Good share! Needs more appreciation.

Thought it might be interesting to look at our record under Eddie. Across seasons and years (not many of either obvs!) Best performance is when sliced for 2022 as a calendar year. 36 games 58% win record, and 2.0 points per game (ppg)— good enough for second in eight (of the 31 Prem seasons) and good enough for third on 23 occasions. I think the ‘since January 2022’ gives the fairest picture of his reign to date. Half a dozen games to bed in, one transfer window and since then a 54% win rate and 1.87 ppg over 69 games. This ppg was equalled for last season (and in 2001-02) and has only been bettered by us in one whole season: 1995-96, 2.05ppg.

May be making this up… but didn’t Mark McGhee once do something similar?

Well that is a thing of timeless beauty. Only ever done it on an empty pitch practicing with the young un. Still feels good!

At least we’d have a shout of winning the Europa League. Would seem fitting as a Fairs Cup follow-up and as one of the emerging teams in Europe.

Great experience for the lad last night. Hope he gets a hunger for the big occasion. Can be very motivating and wring that extra ‘stardust’ potential out of him.

Looks gutted. Hope he gains a bit of balance in his thinking today. Disappointing to lose but I thought he/they put together a sound tactical plan to use what we had to best effect. No bad thing to illustrate the need for for a deep squad including another purple or two.

Three MoM performances against three top sides. What a player.

They just sold a really, really promising young striker. Don’t know what else they’ve got tucked away, but Cole Palmer is going to be a world class striker. Would have loved us to sign him. £40m would have probably seems a lot/been too big a stretch FFP wise, but he’d be starting for us now.

Watched the match (on phone in Italy) and just scrolling through to catch up on people’s views on here. I felt really proud of the team; not least given our limited selection choices. ‘Hang your heads in fucking shame’? Fuck me. Have you forgotten that we will lose football matches too? They put in a stellar effort second half, in particular, against a very good side in a loud hostile stadium. We were right in the game throughout. Largely controlled their superior fire power, 54% possession, 10 shots 5 on target. We lost. Deservedly so. But there is no shame in that performance or result. I’d understand (ish…) if you were talking about the mauling of ten man Celtic.

From what I have seen in the past, seems like a lot of Arsenal fans still have a soft spot for Joe.

Just aces it either way. I also liked recent glimpse of Miggy on the left; one low hard cross in particular.

Just seeking my just deserts ?

Great point. Trust builds relationships and gets the best performance out of people. Well done Jamaal and hats off to Eddie and the leadership team.

I did. Couldn’t be happier to see his true levels in a better organised defence. He has been a colossus on an amazing 8 days for us.

There was enough to see at Everton, play not stats, to know he had it all. Feeling incredibly smug at how delighted I was we signed him.

Can I come to your house for diner?

That’s his Ma ?

Fab is big in Italy!

I think he went due to an off field ‘personality’ clash. There was something to do with him not turning up for a game or final training for a game (Fulham away?). Sorry I am stretching, memory wise. But in effect off-field perceived disrespect to Keegan rang the death knell for his time with us.

That Miggy pass to Willock really hasn’t had enough praise. Wonderful vision, perfect execution.

Yet the reserves won ?

? Here comes the bride…? They’ll have lovely kids. Who probably will support Chelsea.
