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

If we could keep everyone fit, we'd be sorted. Imagine having Willy and Gabby together at the back. Triphop and Hinchappy both look very good, but...

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

It's a new thing this year that you get all your 2nd leg ties at home if you come in the top 2. That's what we want.

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

For God's sake, it's only December. We didn't have Kai to allow a gradual introduction, he's been playing with different players every week with our...

Exactly. Forwards sometimes get selfish and take a shot when there was a pass for tap in, but it's never they won't pass to a specific player. ...

Not if the scarecrow has 2 defenders on him and he knows how to drag them out of the way so that B, Noni, Leo, Gabby, Odin and Easy can keep banging...

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...

That's just not true. In those games before the injury when he was playing well, Vik dropped deep into the right channel and played some lovely 1-2s...

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...

But many people have said that one problem last season was Kai going to the right and cramping the space for B. And others, like Shearer who knows...

Maybe start complaining when we haven't just won our 6th game on the trot in the CL, toping the table with just one world class goal conceded. ...

Agreed. I remember a Gooner cover with a cartoon of Titi saying "Why does ze manager keep talking about banjos and the arse of a cow?" Just...

It was his first start coming back from injury. The 2-3 games before he got injured, he was looking exactly what we needed. He was making space for...

That makes sense. We're on 18 pts, so one win makes us 21. 3rd place is 13 pts, so 2 wins is 19. That's good to know, but would still like a 100%...

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...

But I want us to win in the San Siro again. We used to spend a lot of time in St Martin in the French West Indies. One of our French mates - Alban,...

I get that. I was thinking about the teams drawn against us. Or Sperz and NUFC.

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...

Yeah, that would be a bit of a bugger if he could an ursine munching. As P says, let's hope he's smoking. We need to sign a CH called Tartar,...

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