Match Thread Arsenal 0-0 Everton, Sat 14th December, 3pm

A draw is always preferable. But we need to effectively match Leicester and Ipswich over 23 games to their 22. And it's a nice cushion now to wolves of 6 points, goal difference and a game.

Long way to go but we're in a better position than 10 days ago.

Yea fair, but I just think Wolves will probably outscore Ipswich, who like Luton will probably fade away. I didn't want a Wolves win.

Happy with a point away from home but sad that we are reduced to playing defence against attack (again).

 

[Cameron Manning]

Was it Stuart Storer from Birmingham
Some fiddle went on with the fee I seem to remember

Yes the transfer fees for both players were open to question, thanks for the answer Richard.

Yes, my gut feeling is Wolves will probably eek out more points than Ipswich, who I imagine run out of steam.

Wolves run they are going into looks woeful. They could be buried by March. After next week, there doesn't look a game you fancy them to win.

Agreed. It’s Wolves and Southampton for me and the third to come from Ipswich, Leicester and ourselves. A couple of new players in January should make all the difference.

We've been conditioned to celebrate draws like they're wins.

Remind me, how many years did Moyes not win away in London whilst we were regularly finishing in the top 6-7?

I don't put us in that mix.

For me we are one of 4 or 5 just above those teams who should be cautious, but ultimately reasonable calm.

I think it's 4 clean sheets in 6 with Brainthwaite back. They're what keep you up.

If it wasn't likely all the rest of us would go out of business due to the big money involved, the super league would be a great idea. The Premier League has such a gulf that it honestly shouldn't be one league anymore.

Young did well, but thought Myko struggled. He tried, but he struggled.

Didn't see the match. Was he up against Saka? Pretty much everyone suffers against him.

 

[Groucho]

Not pretty, but a draw away v Arsenal is a cracking result. Pickford MoM by a mile.

Arsenal are still whingers, it's like Arsene was still there . And why does Jesus have that permanently aggrieved look on his face?

They’ll crucify him for that mate

@Kurt. I’d like credit here please

Beautiful.

 

[blueconverse]

Horrific on the eye but can't moan about a point there

 

[HappyJack]

I must eat humble pie i was very annoyed first half but must say they played like Trojans second

 

[jazzy]

Beautiful.

Big question is whether you will be spursy against Southampton

 

[Street end man]

Still buzzing with that and i truly believe if Doucoures early 1v1 had have been taken we'd have then been battered. Great point that.

Thought Gueye/Mangala were superb in the middle of the park, snuffing everything and out being composed on the ball under preassure
