Other clubs can buy our players, but they cannot buy our schadenfreude.

And it's in our hands still. All we have to do is not drop points for the remaining 36 games and the title is ours. There are going to be some massive fixtures this season against our 100% rivals, Manchester City and Arsenal or Palace.

So the one he misplaced was a one-yard nothing pass on the half-way line? I can only assume we'd used all our subs at that point so RDZ couldn't immediately hook him.

I think it's still yesterday in some time zones. #KeepTheFaith

I'm late to the party and when I started the stream YouTube indicated that 59K were watching already. For a friendly that seems... substantial. Maybe it's mostly Rayo Vallecano fans, but if it's not Barber really should start planning for extra tiers on all four stands.

Selfishly: somewhere I can get to by train relatively easily and with a large enough stadium that ticket sales go down to those of us day-tripper away fans who are usually in the second loyalty points tier.

I was going to call this thread "Albion on fire". But I suppose it's a serious matter.

Parkrun on Hove prom was pretty punishing this morning. Still had the tail end of that northeasterly wind, which was refreshing on the two long legs towards the Meeting Place cafe, but with the wind speed being approximately "jogging pace" it vanished when we were running with it. I think I may...

The part one video is here: https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/arsenal/12898551/when-playing-out-from-the-back-goes-wrong-2223-part-1 We feature again, as beneficiaries again. I wonder if Sky have enough examples for a part three.

That bloke at least had the excuse that at that point we hadn't seen Enciso score any worldies. Whereas I may have rolled my eyes and loudly groaned "don't shoot" when I saw him lining up his shot against Manchester City. Ahem.

Mad that Sky are making a football match more easily available to customers who don't pay for Sports.

I've only got the nowtv entertainment but I'm watching on Sky Showcase. Just go to the TV Guide and it's the first option.

If there are only 8,000 Brighton fans and no City fans that could work out well for us again. Let's see if we can talk the ref into another soft sending off.

For the benefit of anyone else still slightly worried about the risk of our goal difference taking a hammering tonight and Sunday... since the resumption of football after the World Cup, only Manchester United, Fulham and, er, Charlton have kept clean sheets against us; leave out cups and it's...

Never in doubt. (Except maybe when it was briefly 2-2. I doubted a little then.)

Great thread. Since the final whistle I've had to stop myself thinking about the European away days my wife would have been planning for us, because it hurts too much. She always loved a city break to somewhere with culture and history or, you know, Aberdeen. RIP Amy.

It feels like this rollercoaster season keeps accelerating. We had amazingly good games under Potter at the beginning, then a difficult patch under De Zerbi before the World Cup break, then a pretty good run that did include some unexpected dips like losing to Fulham or drawing with Leeds, then...

We need one win from the last three games of the season, and if we don't get anything from the next two it will all come down to the final match at Villa. I'm old enough to remember the last time that happened. Fingers crossed we make it over the line this time.

I still can't get my head around the fact that we're only two weeks from the end of the season and third place in the Premier League is still a possibility, however unlikely. Even a draw tonight would keep the dream alive for a few more days...

Exactly. Enough of this calculating permutations of our and other teams' results. Like Tony Bloom and Ivan Toney I'm a natural gambler: I want us to go for the win and the glory. And I'm Scottish so heroic defeat also sits pretty comfortably with me if that's the outcome.
