Mainoo subbed off for McTominay, who is fcuking shite. Marks himself when we have the ball in our half

When they have it he marks space and just lets their runner into the box to score

I’d genuinely stick him up top at this point as he seems to have more of a goalscoring instinct that anyone else in your squad whilst simultaneously being very limited at what he’s supposed to be doing

I guess he scored but Rashford was so poor up top. Ambles around the pitch, barely tries to compete. Waste of time as the ST - should have stuck with Rashford out left and Garnacho out right

Arbroath, with only 4 players on the bench, bring on their sub keeper up front. He does this:

LUX really hope not.

When is Ivan Toney due back?

Furthermore, although the bottom three have had some near misses recently, they remain the firm favourites to go down (also a shame as they are the three promoted sides)


16th Jan he can play.

They won't sell him if the slide continues though.
Have to say Arsenal need to sign him if they have desires on the title. But what would the cost be?.

Toothless, clueless Wengerball from arsenal again. Congrats to Man City on the title.
All the other also rans aren't even close to Citeh. They had their chance when City had injuries and a bad run and blew it.

If Arsenal are title challengers, so are Spurs

So that's neither then.

It's between City and Liverpool. City will just do City things and Liverpool have a knack of not losing when they're playing shit.

Love an Arsenal meltdown.

Watch out for Villa. If they can go out and get a few decent players in to boost their depth they will be right up there.

Ended up watching part of the Leeds game today and I can't remember a side I have seen as poor as Birmingham, they made us look good last year. Trying to play out of the back and giving it away well inside their own final third most of the time, Leeds will be disappointed they didn't end up with 7.

I hate Leeds and I want Huddersfield to go down, but I also wouldn't mind both QPR and Birmingham dropping. Both been run nearly as poorly as what we have for longer spells of time and yet they always seem to just avoid the drop (like us for 3/4 years) so I'd like to see them go down this time for that reason.

Man City don't play anyone in the current top 8 until March and they are not losing anyone to Afcon or the Asian Cup

What is your issue with anything that I've said? You think Jota's behaviour is acceptable? That is standard Liverpool. Didn't know you were a closet Liverpool supporter.

Liverpool have certainly had the rub of the green with respect to refereeing decisions since the Spurs farce. Klopp, of course won’t acknowledge any decisions that go in his favour

Him, Arteta and Pep are all dislikeable, won’t happen but I’d like to see Villa and Emery to win it, nice to see a manager conduct themselves with class and dignity
