38 game season splits after 33 games.

How do they determine home/away fixtures? Or do they play each side home and away?

How does this league work out?Celtic 1 game left is that right?

Nah, league splits and they have more fixtures to play

Not a clue how many or exactly how it's worked out 

7 points from 9 is a good return and would have taken it if offered before the 3 games, though the manner of the dropped points against Everton still rankles. It was so unnecessary from Dummett

After Liverpool beat Man U tomorrow we should have been a point ahead of them with the same games played

Battle for 6th will be between us, Man U, Chelsea and West Ham, and there won't be a huge margin for error as I think of the sides will put a run together

But that isn't how football works, Fulham beating them means very little, seeing as they then went and drew against a terrible Sheff Utd side and lost to Forrest. 

 

Spurs are a better side than Fulham. The way we played in that first half would be a dream for Spurs, we won't be let off the hook like Fulham just did.

 

Obviously I HOPE we get something against Tottenham but I am realistic considering how our form and performances have been this entire season.

I'd be surprised if we play that poorly at home

Even in the games we've dropped points (Luton, Forest, Bournemouth, Everton) we've created a decent amount of chances and looked threatening 

Today that first half was bad, struggled to even muster up an attempt whilst it was wave after wave of attack from Fulham 

That's not to say we'll beat Spurs, I just think we'll create chances, just got to hope we take them and tighten up defensively 

Good pass Longstaff, Isak should do better

That was awful from Longstaff, just so gormless

Clearly a tactical injury 

So Liverpool or Arsenal going to win the league, urghh 

His finishing is of such a high standard

I know some are obsessed with having a go at ASM every time Barnes does well but I'm one of those that was disappointed ASM was sold but equally excited that we had signed Barnes, simply because his finishing is several levels above ASM

Hopefully he can stay fit and he can continue to make a right mug of those saying he was a daft signing and those that were impatient because he wasn't amazing in every game after a long injury lay off

He won’t give a single fuck.  It feeds his ego to be called a “champion” even though he rarely starts.

 

Same with Kalvin Phillips.

Tbf Grealish has had patches where he has been really good for City and an important player

Phillips was just shit 

Raya booked for time wasting 

Took a while but surely those football purists wouldn't stoop to such low levels

Not a fan of Doku 

Got talent but find his end product is bang average 

Still no booking for Gabriel?

Arteta behaving like the scumbag that he is

Howay City, sort it out man

Gabriel with another foul, obviously still no booking

Can you imagine the hell on if it was NUFC kicking their players off the pitch like that? ? different when they do it though, not a peep on twitter.

And the time wasting, apparently we are the only side that does it and they never do

Terrible game so far

City with all the ball but creating nothing

Arsenal happy to sit back and rely on the counter 

Arsenal will be the much happier of the two sides and I fancy them to nick it as they look comfortable at the back

City with all the ball but not created anything other than the Ake chance from the corner 

A second foul from Jesus and still no booking 

Bernardo Silva is a joy to watch 

Fancy Arsenal to grab a result here

On the penalties, there isn't any dispute about the first one, only have to see the reaction of Coufal to know it was clear

The second one will be debated for a while with no agreement, I lean towards it being a penalty.

Still cant get over that fucking whopper singling out the poor ballboy, what a fucking nodger man, wtf is all that about?

Tbf it seemed like he was politely asking for it and the ballboy looked like he knew that but pretended he couldn't hear him

Don't think Kudus was being a dick like some seem to be suggesting 

I'm not even that bothered by his poor finishing, find him getting into those spaces quite commendable 

It's the rest of his game that is a massive concern 

He's weak in the tackle, decision making is terrible, his touch is poor and his passing is shocking 

At the start of this season and last he was much better, hoping this is just the injury affecting him and he can get back to being an asset rather than the hindrance he currently is

Though, if offered anything north of £10m I'd take it 

Yeah, he was class today

Think for a while he's not been quite on it, even in games like Wolves/Chelsea where he scored I thought he was poor

However today he was quality, kept dropping deep and their defence didn't know what to do and that pass to Barnes was perfection
