Hope we get Bayern in the knock out rounds.

Oh, that useless fucking rat Swede.

He's got plenty of pundits to do that for him.

I think Wilson had better numbers than him that first season with us. Don't think he was particularly happy about not being the main man.

Is this the modern equivalent of Klinsmann driving around in an old Volkswagen Beetle?

Palace haven't lost in 18 games and sit second in the table. (I get what you mean though. The Big Six)

Positive result might keep Amorim in his job just a bit longer.

Fabrizio Romano "Anderson only wants Liverpool" would be the end of me.

Well, I'm ok with Sunderland staying up, if Forest go down and we get Anderson.

Missed that. Good appointment.

Nuno Espírito Santo is available.

Unusual number of previews online about this match. All heavily Arsenal-centric. Remarkable how little they know or care about our squad. Some lip service about our midfield three and a mention of Woltemade. Saw some mook claiming we would start Gordon as a striker. FFS. And then a long discussion about Saliba's contract.

The point is that the members of the cartel are not hurt by a series of poor signings while Villa are absolutely crippled. The league is bent.

I think they beat us 0-2 in 2023.

Didn't make any sense to me either. Starting Willock against Arsenal seems like madness.

From the Athletic. Some accompanying charts too.

Chris Wood had more combined goals and assists than Palmer last season.

What's the source on this? Internet search returns some stories mostly from Isaeli or Arabic sources about a initiative lead by Qatar, nothing concrete. I would expect this to be a fairly big story, but there's nothing at the Guardian or Athletic...

Agree that we should have tried to offload him this past window if not before... and in the same breath, I hope he starts against Bradford.

Welcome return. OK, so i get why he didn't start against Barcelona. He'll play himself into our first 11 and the England squad.

Speak for yourself. Unbeatrable.

It's Arsenal. We have injuries. What's your excuse Mikel?

He came into the game. Needs starts and minutes. Definitely starts against Bradford.
