Several issues with the UI which is frankly horrendous but biggest pet peeve is the focus on the lightning bolt. Know the Gatehouse and shirt history etc but it just feels a really odd graphic design choice. Why lead with a more niche symbol.

Timeless post.

Haaaaate it. Awful

There’s leagues where you’d suggest that was match fixing it’s that bad.

Oh but but but he won the ball. Nonsense

116 charges then eh?

I'd like to see Merino in the Eze role and put him out wide instead of Leo. Feels like a win the midfield battle game

Have they, or have they simply changed it to be more palatable to prospective Reform voters?!

We repeatedly fail to put the foot on the neck of teams when we should be looking to finish them. Passive 3 nil football at 1-0 cost us again today.

Just let Sanderson finish it like he does everything else!

Just can’t give them short fields today and we have this.

That looks like a Quantum Leap promo

No. They fucking hate us. Nothing good for them, ever.

Fear

100% every time. Only cup that could ever change that for me would be big ears.

I get what you’re driving at but feel it’s an easy choice as we win league in both. Maybe more a) guarantee 93 points with no finals or b) 84 points and two finals. Something more of rotation is jeopardy but the potential rewards are clear. That’s harder to say for me.

Especially when he’d made the right first run and not received it. To go again is what we’re after.

All three will play. Let’s not kid ourselves

No objections to that. Complete agreement. Adrian Clarke’s latest breakdown a good watch though if you haven’t seen it. Perhaps we’re starting to see the runs- we need to be better at feeding them. When he starts missing chances he should take we should be really worried- not just a little like now!

Appreciate that, should have better accepted the point that this is “service”. You’re not wrong. But I do find comparisons to him to be unhelpful. Can we say the service Gyok needs might be different to Haaland bc he’s not as able to turn a Haaland half chance into a goal? Is it a narrower data set?

That might be true. But it’s hardly a fair comparison. I’m no Gyok apologist but one of these players is a unicorn who is trending to be top 3 of all time. The other was prob bought as a back up. Do unfair comparisons help the narrative? How does he compare to others in his price range or skill set?

It’s a move that would be considered strong CF play by Kane or Haaland. This having to earn a free kick when you’re new to the league stuff is bollocks.

That’s not enough for second yellow in my view. We’d be raging if Rice got sent off for doing the same.

Arsenal deliver statement win and bury the Emery bogey | John Brewin The fluent football of autumn returned against an Aston Villa team who have often caused Arteta’s side problems

Contrast with John Brewin’s in the same paper is stark. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Yet they arguably had the better chances and looked more threatening throughout. Hate the tactic and the manager but it’s effective. I wouldn’t care if we shithoused another 19 wins.

Def wasn’t yards. Very tight call.

Looks for the foul too much. It’s a bad trait that Big Gabi also has. Just win it or clear it.

I want him to be stronger on the ball, bully defenders. Fight to hold it up. It bounces off him too much. We need to feed him but we also need to be able to play up to him and off him and we can’t. And that’s on him. And if he could gamble on a run sometimes that would be nice. Go find a 1/2 chance

By saying we started the day top, we’re still top and we’ll end the day top. And other than City the challenges we now face are all at the carpet.

Sore but don’t let northwest media mafia shape our narrative. Believe Elliot.

So fight back!!!!
