:lol: City will just chuck lawyers at the PL to tie them up in court for years to come, when you have a bottomless pit of money at your disposal the law is your friend.

I fancy Spurs to finish above the Arsenal this season ;-)

Can't see him setting the world on fire, but should be good for 15-20 goals a season. We got rid of Royal is the best transfer. :lol:

Archie Gray is a fantastic signing for you guys too. Huge potential, would be a good signing for any team.

How good is Eze? Hard to believe that teams weren't knocking down Palace's door to pay his £60m release clause. :eek:

Or that the moronic Southgate didn't play him for England. :crazy:

But his release clause had a time expiration and that has now run out. I suppose it's possible that Palace would let him go for less, but seriously doubt it.

I can't believe Chelsea only have a 45 man squad, surely still time to buy another 10 then they can field three teams plus a 7 on the bench on the same day.

Ollie Watkins displaying why he is not Harry Kane's replacement. :lol: How the fuck did the Goons get away with that one? :eek:

I wonder if Haaland can apply for British citizenship, everyone else seems able to. :lol:

Yes he missed a sitter 1st half but great save by Raya on his 2 chance. Shows what quality keepers can do.. bar those chances we were by far the better side!

on replacements, England need to find a new keeper, Pickford is poo!!

You had one chance in the first 70 minutes and were nowhere near the better team until you scored (somewhat fortuitously I might say), should have been at least one or two down by then. Good save yes, but Watkins headed it more or less straight at Raya. That Lucky Arsenal tag still suits. ;-)


Pickford was embarassingly slow, but couldn't be blamed for the others :lol:

Utd sell McTominay and keep Casemiro... for all their failed ins, some of the "who we keep vs who we sell" choices are what us really costing them.
For those saying "but McTominay isn't a 6..." sure, but he can run, and he can pass, so instantly he is an upgrade in Casemiro. Plus, Liverpool played with Gravenberch and Mac Allister as 2 pivots, neither considered a traditional 6.

It was soft and also inconsistent, which does annoy me, but I have to ask whether Rice has more than two brain cells. Once you're on a yellow, why would you give the ref any opportunity to send you off? I can't imagine Arteta being too pleased.

Haaland, the Viking beast with another hat-trick.

Going to be hard to stop. He skittles centre-backs as if they’re bowling pins and doesn’t even foul them.

Great win by the Arsenal over that f*****g Australian bum named Ange and his Totteringham.

Arsenal now second on 10 points, with what’s-their-name stuck at 13th on 4 points.

Morning arsehole :lol: Yeah, I like the intent of Ange's team, but we're simply too easy to score against. Could have been give as a foul, but would have been soft, if you turn your back on the player you're marking, expect him to take advantage. Frankly, unless Vicario gets stronger, it's going to keep happening, it was four yards out.

Good to see Gillett giving out cards like confetti, maybe could have given a red to Timber, there was no need for his foot to be over the ball, but that would have been soft as well.

3 clean sheets in 4 games shows are defence is solid again! Allowed you to have the ball with limited chances created. Anges team had no plan B mate..

3 points, clean sheet, away from home @ a top 8 side is a good day out :grin:
