For a while there, I was the fat kid :-)

Well, it is in their hands..... :-)

I didn't say he was the problem. Just that I think Arteta prefers Havertz. And so do I.

Admirable research! So, in the last ten years, the rule seems to be that the only way to beat City to the title is to start fast, get ahead, and...

I think we signed a striker to shut people up. I honestly don't think that Arteta is a big fan of the out and out centre forward. The plan was to...

I never buy into all this 'so and so won't pass to so and so'. It may have been true at school where you don't pass to the fat kid but I don't...

So he stands there and attracts defenders? 60 million is an awful lot of money to pay for a scarecrow. I think we will see a change now the...

Correction. We've got to win the last game. That guarantees us top two. P.S. I didn't know that :-)

I think that is the key point. Rich above says he feared that he wouldn't be a good fit for us. And he isnt. But we all assumed that was...

I suspect you are right. But as someone who didn't want him in the first place I am going to give him longer to prove me wrong.

I think we need to give Gyokeres time to settle in and get fully fit. Then we will have a fair assessment of just how **** he is :-( Jesus looked...

I think it is more that that is what City do. Liverpool's two title wins involved fast starts. Outside of City there are few other examples in the...

I haven't checked the fixtures but wouldn't be surprised if some of those teams are playing each other. And the goal difference thing is just...

There isnt any advantage to being seeded higher. You are still drawn against two teams from each pot.

Hoping he doesn't get smoked....

So bring him on in the 93rd minute.... In goal.

It was Ben White

We really, really don't. This lot are utter ****.

Yes, he can. But he isnt as comfortable. This lot are abysmal defensively.

Kick each other and get ill.

You can shoot from there if you are Bobby Charlton. Or Madueke, it seems :-)

But hardly anyone can do that.

Kind of scuffed shot, turned towards goal in the box.

Lovely. No Rice, Calafiori or Timber. Saka on the bench. Very nice. Well done, Mikel :-) I will defend him on this, even if we lose.

And perhaps listening to a Whitesnake compilation album. You can't argue with a bit of Coverdale :-)
