Aye, reckon it’ll be Yedlin—Lejeune—Fede—Dummett—Ritchie

Nay problems with Fede stepping in like, fills Lascelles' boots more than capably - great leadership and organisation skills and a quality defender.

Great prospect for who? I think it's a good tie, the best of this stage.

I hope not. I'm confident Barcelona will beat them like, in both ties. Suarez & Coutinho have that Liverpool/Manchester derby experience and Messi will dismantle that Man U defence. I'll be expecting a Juventus Barcelona final now I think.

Barcelona - Man United is a great prospect. Spurs got City, Ajax got Juve, and Liverpool got Porto.

Their right back Traore is having a nightmare evening like. Now he's getting kicked about by Iwobi

Ben Arfa doing all he can here like. Not getting much help.

Aye, think his final mask outing was his winner against Blackburn in the cup when Ben Arfa scored that ridiculous goal.

Worth a booking these days apparently. Did Jonas used to get booked for his masked exploits?

Rennes hit the post.

The Gotze one properly cracked me up like

Sounds pretentious but I don't care really, Messi does things with a football that are beyond stats (even though his stats are incredible). He's as close as you're going to get to legit art in football. He's the best to ever lace up a pair of boots. So very true.

Yeah. Andre & Bourigeaud are canny players like, but it's Ben Arfa beginning all promising moves for them so far.

Nah just started skinning fuckers for fun though. Seeing more of the ball now.

Hatem

Rennes-Online. Arsenal: Cech, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Maitland-Niles, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Ramsey, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang Rennes: Koubek, da Silva, Mexer, Sarr, Grenier, Niang, Bourigeaud, Bensebaini, Ben Arfa, Andre, Traore 2-1 Arsenal I reckon, Rennes to go through. Ben Arfa from the penalty spot. Howay Les Rouges et Noirs.

Proper looking forward to the Rennes game.

Lucky to watch Ronaldo, but truly blessed to watch Messi

Think he will stay beyond this season, how long nobody can say. But I don't think he'll be backed enough to move us into the top 8 with any regularity, we'll steadily improve though and don't think we'll be fighting relegation having Rafa and this current squad from the beginning of a season. Either way, whilst he's at NUFC I feel proud of supporting the club, he's brought a sense of class and professionalism back after some disgusting appointments we've endured over the last 7-8 years.

Spot on. You forgot to mention he has all the creative talent of a cluster of colour blind hedgehogs...in a bag. But that assist to Rondón was straight out of the National Portrait Gallery. Like something by the Colourblind Hedgehog Workshop of Siena. We’ve got the young Ray Hudson here. Get this man a job.

I'm saying I can't see one outside of some individually brilliant players, the best of which doesn't even belong to them.

Wouldn't hold anything against him. Came in for a small fee, helped us get promoted and now helped us stay in the division by stepping up when we had a 'crisis' in his position. Top professional.

I think probably only Everton fans can say whether Silva should be close to the sack or worth persevering with. From the outside in, however, I can't see a defined footballing philosophy being worked on and showing signs of developing. Whenever I watch them play it just looks like a squad with some talented individuals who occasionally win games for them with individual brilliance. I look at Digne, Richarlison, Gomes and Gueye in particular. First seasons can be tough, and bad runs of form can be excused when supporters can see a style being embedded, but only watching Everton each week would give you that kind of insight which obviously I don't.

Still buzzing over this.

Would love to see that line up. Ta
