9/15 and I will take that all day long.

Quite a few noises on Twitter about a 12 point deduction decision being imminent. Does make you (money) wonder why (oil money) this has been (oil) sorted so much (money) quicker than Man City's?

Not to get too ahead of ourselves, but that could then likely mean a straight shootout vs Marseilles on the final gameweek, winner tops the group.

I can see us being really up for the win here - a score to settle after the home fixture, and hopefully players returning from injury also.

The midfield battle would be fantastic to witness, but I just can't see past the Americas strikeforce. That African defence won't be able to keep out Ulloa, Enciso and Pedro IMO.

Comfortably the worst thing about modern life, these.

Thank you for your service.

Yet another situation I feel would be potentially improved by binning off the League Cup.

GET THAT F**KiNG BOARD DOWN One of my favourite things about Withdean days. Poor bloke.

I'd be tempted to say Adingra - wingers by their nature are inconsistent and can take time to bed in. I'd argue he has been neither.

Have to admit a 20 foot WERE LOOSE Will look pretty impressive.

Lovely assist, good work from Facundo. Thought he started brightly, very keen for him to be a little more central where he can affect the game a bit more.

I'm not saying finishing below Villa would be a failure. I'm saying that it will be fascinating to follow, given the comparative recent performance, squad quality (IMO), and the 2 opposite approaches - Emery is rotating far, far less than us. If second half of the season Villa wilt with...

No one is disputing that? Equally, no one should dispute that we have been competing with them league table wise of late. If everything was based on payroll, we'd be 16th. But this thread isn't titled "Would you take 15th place now, if offered?"

How much does he knows about head rubbing?

It's looking increasingly likely neutrals will get the final they want, nay, deserve.

LEAVE WARREN ALONE ffs

I don't deny any of that - that's a separate issue. I maintain I believe De Zerbi has us performing at a very similar level to Villa - hence our league positions over the last couple of seasons. Hardly a controversial view is it? Also, we know that we outperform teams regularly with regarding...

I wonder if it looked different from our viewpoints - I was in the North and I saw him cover a huge amount of ground, winning tackles and intercepting, pointing and directing like a wee General, and spraying some lovely passes. Him, Dahoud and Lallana were producing pure silk in the first 25...
