"as any arsenal fan i don't think we played that badly yesterday.... i was more encouraged than discouraged when we get the full backs available... i think we are going to be not in a bad position.... and i think we all realised that david luiz was going to have those moments, so it was the devil you know.... as long as we beat the spuds next weekend.... 9 out of 12 going into thew international break is a good start!" I was surprised that Arsenal played that formation as Liverpools full backs were able to take advantage of so much free space and really made the Gunners pay for it... I liked the look of Pepe and think he will be a great signing.... | |||

"Tottenham win and continue the trend next weekend
What do you think the result will be today?.....
No one predicted that Palace would win at Man Utd yesterday.... "I’m going for 3-0 but they could sneak a goal. Son will be back on a sunny smiling day, so fitting he starts his tally this game
Though yes especially my CP mates but hey that’s the joy of the PL you never know and VAR will decide a lot this season | |||

"So who do you reckon is going to finish highest outside of the traditional big 6? Toss up for me between Leicester & Wolves, wouldn't be surprised at all if one or even both took a top 6 spot, and a top 4 is not out of the question." Yep I’ll roll with that .

They have a stable defence. They already have Barnes on fire. If they can get on without injuries, they could do well. | |||

"One of the reasons I don't care too much if Cardiff go up or down is 'I'm just grateful we are still going'. I find it disgusting that some clubs and their players are minted beyond imagination. Look at Bury and Bolton, rivals, a hotbed of football in that part of the world and yet by the looks allowed to vanish. Surely it wouldn't take much to rescue both these teams? Football, you need to sort your shirt out and save these two teams. It goes far further than the sport itself. Our clubs are part of our communities. Fathers, fathers used to take their kids and that gets passed down the line. I wish I knew the answer but I pray that BOTH these clubs are saved." Well said | |||

Couldn’t agree more - so upsetting for the fans that have supported these teams over the years and who may have invested hard earned cash on season tickets this year. Then there are the people who have been loyal employees of the clubs who may not have been paid for a while. Then there are the communities and family ties, the supporting businesses in the area and so on. I have no links to either Bolton or Bury but real heartfelt sadness from genuine supporters of many clubs. | |||

It's not all about the £5k a week that I imagine Bolton players are on. That's a huge amount to us lot in here but loose change to the Championship and then Premier league players. 1% of their wages could save both these clubs but you can't make a precedent. I've seen fans buy the club and I think Newport is an example of this, took a while but they are doing okay now. | |||

Salah is a stat padder."Mane joint top scorer last year, with penalties, and continuing on this year. That said its the sum of the parts, no one player....robertson's tackle in the 20minute changed the atmosphere, goals being conceded without Allison, frimhno assist with 2nd touch within 4 minutes of coming on. | |||

I'd say they have the best potential in young players since United's Beckham, Scholes, Giggs etc era. I have high hopes..... | |||

Are you disappointed it only finished 4-0 today?!"Not at all - while it would have been nice to have got a hatful it's often the case in football that when a team goes 3 or 4 up before half time that they take their foot off the pedal in the second half unless the other team start to make a comeback. Think it's a combination of the break taking away the momentum, the natural instinct of job done and conserving energy for the next game. | |||

I fancy Everton and Arsenal wins although after the international break things don’t always go to plan for a team that was on a roll before the break as Man City found out yesterday.To be fair to Watford they have had this hire and fire policy for a few years now and in terms of keeping them in the premiership it has worked for them. | |||

True the policy may back fire but this is their 5th season in the premiership and as far as I am aware they have never really been in the relegation dogfight.Ozil missing may not be that big a deal as to me it still seems the manager doesn’t trust him to perform on a regular basis | |||

"Arsenal blew a 2-0 lead at Vicarage Road on Sunday... The Gunners looked well in control at half time but Watford looked like a different side in the 2nd half and launched a sterling comeback to earn a deserved draw... Can the Arsenal forget about a top 4 finish if they keep dropping points like this?" Hopefully yes. Chelsea will be happy to take their place. | |||

Would get rid of var and sky money in a second as I think it can only be the start of more technology ruining the "beautiful game" that is a huge part of my life.
I can see it leading to more of a NFL type game with quarters and breaks(so adverts can be shown to feed the cash cow more) specialist players being brought on for penalties, free kicks etc
Ffs it's a ball filled with air, a pitch, goals and 22 players that has done alright without massive technological changes for century's (I'm pretty sure early cavemen kicked something around)
Oops sorry I digressed, anything other than 3 points today will be a huge diss appointment but it won't be easy to break down a side that will come to us organised, tough and will have a plan to park the bus and hit us on the break.
I've got my pre home match ritual plan in place and can already taste my pie and first of several pints and can smell the burger and onions vans surrounding the ground.
Taking a single mums child to the game today to give her a break and she can't afford tickets and I hope he'll remember it for the rest of his life and that it sparks a lifetime of passion for the game (fingers crossed that he's not priced out of going to live games himself when he grows up and that he doesn't become a corporate sky couch supporter)
Sorry to the op as it's not the comment he probably wanted

I don’t believe he is under any more pressure than most of the managers in the Premier League right now.Our next 3 Premier Leauge games home to Arsenal away to Newcastle home to Liverpool lose all 3 and Ed Woodward will probably fire him.My personal thoughts are wait until the end of the season if he delivers Champions League football give him another season if he doesn’t then see if we can get Poch or Allergri. | |||

"Leicester certainly should get all 3 against Newcastle on paper, but it's really wet and windy here, which could be a leveller. Madison out too, which is a bit of a blow. Still think we'll have enough to win, but it won't be pretty." Shocking tackle there. Deserved red and wrapped up the points for Leicester. Not looking forward to them coming to Anfield next week. Look good. | |||
