    if we don't win anything this year. I think I will save myself a lot of time and money in my life. I won't watch everygame and skysports etc will be binned. never fell for all this hype, been lucky all seasons and now everyone found out what to do and once again the pressure is on Arteta can't handle it and reverts back to his old ways.

      I did quite enjoy that season we weren't in Europe, meant I could cancel TNT (or whatever it was called then)

          No wonder you are always so cheerful, Wes

          I will probably end up watching it myself

            And out of both cups. One game a week. Squad of 15. Wonderful. And we actually played football.

            Great days

                I will be happy with just the Mickey Mouse cup at this point - our football is so bad.

                  At least it's only about 3 months until Julian Alvarez joins us, JB

                  I really hope Havertz is back for Sunday. Watching Gyokeres getting completely dominated by the 2 Wolves CBs was not fun.

                    well the set piece thing and solid defending was a novelty for a while. horrible to watch. but when it matters Arteta panics plays too cautiously. makes stupid decisions, bad subs.

                    The Champions league was a good chance last year. way too negative against PSG in the first leg. everytime we've been in the mix with the league, we will not win anything this year, league cup is a toss of the coin.

                    He still has time to fix it but he won't. once you lose the fans that's it.

                      You think the problem last night was Gyokeres not getting the better of their centre halves?

                      Honestly Rich, I'm sure you're a reasonable fellow in person, but you really, really, really don't understand football.

                        I thought Gyok did quite well on the 6 or 7 occasions the ball came to him.

                        We were really good for 15 minutes. Pressing high, winning the ball back, pulling Wolves around.

                        That's a side that wins the league. Unfortunately, we are also the side that sat out the last 70 odd minutes of the game, retreating, giving the ball away and surrendering control to the worst side in the league.

                        That side wins **** all.

                          Yes, his hold up play generally has been much better recently. I think he needs to realise he isn't in Portugal anymore where you get a foul for breathing on someone. He's a bit of a unit, but I wish he used his size and strength more often as in this league he can get away with it.

                          There were also 3 or 4 opportunites where he was perfectly placed for a tap in, sh1t ball in every time. One from Timber particularly irritated me, it was a ball any decent pro should be able to play.

                          Still, it was Gyok's fault

                            I was expecting to see Madueke and Timber hooked at half time. Hard to believe JT played the whole game, he was well off the pace. White and Saka on the right might have regained the momentum after the restart. Kai's return is imperative. Gyok can't be expected to perform with the service he currently gets.

                              Madueke was awful. He even gets basics wrong. He is facing a full back, and there are people making runs inside him to move the full back's cover out of the way and give him a big space to run into behind him.

                              Not only does he ignore that, but he then tries beating his full back when the cover is still there.

                              Brainless. Guy has plenty of talent but has arguably less maturity than Nwaneri.
