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.

    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
