If Merino is fit.....

I thought that about the second :-) Also saw people trying to blame Raya for it. Ffs....

At this point, I'd say MLS is miles ahead of Calafiori as our left back. Not even close. We now have four great options in the full back...

Quite a few were atrocious last night. I'm really trying to tell myself it is all about form or fitness but Odegaard was dreadful again. His drop...

Well, that has been coming. So many sloppy mistakes tonight. Really annoying.

Lots of errors all round. Minds are elsewhere I suppose

Poor performance so far. Absolute shambles.

Probably the worst decision Levy ever made, and that is up against some serious ****ing competition.

I am very happy with that particular choice. I don't even care that he nicked a few quid. I would have happily kept him on :-)

I always had time for El Tel. Was very happy he wasn't there very long.

Look, I'm not proud of it! And it has never happened to me before. But he seems like a genuine guy who doesn't quite have the thickness of skin you...

I must admit, I actually feel a bit sorry for Ange and part of me quite likes it when they get a good result. :-( I do hope they don't win the...

Fair point :-) forest overspent and broke the rules to just stay up for a couple of years. I don't mind the three going back down but you'd...

Exactly what I was thinking..... :-) I know Ipswich are ****ing ****e but that was an excellent performance before the sending off. After the...

Been a very odd week. VAR working at Real Madrid, refs sending off opponents for kicking Saka....

As far as I'm concerned, Partey is the same player he has been since he first arrived. His only real issue was staying fit. I hope he stays...

That last bit is true. He struggled a bit in the first half of the season but his form over the last few months has been incredible.

Let's just be clear here. Winning the champions league would not simply save our season. It would transform the club and sit alongside our greatest...

And... 5 red cards. Two of which were among the most ridiculous ever brandished, and two more debatable. I'll leave you to work out which sending...

Disappointed, Wes. The French have softened you up. A year ago this argument would have lasted for weeks :-)

Sorry. I watched it again and you're talking nonsense :-) He doesn't even have one arm around him. Mbappe is backing in, has his arm around Rice's...

If I was Arteta, I'd find a way to convince Partey to give us one more year. I'd even give him two if he wanted it. He's huge for us. I want...

I could see one arm around him, but not clutching him. Not sure I saw both arms around him. I am pretty sure that what I saw was what happens at...

So you would have blamed Rice for not fouling someone, and doing what everyone does at a set piece? I'd blame him for standing there doing...

Every player in the box has their arms around an opponent, or a handful of shirt. It is how you defejd and attack a set piece. It is ludicrous to...

When they announced a var check after the corner my first reaction was that we were about to have someone sent off for some nonsense. Didn't even...

I guess they are used to getting things their own way. Shows you how bad the premier league referees have got that we have to go away to real...

Would have taken some balls to watch that decision back and then stand by it. He didn't really have a choice. Ridiculous decision.

Merino in midfield and trossard up front is the most likely solution. Unless jorginho is fit. The other options are a bit too funky for such a...

The language is troubling. They tend to interpet 'clear and obvious' as factual. So if there is any contact at all, they wont overturn. Everyone...
