Arsenal.....the surprise package. Don't really know what to expect though. Lots of attacking midfielders but do they really have a tough enough midfield. But then Barca show that a skilful midfield can do it, you don't necessarily need a Vierra. Have times changed.

Not that he is in the same league as Viera, they've got Flamini to do the dirty work. Reminds me of Peter Storey. A right dirty bastard. Pains me to say it but they were superb on Saturday and the first goal was sublime. They are certainly the form team at the moment but it's a long season and we're still only eight games in.

as Jah says, long season ahead but very happy so far. I was so hacked off at the Arsenal boo boys, especially after that Villa game at start of season. Of course Ozil has helped massively but we are seeing quality in players that were dismissed by some fans mere months ago


Anyway - massive game tonight but the real test will be when we hit a bad run, how will the team (of largely trophyless players) respond

And Aaron Ramsey's been your best player. If anyone has stepped up to the plate he has and good luck to the boy after that bloody awful Shawcross challenge on him that broke his leg many Arsenal fans wrote him off. Useless was the word bandied about.

Spurs, Liverpool, Man Utd and City are all very much a work in progress. I think it is going to be one of the most interesting seasons we've seen in a very long time. Sadly though, for a "local" club. Crystal Palace already looked doomed.

Maybe the other players have upped their game because of Ozil.

When Cantona arrived at Utd, players like Giggs said he had an effect on the training ground as well as on the pitch...

It was a poor match considering the quality on the pitch, maybe they just cancelled each other out.

At least Wenger was forthright and honest in his appraisal. Arsenal did show naivety and immaturity. In the context of the group, a 1-1 draw would've been a very good result for them, there was no need to chase a winner liked they did...

As no one else really cares, I need to bring you back down to earth Michael.

You beat a very average Ajax team at home and, if you saw the game, would agree you were lucky. They hit the post at 0-0, you get a soft(ish) penalty and a hugely deflected goal then they missed a few chances that should have been put away.

They had nearly 70% posession - are you really happy with that at home?

And you say a win with 10 men, pfft, he got sent off in the 88th minute - it's not as if you had to play with ten men for half the game??!!


Anyhoo, I still predict you'll finish bottom of the group unless you get a result in Amsterdam.


And yes, before you say it, I am enjoying life in Division one.

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
