Pedri is a joy to watch. It’s like he has the ball on a string when he’s dribbling in tight areas.

Barca looking lively every time they attack. So much room whenever they get forward. You feel like they need a goal before half time. As I can’t see Bayern being so open second half.

Yep, would have been some goal after the build up from Dembele and the pass from Gavi.

Mary Poppins. What’s that? Didn’t realise that cunt had a podcast.

Those two finishes from outside of the box from Lewy, man. Best player in world football at just creating and angle and stroking it into the bottom corner. You basically know it’s going close the minute he cuts in.

That’s Gomez out wide, I think. Trent is stood on the edge of the box. Loafing about and just watching like a half interested bystander

The lads I know that support them. Say Thiago is their most important player and they are so much worse without him. So I guess it’s also why they can struggle when it matters. As you can’t build your team around someone that is injured for a third of every season.

The King of the FIFA finesse finish. Two of them just casually slotted bottom corner from outside the box.

ASM looks like he’s in France again doing his rehab. Or at least he was. Based on not a lot, other than him posting a pic with his boots on the other week. It seems like Bruno might be closer to returning. I guess they’d need to train at the back end of the week and we might be holding off and giving them as long as possible. To see if that’s possible before West Ham, I suppose? I don’t expect either to play and fuck knows with Wilson. Probably out until Christmas.

Potter to Chelsea has failure written all over it, doesn't it? I really rate Potter. What he has done with Brighton has been amazing. But it's been built over time with a complete investment from everyone at the club. I've skim read pieces saying how his tactics are insanely complex and he needs certain types of players to suit. Will the egos at Chelsea fully buy into his methods, or their styles even suit? He's not a big name and seems like they downed tools for Tuchel. Plus they get rid of their manager every 18 months or so. So it doesn't really fit with a longer term build. I think it would be a bad move for him. But in saying that, he has proven he deserves a top job and will get paid a fortune whether he is a success there or not.

That’s fucking brilliant. Like the antithesis of Bruce/Pardew and basically the whole Ashley reign. Quality answer.

Mental. Looks like it hit the 8 and 9 worse, mind? Weghorst was nowhere near being hit.

Not something I have ever put much stock in, to be honest. But I have to say, I’m half keeping a mental note of some kind of baseline points tracker this season. I can’t speak for others. But it’s probably the first time in a decade or more. Where I have actually felt positive about the team and genuinely thought we might be able to finish in a position that means something. Other than the standard 11th to 20th that seemed the norm for so many years. So I guess that’s why I’m actually paying attention to points and the league position.

Everyday is a school day. Cheers lads.

Oh wow! Why not just fucking write that then. Never knew them as FC bunch of letters. On this game. They have struggled for goals, haven’t they? If we have 2-3 of the lads missing back. I think we can win this. We seem pretty solid at the back and will get space on the counter with it being away from home.

Yep. Playing at home against FC FCSB according to Live Score. No. Not a clue, either

After all these years. Arsenal are still suicidal at the back. Thought they might have learnt after the first one from Rashford. But carved open again

Yet to see this ‘dog’ Martinez. Being absolutely bullied every time he goes near a 50/50. Saka and Jesus have bounced him a couple of times already.

Yeah. Arsenal been by far the better team. Delicious through ball from Odegaard. That’ll be like Bruno threading it through to Isak soon enough……

True, but I don’t think it is the right call. Fuck all contact. Not to make him go over like that, anyway. That is never getting called back to give a penalty if it wasn’t awarded, for example. Soft as shite and again, not a clear and obvious error.

This Antony is another opposition player that is going to be easy to dislike. Looks decent, plays for those cunts, kisses the badge and then does the Austin Powers tiger pose after scoring.

Absolutely sick to death of VAR now. Seems to ruin every other game I watch. What are we, 6-7 games in and it has somehow got worse from last season?

Fucking sick of it now. If you need to look at it 30 times. It isn’t a clear and obvious error FFS. What’s happened to this enhanced level of contact or whatever it’s called? Soft as fuck that foul. Ref and VAR ref both from Salford? Surely not?!

Aye. Bruno regularly looks for through balls. Trippier to a degree when he is more advanced, as well. This lad looks like he needs that service in behind and he is plenty quick enough to take advantage of them. Teams won’t be able to step out and try and stifle the midfield and the likes of ASM when we are at full strength. Can’t fucking wait.

King Lewy. He is absolutely ruthless in front of goal. Proper machine and I will forever be in a sulk that he was robbed of a Balon d’Or.
