No Joelinton. Shame

Over. Lol

So there isn’t a default spot in conference league for a league place? Say if we finished tenth having won the cup, we would be in conference league and no other English team would be?

So if we finish in the Champions League or Europa league places what happens to the Conference League spot from the Carabao? It just disappears?

I’ve got quite a few mates who are palace fans, one of whom is at the game with his lad who are coming back to stay at mine after, couldn’t be more happy for them. I know it’s not the best for us, but now I know what that feeling is, I want those I care about to feel the same, particularly with their families. Can’t wait to see them both in a few hours. Gonna be a long night.

The mind games theory isn’t a bad shout. Not knowing if he plays until close to kick off really means Arsenal can’t be in any way sure what formation we are lining up with either. If we said he was definitely fit then it’s fair for them to assume we will definitely go 3 at back.

What is absolutely insane is that a spurs and Man Utd double is over 50s. £20 on that and it comes in would be a pretty lovely day. Of course I’ve lumped on the Chelsea Villa double to ensure it doesn’t happen

Two pubs in the centre and neither show sports. Bamburgh a few mins down the road and will definitely be showing at Victoria hotel (pub set up) edit: Schooner Inn in Seahouses shows as having sports (sky and TNT) and is pretty central. Clearly missed that a few weeks ago when there

I think Emery deserves to be on the list, particularly if Villa make the UCL again

Match or better both Forest and Villa and we are there bar a 16 goal swing on last day. Forest and Villa lose before we play and we’ve qualified effectively edit: same applies on unrealistic goal swings required if forest draw as well. So Villa lose, forest don’t win, arsenal game is something of a party unless we lose by 8

Even if all of them plus Chelsea and Manchester Utd buy 5 of the best players on the market each, that’s 25 players across the planet. We’ve got to hope between our scouts, Howe and our owners we can still land plenty of decent talent. Botman and Tonali weren’t at the top of their lists and Isak and Bruno we got in front of Arsenal to get. I’m not going to get disheartened before the window even opens, we still haven’t had UCL confirmed so cannot act officially anyhow

As with every game against the Sky 6, the coverage (at least that I’ve seen) is all about Arsenal getting second and having the squad back and how they could win the league next year. I hope this is being relayed to our lot in similar terms to the Manc game a couple of years back. If we actually do pull it out the bag and end up second then the narrative has to change. Conversely a tiny bit of me thinks that Eddie, if he could pick with no risk of missing out, might prefer us in 4th or 5th and another season a tiny bit more under the radar.

Feel like fate has them coming up after that

That’s 400 mins of my life I’m not getting back

Lucky fucks

Get in

This referee is so easily influenced by the crowd

Multiple foul throws. Fucking hell

Might be the worst offside decision in history

Rudoni is fucking awful

Going to regret these misses

Arguably two yellows that

Dreadful decision that

The aggregate score briefly changed to 3-3 then. Maybe sky know the future

This is absolutely diabolically bad
