think they had to make some kind or statement or protest, the nature and volume of questionable decisions we've been on the wrong end of recently is ridiculous. At some point you need to question the 'just unlucky' and 'it'll even itself out' bollocks. It's happening way too often to be a simple coincidence.

I could kick him in the face for a month and not stop laughing all the way through. He's the piece of shit's piece of shit. The cretin's cretin.

If Paul Dummett is the answer then I absolutely do not want to know what the question is. He's turboshit.

Can only assume VAR today came direct from rural Derbyshire and got used to officiating those Shrove Tuesday matches with a pigs bladder where one half of the village try to get it through 2 trees at the bottom of the bank or whatever. They're a fucking disgrace. Literally making it up as they go along without any regulation or accountability at all.

More or less guaranteeing defeat selecting him, he's that bad. He's shot to bits mentally and physically and needs to drop down a few divisions so he can look competitive again. He's done here and at any other club in the top 2 divisions.

Straightforward Sunday League hack. No intent to play the ball, just a violent hack straight through the leg. I'd give it a red personally but I'd be lying if I said I've not done the exact same thing when I've been fucked off towards the end of a match.
