There's a well described principle that expalins a lot of this: The Dunning-Kruger effect:

In summary, some people are too stupid to realise they are stupid. It's always been the case, but now these people have access to the internet.
At £25m (ish) it's a gamble. But probably one worth taking for a team in Arsenal's position. Suspecting it will happen and good luck to him, and to Aresnal, if it does.
I am not doubting the veracity of this story* but I would note that if Chelsea want to keep faith in Potter, as I am sure they do, then they need to find ways to take some pressure off him and make fans like him more. This story will help. However, it did come from Fabrizio Romano, who would...
Man Utd win by a mile (we aren't going to catch them) which then allows Palace to beat Newcastle at the weekend without too much risk of making up significant ground on us.
Maybe. Probably.
I'm not naive enough to think that there wouldn't be plenty of fans willing to bask in purchased glory at any club. One or two on here blaming the anti-Saudi sentiment on envy, which tells you how they'd respond to such a takeover, given the chance.
But I still think there would...
I genuinely think that Liverpool supporters have a bit more backbone and a bit more about them than the rollovereasy Geordies.
I would suspect if Qatar goes for this (and they will be warmly welcomed by the Premier league and the Tories of course) they may find a far less warm welcome on...
This is what i can't (be bothered to) work out.
Did the agent go public before de zerbi admitted the bust up?
Or possibly de zerbi and the club knew it was coming so went public in advance.
It did seem tbe club were trying g to keep it quiet with the 'calf Injury'. But de zerbi was also giving...
1. Newcastle
2. Chelsea
3. Man City
Also.Newcastle.
The rest are pretty much just clubs. Rivals on tbe day we play them, or when they are just above, or below us. But just other clubs. With a higher or lower % of knobhead fans, but just clubs.
Palace rivalry is fun. But can't really hate them.
I think we have a good chance of overhauling
Fulham over the rest of the season.
Whereas if Chelsea get going, and build any momentum, we could struggle to keep up with them. Despite the revisionism on various threads, we know that Potter is a good manager and they have plenty of very good...
I have no real dog in this fight.
A pox on all their houses.
But the (right wing, billionaire owned) media response, and the widespread, acceptance of the narrative set by that media is doing a very good job of proving Harry right in the most important part of what he has said.
Think it depends on the opposition.
Who are not Brighton, and therefore about whom I know fcuk all.
On which basis I am out
(apart from thinking there might be a surprise start for Trossard as he always seems to play well against Liverpool and none of us really have a clue what's really going...
Was actually thinking he's looking OK so far. Better in attack than defence mind, but was ever thus.
Certainly nothing like the confidence-free wreck he looked at the Amex.
