      No worries. Everyone else is under the same pressure, arguably even greater pressure, to beat us.

        I hate that lot. Hope we stuff them home and away.
        Two things spring to mind. One is injuries, the other is that ****ing irritating noise when they score at Stamford Bridge, like someone is bashing shopping trolleys together.

        We'll lose to them.

          And now he's the hero! That's football.

          He hasn't played in ages, fairplay to him.

            Watching the replay, he did guess that time, P.

            He got one in eight right. Maybe he should just toss a coin before each kick - heads-left, tails-right.

              I'd stand up for the second kick. Put a doubt in their heads so they cant roll it down the middle.

              If you guess every single time you are giving them an easy out.

                I do like that idea.

                I also like the idea of tossing a coin by the goalpost before each kick. Put doubt in their minds that the coin knows so maybe they should go the other way.

                  I would just watch the ball. Very few takers can properly disguise which way they're going to go.

                    Bear in mind, standing up is also a guess. A legitimate one.

                    Apparently, Saka didn't take the penalty against Everton because he has spent far too long practicing penalties with Pickford for England.

                    Interesting....

                      Absolutely, like Neuer and Ozil. They think of everything nowadays

                        That makes sense.

                        And Vik's pelanty record seems to be Matty Le T-esque.

                          Just goes to show. Dive the right way you might save won.

                          That match should have been out of sight after 30 minutes.

                          Our inability to score goals, whilst top of the league, is ****ing incredible.
                          Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.

                            Our ability to rarely look like losing whilst struggling to score goals is admirable.

                              Villa was the last time an Arsenal player scored from open play.....
