Hmm. Not sure I agree given that Calafiori has been arguably our best player this season and that MLS has fewer than 90 minutes of football in the PL...

I read that he picked up a small groin issue against Sunderland but Italy still wanted to take a look at him. And now they have decided that he's not...

Good start, eh? Never mind. Calafiori injured too.

Surely they will be facing a hefty points deduction this season anyway?

A draw against Spurs and defeat against Chelsea only leaves us 1 point behind City and level on points with Chelsea so it's not all bad. Sure we...

Winning the league is a little vulgar anyway, don't you think?

I listen to the Tailenders podcast feat. Sir James Anderson. Now I don't know if he has any inside info but he is going with a bowling attack in...

I can't think we'd stick Havertz back in the squad now given how long he's been out for. Better to wait until Spurs... maybe if we have a behind...

Welcome back. Will be Asheswimb soon enough anyway so we can forget about all the football stuff.

Not me.... but as he matures and becomes the leader of this side; perhaps he is taking responsibility & feels he is the man to finish when he does...

He didn't have a lot to do but what he did he did well. Nice for him to get some minutes. I have a sense of foreboding ahead of the Sunderland...

Gyokeres will be back for Spurs apparently. Good that he'll stay with the club rather than going off to Sweden. Havertz may well be back for that...

Arteta being a notable exception, of course. Though it was clear he was onto something? he instilled a band of brothers / us agaisnt the world...

We have Harriman Annous anyway.

Eze up front (Nwaneri as a 10) or Merino just comes in for Gyokeres. Easy.

Must you moan? We're going to be 8 points clear at the top by the end of next weekend, Sir C.

We want Gyokeres to be Haaland but he isn't even a tenth of the goalscorer that Haaland is.

He needs to earn his minutes on the training ground / in games like Wednesday night against Brighton. It's not a charity - we're here to win...

Hmmm. Well he is a poor header of the ball so you can't put ariel crosses in for him. And when they pull balls across the box for him his balance...

Yes I think so too. And I also think Gyokeres probably does occupy defenders a bit. Not exactly what you want from your striker but it's something I...

We will face low blocks in at least 30 of our 38 PL games this season. Just like we have done in each of the last few seasons. Fortuantely Havertz...

Saka is really developing, isn?t he? Seems to be our leader now. So good even with three on him. So strong. Lovely to see him thriving.
