Armchair Pundit

Liverpool have already been chosen by the FA and media, they always get away with everything, must be the 'luckiest' dirty team going.

Yup, I think we're going to need to be at our very best to beat Liverpool, plus I get the feeling they're more of a darling to the FA and officials than us. On the upside at least, if they win the league as well, the UEFA Conference coming our way by default wouldn't be so bad... unless we miraculously manage a Champions League spot. The other thing is that I think I'd feel less aggrieved at losing to the current Liverpool team in the final, than a slip up against Spurs, so all in all, if we look at it negatively and assume we'll lose, there's at least 'some' silver linings there. ... that said, I'd much rather we gubbed the bin dipping, thieving gypo bastards though

Just so fed up to the back teeth of the total disrespect and attempted engineering from some quarters around the insistence that Isak should be or will be going to Arsenal.

DHGate used to be an option for iron on badges, not sure if they still are, in fact, I'm not even sure who's good for unofficial replica shirts these days, it's been that long since buying one.

We're all about needing to 'stay humble' and take one game at time, good old Gordon

Smashed em! Fucking belter! Classless from Arteta, not even looking at Eddie as they shook hands after the match, typical though, always a sore loser. Let's hope we can play as well in the final!

Hope we reel out some more shithousery in the second half, love to see it against a team that is renowned for diving, like karma

I heard the commentators dropping in the obligatory "Isak is exactly what Arsenal are missing" bollocks, the media really are pushing for us to sell to the London wanks aren't they!

Think I will be until the ref blows for full time, if we keep the lead

With all the fantastic, futuristic looking building projects that have sprung up in Saudi over the past few years, I'm hoping we'd go for something a little bit different, maybe with lots of mirrors or such. Then again, with the weather in the UK as unpredictable as it is in the winter months, it'd need to have a nice, flowing, aero-dynamic take, otherwise it'd get battered during storms.

Kind of leaves us a bit light on depth though with these two going doesn't it? Or are we going to rely on youth players if the need comes? I mean, I know neither have had much game time recently, but it doesn't leave many options if we get any injuries for the second half of the season, especially with supposedly pushing for Europe and cup finals. Mind you, not like the first team have shown much in the last couple of games...

The Premier League have already decided this year's winner from their 'special' group of clients

The Saudi league is a wanky retirement league, they know that and it'll never change, no matter what they do.

So, Al Nassr are forking out £71m for Duran from Villa? Al Nassr, that's owned by PIF? Why are they handing money to Villa, possibly our main rivals currently in terms of level? I don't get it.

You're not Keir Starmer's dad by any chance are you?

Whatever happened to the lauded potential of that young lad of ours, Garang Kuol? Seems he's had loans at a couple of clubs but has come to nothing, I seem to remember him being described as an exciting young talent - I mean, I'm guessing something must have gone wrong for him, wonder if it was his attitude or something.

Eddie and Mad Dog need to jump on our lot at half time, stick a rocket up their collective chuffs!

I'd give young Miley a run-out I think

Shit, I must be getting dementia, I honestly have no recollection of that match - that's worrying

I hope we keep hold of Isak in the summer and Sunderland get promoted, would love to see him play against them

What's this on? Which channel? Is it a usual commentary team?

I've got the match on BBC radio, better with Ando

Well, no, it'd be getting dicked 4-1 by Bournemouth that did it...

Sounds like we might be, our fragile confidence was shattered after a tiring, closely bunched clutch of games by the look of it...
