DCL will blatantly start against us mind.

4 points from the next 2 would be nice IMO.

Will be deeply disappointed if we don't take 3 points off this Everton side.

We have the equal best defence in the league, along with City and Brighton. That stat has blown my mind.

And a rapist.

Haydn was just having a laugh and where humour is concerned, nothing is off the table. It might not be funny, but he's well within his rights to joke about whatever he wishes. The idea that he has an obsession with rape is nonsense and just a jibe designed to put him down at the first hurdle and it failed. I like KaKa and Froggy but both are basically offended because it's their guy that's being talked about. When Adam Johnson gets mentioned, the morality police are nowhere to be seen. Ultimately, we all need to stop taking what we read on the Internet so seriously. The world isn't full of sunshine and roses and never will be. I'm learning everyday that if you keep getting worked up every day by things that annoy you and you don't agree with, it weighs you down. I'd much rather yous had just called Haydn a cunt than tried to take the moral high ground.

He played a number 6 in both games. We just dominated the ball so much that he was playing in the opposition half.

Has to be this: Pope Trippier Schar Botman Targett Bruno Joelinton Willock Miggy ASM Wilson Howe might play Lascelles with Burn/Botman.

On a target of 1.5 points per game, which would see us with the average points haul for a side aiming to finish 7th. We are currently on 1.55, which is encouraging. Plenty of highs an lows to go but we are currently on for 7th place.

Big test of character for Arsenal.

@HeronI was just wondering if it might be possible to somehow have a 3D flag display. It would have to be coming out of the east stand (facing the cameras). I like the idea of a Magpie seemingly coming out of the stand onto the pitch. I don't even know if its physically possible or not but it would be amazing to see.

Actual God would have got a 4. Bruno does that against Man Utd he gets 10.

Ref got both decisions correct.

Just think we need to go our own way. Sign the players Howe and Co want. It hasn't gone bad so far.

Has anyone actually got the footage of Darren Lewis waxing lyrical?

Late ratings: Pope 6 Was lucky their goal was ruled offside Trippier 8 Assist, bossed it. Schar 6 Same as pope. Botman 7 Some lush balls Burn 5 Probably his weakest performance for us. Willock 8 Bossed it for large periods. Desperate for a goal. Bruno 9 Two Goals, he's God basically. Longstaff 6 Lost the ball a couple of times but played well other wise. Miggy 8 A thorn all day, in fine form. Murphy 7 Another positive game. Wilson 7 Will be annoyed with himself for not scoring.

I'm not having this Man Utd side. They just aren't very good. We can't be going to Old Trafford thinking we are playing Man Utd circa 2003, we are going there playing Spurs circa 2003. Don't let the size and reputation of the club convince you otherwise. They are very beatable, provided the refs don't give them everything.

Theres a first, mackems on top of a table.

Not entirely sure but by my calculations he has 9 goals in 16 games including friendlies. Of course friendlies "don't count" but still impressive form.

Aye, Toney dummies the ball after coming back from an offside position.

Late to post but my thoughts: I actually thought we played better against Palace and Bournemouth at times. The difference was that Frank didn't play a low block, which is suicide against us. If you sit behind the ball and ask us to break you down, then we might struggle but if you open up and leave spaces we work the ball very well. They gifted us 3 goals but you have to take into account the sheer persistence of our pressure. In this league, if you want to play out from the back, you need to be bloody good or it can cost you. Ultimately Brentford had Mee and Ajer trying to play out and thats crackers in reality. Wilson should have had 2 goals today, let's hope he saving them for Old Trafford.

Simon Jordan will love that.

Flags taking the mick out of Simon Jordan.

Classic Lee Charnley move that, just when the footballing world expects a change of manager, bam, a new long contract.

I'm here for nostalgia from this past year... jizz it all over my face and I will take it like a whore.
