Hopefully Saturday! Can’t be far away judging from what Eddie’s said.

He scored 4 in the first half against the worst team we’ve played this season…

Nice to see a new variant of pen too. First time he’s gone straight down the middle. Bit close to the keeper’s feet, so could do with lifting it if he goes that route again, but really good that he’s mixing it up, making it more difficult to predict where he’s going.

Palace goal in the first 10 mins would be absolute cinema. *especially if it was Brennan Johnson

Only took 7 month but seems he can make saves. Best game for us by an absolute mile.

Get this cunt as many OnlyFans birds as he wants man. Absolutely magnificent. *but also please be back on Saturday Tino or we’ll end up running him into an early grave.

25 point deduction for the first team and automatic forfeit of their next game iyam.

Six match ban seems fairly light tbh. If someone was to be sent off for using a racial slur as egregious as that, I reckon they’d be getting longer than that.

Currently. But it shouldn’t take too much to make them competent again. Prior to last season they’d finished lower than 7th once in the last 15 years (and that was 8th).

I think the some prior generations, particularly the 90’s, is looked on far too fondly. Underneath the very top level, there was bundles of absolute dross. I know we all make references to Arsenal being ‘like watching Wimbledon in the 90’s’, but if you ever actually watched Wimbledon in the 90’s, you’ll know it’s still light years away from that.

Yes, and we’re at home in the first leg, and they’re away. So it’s all pretty much evened out.

The FA Cup games were picked before the CL dates were known. And in fairness, before the second leg they play 4:30 Sunday, whereas we play on the Saturday.

All of those teams, even Villa, were starting from a massively superior starting point though. So outspending them, in whatever metric you want to use, isn’t really making us ‘better’ than them, it’s just getting slightly closer.

Fletch’s patter about Joe Gomez scoring is absolutely lifting.

No. Seat selection opens 2pm tomorrow, so we’ll know then. Assuming Barca have sorted out how many tickets they’re giving us….

Obviously nothing is simplistic, but who should we definitely be finishing above every season out the ‘big’ 6 and Villa?

8th

Conversely you can see why he was so keen on Elanga. Personality and professionalism wise, he’s perfect. Unfortunately, despite (presumably) doing all the right things and putting the effort in, his output remains largely shite. But I do hold out hope that with increased training time next season things will improve. Agree with the opinion that Hayden seems a nailed on pundit of some description going forward.

As long as you’re winning the vast majority of the time (which you’d expect they would be tbf). Have too many Scunthorpe’s though and I imagine the appeal diminishes quite rapidly.

Maybe he wasn’t that bad after all…

We just remember those ones more. And forget about the vast majority that come back in the timeframe initially expected.

De Jong was very good in September like. Not quite as good as Pedri, who was outstanding, but it’s still a bonus for us.

They’ve put members up by £4 for this as well. Just seems a very petty amount. Like they’re almost testing what they can get up to before it has an adverse effect.
