    Judging by the usual nonsense predictions, I expect an Eric brace next time out.

    Tomorrow's game between Burnley and Fulham has been postponed.

    Twitter awash with opinions demanding Fulham play, have points deducted and players banned. Glorious.

    So unlike the Burnley crowd to boo and moan. Back in my day, when we had crowds, they’d kick your player up in the air and they’d boo. Their player would fall over with no one near them and they’d boo. Disputed throw? Boo. Goal kick? Oh you know they’re booing.

    If Celtic don't win, that's it. 19 points gap in that case even with the two other games in hand.

    Lethal.

    However we are playing with:

    RB = utility man
    LB = winger
    CB = right back
    CB = centre mid

    Weren't you saying similar things when the Ravens/Steelers game was postponed due to an outbreak in the Ravens camp?

    That red card for Celtic was desperately stupid. Rangers haven't really been in the game so far before then.

    Rangers winning this without having a shot on target is going to be pretty funny.

    Stick a fork in the jock league.

    Who cares what the chalice has in it if it's carved out of the world's biggest diamond?

    Some goal that by Eze.

    I hadn't realised Ryan had been totally frozen out by Potter. What's he been doing? Shagging someone's wife? Slagging off Paul Weller?

    I'm a big backer of Pothead but why tf does he insist on forcing me to watch Dan Burn's overlapping runs and general play in possession? Play White back there and play Groß/Propper/Lallana/Alzate/The Ghost of Bobby Zamora.

    Mainly because it was the complete fault of a Ravens coach that caused the outbreak. Not to mention it's very hard to postpone games in the NFL and still get them played in time for the season to be completed.

    Compare that to the numerous midweek slots where we can play Burnley before the end of May.

    Just the five centre halves starting for Brighton tonight. They’re absolutely dreadful. Hopefully Fulham put them down

    They're just a completely 1-man team reliant on that freak of nature Lamptey to get them up the pitch.

    The Veltman/Burn wingback axis really is a thing of beauty.

    And yet they are still inexplicably shit at set pieces. Should really have kept Duffy so they could stick White in midfield to have 6 centre halves starting.

    Potter's a moron, but this has been apparent from early on. If he gets done over by Scott 'Scotty Parker' Parker then, well, what can you say? I have them as favourites for 19th at the moment.

    Not only has he thrown on some Swiss donkey, he's kept Dan Burn on the pitch. And Burn has proceeded to reward him with a vital goal-saving clearance for Wolves and a hideous first touch to waste a top chance. This is legitimately the worst individual performance you're ever likely to see

    It should be said that Wolves fully deserve to lose this game based on their kit choice alone, so one can only hope that the football gods are sadists, I mean, watching.

    I fancy WBA here. If Saka can't get some open space to run in to, Arsenal can't create.

    Brighton are going to be absolutely fine. Just need someone that can score goals. Either way Tony Bloom has a bigger brain than any of us so commentary is pointless.

    He doesn't actually get to score goals for us though.

    The comeback was a lovely surprise. Taz is right that Lamptey is our best way of going forward with any pace. But being behind showed that when we play with some urgency it's a lot easier to create chances. Hopefully that spurs us on.

    Also Burn was bad but Traore was seriously good, I thought.

    Better than Robertson. The latter is probably the second best in the world

    This is the xG from approximately the same point last season. League ranking on the left, sorted by expected points on the right. Those guys in 17th place who were averaging a point a point per game never really improved did they.

    Smith Rowe has been excellent.

    Arteta needs to ship Nelson and willock out if there’s potential they take a single minute away from martinelli, saka or smith Rowe opportunities.

    Didn't this used to be Key Contributions or some such back in the day? Although I agree that it is a lot more meaningful than being the guy that shinned it to Eze before he went on that run today.
