I've fucked Man City off except Haaland. They're not keeping clean sheets anyway. Brought Botman in for Cancelo. I'm a bit stumped on a keeper to bring in to rotate with Ward. Ederson crossed my mind but as above and too expensive. Kepa? Raya? Had Pope for ages but want to keep space for 3 NUFC outfield players now.

Arsenal charged by the FA for failing to control their players against Oxford. That's 2 games in a row, innit?

This is all so exciting like The fat vindictive wanker who owned the club previously actively robbed us of these occasions. Makes it all the sweeter now.

It's just hit me that my granda who is a season ticket holder is 86 or something and probs won't want to go to Wembley if we get there. The final is on my birthday and I'm in London so hoping to God now that a) we get to the final and b) I can get a ticket. Probs need to fight it out with my brothers mind

(sorry)

99 cup* (sorry!) Would be quite poetic meeting them in the final with it being the last final we got to.

European clubs can make a killing off PL clubs these days. Guess it needs to be part of their business model, with comparatively low TV money.

Fucking hate this co-commentator. Every chance missed he thinks it's his job to into tediously precise detail on what they should have done differently. It happens in a split second man you idiot, the player was trying his best to score.

Beckham's performance against Greece in that qualifier was unbelievable. None of the other 10 England players turned up that day but he was like a man possessed.

PL stadium. Stupid rule.

Arteta wasn't a deep lying #6, was he? Certainly not like the others, he was always a huge goal threat at Everton anyway.

Yeah they need to stockpile a few more attacking midfielders like.

My (other) brother was there, said it was an absolute joke getting in. Lots of bottlenecks on the way in and they had to rip off netting that covered 3 rows or else they couldn't work out how everyone was going to fit in.

If you ever needed confirmation our squad is nowhere near good enough, this was it. Needs improving, desperately.

Love Isak, like.

Plus we had significant periods where we were on top in the game. It was a similar split of pressure to us at Liverpool earlier on this season. Maybe 65% Arsenal 35% us. They were the home side. A lot of people being duped by the first 5 minutes and the last 10 minutes into thinking Arsenal were hugely dominant. They weren't.

RIP. Great player and seemed a real gent.

I want Chelsea to win like. City are our nearest competitors and I don't see Chelsea putting a run together that allows them to gain on us. I'm far more concerned about Man Utd, then Liverpool, then Spurs.

Agreed. God rest your soul.

I've got zero Chelsea players cos any of them I bring in always piss me off. They don't have a reliable goalscorer and James is made of glass. Saying that I might bring in Kepa next so I can rotate with Ward rather than having double-Leicester.

Chelsea strategy seems to be look at the tabloid rumours page, find the players it says the clubs are holding out for a high fee for, then offer significantly more than the rumoured current bid.

Div wants every PL game to be a fucking test match.

For me it's telling how upset Arteta was last night. A point against the team in 3rd wasn't a bad result for them, and still leaves them in a brilliant position. Says to me he is worried about the wheels falling off.
