    He's definitely not the perfect answer but at least he has big club experience and has won the Champions League. Also, any Bayern team would be struggling against what Leverkusen have done so far this season.

    It's hard to say for certain. I just think that Brighton come up against a low block less regularly than we do and are easily ripped apart when they do. He'd have it nearly every week here and I wouldn't be willing to risk it just being the players.

    I don't want de Zerbi. Brighton are wide open to the counter by any shit team that wants to play deep and break on them and it's a weakness that's never improved. He's not the level we need. Other than Xabi nobody is really other than maybe Tuchel. Whoever it will be will be some steps down on Jurgen.

    I gave my kids' membership up as we tried for years with no tickets. I'm on ACS with my mate and likely to lose access to the cup games if I drop off in the hope of getting them a game in one of those. Not really sure how kids are supposed to get access to games these days other than through someone you know when they start with zero credits. They're 11 and 9 now and have been to one league game each. I'd been to dozens by that age.

    The bit I loved most about his game today was a challenge on Kluivert just before half time. Can't remember what happened after but we had a decent situation from it. Kluivert had just left something on Bradley off the ball and Macca took the ball clean off him while hitting him with good force with his body. Just something to let him know he wasn't going to have his own way with the physical stuff but in a controlled way. Thought he was excellent all round today.

    Haha I didn't say it was recently.

    Had an issue with my foreskin splitting quite often during sex and got circumcised just before new year. Currently halfway through week 3 of around 4-6 where I can't have a wank or do any shagging while it heals. I'm also on antibiotics for a UTI picked up following the surgery and have to sit down to go for a piss as it goes everywhere. Fortunately I seem to be past the point where getting a hard on leads to me to bleed from the wound but the stitches haven't dissolved properly yet as they should have done so I'll probably need to have them taken out next week. Had more enjoyable starts to a year.

    I love the optimism about their bargaining power on the new stadium if they have to sell it. The new owner of the ground will obviously want to pay top whack for it with it being 'the best stadium ever' and will then be happy to make huge losses by negotiating a bad rent deal with Everton as part of doing that. There's no chance whoever bought it would want to pick it up on the cheap and fleece them on their rent because these companies never want to do anything like that. They'll just be in it for the prestige.

    That's true actually. He cut a lot of that out after the Dolan match. It was pretty disrepectful.

    Hate is too strong a word but in my case but I thought he came across a bit arrogant in a few of his interviews. I know he's just a kid but his personality reminded me a bit of a young Phil Taylor so I found myself rooting against him. He handled it well after the final yesterday to be fair but my gut feeling is that the likeable part about him is just the story around how incredible his achievement is and not necessarily him as a person.

    I think their fans could turn if we score early. Worst nightmare is a draw with a replay in the winter break. We played a full on youth team last time we that happened as the first team were all given a holiday. I don't fancy shelling out for a ticket to watch them put half a dozen past us.
  13. Turkish Delight
    We should be 3 or 4 up. They couldn't live with our intensity early on but came into it when the level dropped. If we can match that intensive aggressive play from the first 30 minutes we'll score eventually.
  14. Turkish Delight
    Their players look under pressure constantly and like they aren't enjoying their football. You see the little arguments and the desperate play when they're up against it. It's the sort of desperation a 20 year wait for the title can bring where every dropped point feels like the end. Their fans aren't helping too especially the Gooner element. They watch footy for the bantz and the things levelled back at them by similar minded people is that they're bottlers. When they seem their team struggle in a game they take out their frustration on them because they lose the upper hand in their little bantz wars. That just breeds resentment in the end. They have a very good team but they'll win nothing this season.

    I don't have any spiritual or religious beliefs so I think that helps shape my outlook a lot. I won't be here forever and in a hundred years I'll be pretty much forgotten so the only things that are truly important are the happiness of me, my kids and the people around me. Little things that happen during a day and at work don't stress me as they're only things that are being done at a point in time and I have bigger priorities than things like my career. I view money as a means to an end and I'm not impressed by expensive things. I've been to places with very wealthy people through work and experienced things probably not many get to but I'm happier having a week in Benidorm on the piss with my mates. In contrast Monaco for example is my idea of hell on earth. As with anyone I have cycles of good and bad times. The only way through the bad times is making the little changes I can to make things better and to not waste time worrying about things I can't change. That can be easier said than done at times and as a single dad there are times loneliness has kicked in a little despite having lots of friends but I know that all times pass and those times do too. Overall I think I'm a decent fella and try to be friendly to people I meet if they are to me. I see myself as no better or worse than anyone else and I'm quite happy with that.

    I wouldn't be resting anyone at Arsenal. We'll have one game in 13 days leading into it and no league game for 2 weeks after it. The team should be able to go there and play the first leg v Fulham. There's no way I want an under strength team getting pasted there. Also, AFCON starts for Egypt 6 days after that game too. Is Mo definitely out for it?
  17. Turkish Delight
    I can't get too wound up on the handball as though it was wrong it was before our equaliser and there's no guarantee on how the overall outcome plays out if we get it. I thought Arsenal were good and our chance to win was Trent's one. It didnt need to be leathered similar to many others we've missed this season in key moments. It just needed passing in.

    They've played 7 semi finals there in their history. We've played 8 at Anfield since 2015.

    The quality of the 40 (!) crosses we put in yesterday was poor. Going beyond just yesterday though Darwin has a tendency of making good passes look like nothing as he often doesn't even get a decent shot off when he receives them. The back post header yesterday where he tried to pass was an example along with the numerous others in other games where he's fallen over his own feet

    The bar in terms of points total at this stage of the season is lower than in most recent years. We'd be 11 points behind our title winming team as an example. It's hard to imagine nobody will outperform their first half of the season total in the second half though.

    Might be one for the amnesty thread this but you can see in Trent's game how much he wants to be Stevie. Stevie was an asbolute hero in big moments for us and an incredibily talented and determined footballer. For the successes though there were times when he tried to force a game if it was going against us where it didn't work and I felt at times there could be a detrimental effect on the team when he tried the low percentage option too much. The second half against Chelsea in 2014 was probably the biggest example of that. Trent is trying to force the game too much at the moment. There are times it is coming off (and it was only inches away from that today) but it breaks down any concept of team play a lot. There must have been a dozen chips to Onana or into the crowd today which just caused breaks in play that helped United. He needs to find a balance to that or it will have a very detrimental effect on the team and what it can achieve.

    Our forwards have one goal between them in the last 5 league games. As a team we have no style of attacking play other than reliance on individual brilliance to open games up. Right now none of them are providing that. As for Darwin it's painful to watch at the moment. For large parts this season he's looked dangerous but lacking composure in front of goal. He was a liability today. Constantly offside and the two chances he did have didn't even result in a shot which is an ongoing theme.
  23. Turkish Delight
    I put him into a bet builder to be offside twice or more and he managed at least double that. Also reckon he had our best chance of the match with the back post header first half that he chose to pass.
  24. Turkish Delight
    Frustrating game that. There are a number of things in our game that are difficult to watch and while I'm delighted we're close to the top I don't actually know what we want to be as a team. We play with zero width most games until we change system as the one we start with isn't working. For any unambitious team it's easy to defend and doesn't move them about. We appear to be a team reliant on the quality of our individuals (and set pieces) and there's no noticeable patterns of play. Our goals are generally from individual brilliance or set pieces. There was certainly no link up play of any note today or in many other games lately. There are also the same negative individual traits that are coming to the fore every game when we have the ball and are repeated constantly. Salah predictably cutting in on this left and being tackled, Nunez being caught offside and making decent chances seem like nothing, Gravenberch underhitting passes behind players, Szoboszlai belting the ball into the crowd from miles out, Trent trying the impossible relentlessly and losing the ball on 90 odd per cent of them. Without the ball we have a shape and plan but that's it. With it we're just a collection of individuals who are trying things. It needs to improve for us to have a chance of contending.

    I've seen the interview and it wasn't. He gets a bit of a pass for being a kid but if he was a few years older he'd have just come across a bit cunt-ish.
