    Fair fucks to Howe for transforming Joelinton and Almiron into serviceable top half players.

    (Arsenal's Europa League match against PSV had to be postponed and this midweek was the only place they could put it)

    Arsenal have to play in Europe tomorrow as the group stage of whatever it is they are in needs to be done before the World Cup and there are no other available midweeks.

    Is Prime being shite for anyone else tonight? First half stopped and buffered nearly as much as dodgy streams for me.

    Second half seems to be dropping in quality at the minute. Currently got about two pixels per player.

    Chelsea are still proper rubbish. No idea how they’ve not conceded in the last two games. Staying with 3 atb and not just going to a 4 doesn’t really make much sense.

    Swapped over for the end of the Bournemouth game (my fantasy team needs Solanke goals), and the camera angle is just so bad. Like being in the third row.

    Filthy luck with that deflection but well-deserved lead.

    If we had a proper striker we'd be about 5-0 up.

    He must have lowered his expectations a bit since the summer surely. Is he going to stay unemployed after the summer unless Bayern or equivalent want him?

    Spurs are so hilariously bad and the media’s obsession with pushing them as having a serious plan is so fucking weird. We dominated them for 85 minutes and a large majority of punditry described Arsenals 3-1 win as lucky was bizarre.

    United were very good yesterday. Playing with pace is something we haven't managed for a long time.

    Spurs didn't really have a plan b when Kane and Son were pocketed. Poor from Conte.

    Like West Ham, they have a massive amount of fans in the media, which I suppose is because there are a disproportionate number of east London/Essex cheeky chappies in the press.

    Basically every fan thinks the media hate their own team but love their rivals. The same way that both left and right think the BBC are of the opposite wing.

    The reality, with both Sky and BT is that it’s a load of deeply boring people trying desperately to sit on the fence and not offend anybody, whilst actually managing to offend everyone.

    When I'm bored I sometimes type into Google '*random lower league club* fans forum' and have a browse. Some absolutely wonderful reading to be had. Burton Albion fans apoplectic with fury about JFH keeping his job over the summer (he was eventually sacked in September) was a highlight. We are Burton Albion and we deserve better. Better than solid mid-table League One finishes? No, you don't deserve better than that, sorry.

    United are absolute kryptonite for Spurs and have been for a while [didn't they bunt them heavily even in the darkest of dark Ole days?]. I didn't any of the game yesterday, but if Spurs can't sit deep and punt it over the top for Son then they have no plan against better teams.

    So much dick measuring over size of clubs, attendances etc. It's dark days when the best some Swindon fans have to offer after a home defeat to Northampton, is 'lol Oxford may be a division above and were consistently top half last season while we've had a cancer eat away at us for the last 5 years but their poxy 3 sided stadium only attracts 6k fans'.

    Definite change in set up from Klopp last night again. The full backs have been a lot more reserved and are not bombing on as much. As for Nunez his touch is awful but he works hard and gets in decent positions he's never going to be a Haaland but he should score a decent amount of goals.

    He's looked better in the last two games. Not a world-beater or anything but the improvement is encouraging.

    He's erratic and lacking composure in decision-making just as Mane was. He's also as physically monstrous as Mane was and his xG90 points to a player who is individually responsible for creating the chances he gets. All doubts and fears can be put to bed kids.

    Nothing like Andy Carroll he was a useless lazy lump of shit. Technique wise he is more of a Lukaku I think.

    I like the fact that he can stretch the play but at the same time you can go a bit more direct with him to mix it up. I don’t like his horrendous touch and he definitely seems like a striker that if he has time to think about his finishing he struggles. Small sample but his goals per 90 passes the eye test at the minute the issue for him is the comparisons with Haaland when he clearly isn’t in his league.

    Taking about per 90 stats when he's played barely over 3 games worth of minutes is a bit lol.

    He's your Maguire. Embrace it.

    The xG90 is a bit warped considering he's played a fair few minutes as a sub against TIRED LEGS, but I do think he'll be good. I love watching him, the big idiot. He wouldn't be the first Klopp signing to look like a bit of a turd for the first few months.

    He's regularly popping off volleys and wild efforts from acute angles that indicate his technique is actually elite, it's simply a minor matter of consistency.

    About 10 years ago when I did a lot of football betting I'd regularly read lower league forums to get team news, insights from match goers, etc. It was brilliant - there would always be a thread titled something along the lines of "The EFL/media/referee's agenda against the club"

    I've said it before, but my dad's mate would ask us who the ref was every single game, and regardless of who we said he'd say something along the lines of "FUCK SAKE HE FUCKING HATES THE ALBION". I genuinely don't think Steve Tanner does hate us, mate.
