I do want to strangle these commentators though. Everything good Brentford do they're all "Toney is AMAZING" and when we do something well its "lucky".

I can't tell if West Ham are good or not. Reminds me of us under Pardew a bit. Some good players but I've no idea what their gameplan is. Was thinking to myself how shit Zouma is and then he scores. Harsh on Wilson but I want Isak on at half time to run at them.

Are we sure Pope is ok?

Watching that Spurs game didn't exactly lower my expectations here.

It's a penalty and i was raging for a while. The fact that it was a clear head injury and they were allowed to play on as well was a disgrace.

Seems to get everything right all the time. Thought we had 4 effective subs yesterday which hasn't been the case for most of the season. Having Wilson come on up top, and 2 decent wingers in Anderson and Gordon fresh to re-ignite our intensive press was amazing. Also Joelinton coming on to run around like a madman with all that pent up energy, Fake Bruno was just scared of him and pussied out of the challenges. Imagine next season if we can get 3 or 4 more top class players to fight over positions his toolbox will be so much better. He has so much class as well. Happy to tell the opposition wanker to fuck off to his face, but still maintains class in interviews which make the likes of Klopp, Ten Hag and Arteta look like the petty little people that they are. Love him!

Gordon and Trippier made a clone with their combined sperm

Story of our season this if we don't get top 4, poor finishing from midfield. We are playing so well, but I don't want to know the amount of points we've thrown away this season from panicking in front of goal. Longstaff arguably should have had 1, Willock most definitely should have had 2. The 2nd miss is pretty bad but the first is the worst by far. The goal is open and I'd liken the finish to a girl pushing a ball away after someone throws it at her unexpectedly. Really hope this won't be another game where we end up wishing someone hit the back of the net. We are so much better than this trash Manu side.

Just watched the offside situation again and i really shouldn't have, raging again. You can clearly see the defender reaching for the ball and kicking it away.

It is worrying how every year we seem to get more of the "raising the bar" just for regular fouls and yellow cards. Against Wolves we had it exactly the same that defenders were basically manhandling Isak with both hands and getting away with it. Many refs seem content to do as little as possible and just let VAR deal with the "important stuff". They're just getting worse.

Jimenez just jumps into him instead of just putting the ball in the net. Classic modern fotballer being a dickhead. Reminds me of the Maddison one on Lascelles when we got trashed at leicester. Just going for the defender and falling over to get a penalty.

Oh well. We tried and could have gotten something with a bit of luck. Nothing to be ashamed of. They could replace their right back to cover our threat with a very good defender once they got the booking on Dalot. We brought on Matt Ritchie in the end. At the end of the day their squad is a lot stronger, and we probably needed the first goal. I'm sure we will be back and will compete in this competition in the future.

Is it a 3game suspension for that?

I thought Leeds have done ok without looking into it too much. I'll quite happily admit that most of my dislike for Marsch probably wouldn't exist if he wasn't American.

Desperately missing Bruno to link everything up.

Really hope its Lascelles. The ref doing everything for southampton though, someone needed to get in his ear.

Can anyone tell me if away goals apply?

Team still is a bit imbalanced. Way too many players whose main strength is off the ball movement. Chances and chances to create have been falling to Willock/Longstaff for weeks now without anything happening. Though i do think Longstaffs ball to Wilson was actually good and Wilson should have been on his toes. I'd swap Willock and Wilson for Isak/Maxi at half time. But i guess we will probably wait a bit.

Can't believe we got that sort of a fee for him. Always tried his hardest, good luck!

33year old Norwegian. Godfather followed Newcastle so when I was a kid I kind of just went with that, also never liked going for the standard "best teams" like most of my friends who follow Manutd/Liverpool. Loved playing them in Football manager from an early age (martins/owen combo was amazing at one time ). Got really into football at the least perfect time. The season Keegan came back and we got relegated under Ashley, been shit since then but I have managed to get to St. James twice. Once in the champo and I saw Ben Arfa score a screamer live against Villa when we went on to sign nobody on deadline day after qualifying for europe if my memory serves.

Thought maxi was terrific in all aspects in his game yesterday. A couple of the balls he played to get us out of defense were great. The one he played to Wilson arguably should have been a goal if Wilson had managed to put in Willock.

I'd definitely take Gnonto like. Keeps running on and off the ball for the entire 90 minutes. Contracted till 2027 though so should cost a fair bit.

Am I the only one raging that we have 2 yellows and Leicester have none?

2nd yellow card of the season for Jamaal. Man of the match.

Was shitting myself in the start, thought we'd be lucky to get anything. Arsenal seem a patient and good side. We still ended up having the best chance. And we look dangerous from set-penises. Important that we help Burn with Saka like we've been doing. Joelinton and Schar our best players for me this half.
