Well, not really

If we flung ourselves fully into the dark arts we would be chasing 4th

Not looking at it any other way.

Hey we're tenth equal with Arsenal!!

No, we're crap

That's the reason why we're not chasing 4th

Has f all to do with diving or not. Yeh, Walcott should've gone down. But our squad is deeply average and chronically unbalanced.

 

[Rook]

who picked delph for MOM?

Get some players on the same wavelength as Bernard in midfield and we'll be on to something.

Watching Bernard since Ancelotti's arrival is a bit like imagining Pienaar if instead of having Baines, Arteta, Osman, Cahill types round him he only had Heitinga and Neville to work with.

Confused by Bernard getting twice as many MOTM votes as Richarlison. Bernie was great today, but we don’t win without someone scoring a goal. You guys like goals, right?

Can you put a word in for me please Steve.

I’m a bit younger than her but I’ll be a gentleman.

Bernard magnificent.
DCL Honking in the box. Two absolute sitters.

He scored one.....var v us again

Tbf, I don't think that was on Delph.

We seemed okay (albeit for about 4 minutes) in a 4-3-3 shape.

Then Sidibe was shifted up further to accommodate Coleman (who did well when he came on) and he was utterly clueless.

not sure I've seen a poorer full-back defensively.

It was a clear handball

Shoulder he was locked in the back of the head too....

...substitutions meant we went from looking for 2-0 to hanging on to 1-0. We won, that’s the important thing.
