Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult

Was it you that recently said that Saka is being quite selfish? I've noticed it a few times in recent games. His genuine x factor has always been...

It's the injury thing. Get through that and if we have no injuries on intl duty and our players slated to come back for the NLD do, then we suddenly...

Well, Bayern are up next :-)

You only lose the dressing room when you're losing games.

They don't need to like it.

Right. Bring on the young striker, protect Merino. And get Trossard and Saka off as well.

David Raya is statistically the worst keeper in England. Hasn't made a single save in a month :-)

And we seldom get its best.

Penalty looked a bit harsh. We'd never be given that in England.

I'd rather the wheels came off here than at Sunderland.

A few changes. Not too fussed about this one. Think we have a bit of margin for error in the champions league

You mean we took a realistic assessment of where we were as a club and accepted it was a big rebuild? That is patience. And it is beyond clubs...

That's the whole point. If you are going to take a long term approach you have to have a coach who is good with that and you have to be patient. ...

And then the pre-supper dip will score a hat-trick. Would like to see Triphop and Hinchappy score soon, too. Let's go for the record of the most...

Didn't Dick fail to win the league with PSG? I reckon my beloved would have done.

Very much so. On the rare occasions they actually appointed the right bloke you could always rely on Levy pushing the button at the first whiff of a...

I suspect he will make the bench and then come on when we are 4-0 up :-)

To be fair, it isn't so much the sacking of manager that is the problem. It is appointing the wrong ones. Or rather, ones that dont fit their...

The latter. It may be easy, but it isn't good. But hopefully, it isn't for long. Just need to limp (literally) through this week and then hopefully...

Only having seen the very tail end of Boycott's career, Cook's by far the best English opener of my lifetime. And Buttler's the best white ball...

That's pathetic. I knew it was riling them, but didn't realise it was to that level. I pray to Ganpati we keep doing it. I love the fact that...

Even better is a 1-0 down, 2-1 up from set pieces, one after 80-odd mins, the winner in the final minute of injury time. I love the sexy flair of...

I once got laughed out of the pub by claiming that you could never understand Dennis Bergkamp by reading his numbers, and compared it to giving a...

I can't remember ever being as angry as when we chucked (with the considerable help of Phil ****ing Dowd) that 4-0 lead at Newcastle. I'd take...

Arteta's responses are a bit worrying. Doesn't sound good. Zubimendi is fit. That is a big plus :-)

There is so much space there. Would be lovely if Martinelli was fit.....

Best stat of the lot. We are bottom of the league for percentage of expected goals that comes from open play. Of course, they don't tell you that...
