[Albion] Premier League 6-8/5/23

[Stat Brother]

Being bold, yes. A victory at Newcastle and wins over Everton and Man City puts us a point behind them.

As unlikely as it is, we don't give up on the Champions League. If we fall short in the Europa we'll still be delighted.

Exactly.
It's fudging well May and if we choose too we can still talk about next season's Champions League - why the hell wouldn't we?

The longer we get to talk about that the more likely the Europa League becomes.

Why look down?

Why have Arsenal got 'Visit Rwanda' on their shirts? Are they sponsored by Priti Patel and Suella Braverman?

Why have Arsenal got 'Visit Rwanda' on their shirts? Are they sponsored by Priti Patel and Suella Braverman?

Because like far too many clubs, they don’t care where from or how bloody the money is, it’s just about the money.

Good to see the bank holiday drinking is in full swing

 

[Is it PotG?]

Why have Arsenal got 'Visit Rwanda' on their shirts? Are they sponsored by Priti Patel and Suella Braverman?

No, not in the slightest.

Emblazoned on shirtsleeves, on training equipment and, during home matches, on the advertising boards surrounding the pitch. This is the exposure that a £10million-per-year sponsorship agreement guarantees the Rwandan government with football's wealthiest clubs to promote their tourist board's message: 'Visit Rwanda'.

Nice attempt at Hislop style political satire though.

What a thoroughly entertaining half of football that was. Newcastle are really fired up and playing with a lot of intensity while the geordie crowd is almost comically rabid.

I wouldn't want to be a police horse on Tyneside tonight

What odds on Xhaka lasting the whole match?

His brother has just been sent off for FC Basel

Along with two other Basel players and a Zurich sub who only came on in the 96th minute… Have the Swiss government put something in the water? What happened to clocks and Toblerone and washing Nazi gold?

This has all the makings of a game where everything’s about to kick off

 

[A1X]

2-0, looks like an OG

 

[Morvangull]

Arsenal 2-0 good

This has all the makings of a game where everything’s about to kick off

Was thinking the same. Just stuck a fiver on a red card at 8/1

 

[Eric the meek]

Martinelli should have had an assist for that own goal - it's only fair.

 

[A1X]

Here comes Count Twatula

 

[Coldeanseagull]

We've now got to see Declan Rice live up to the hype. It'll be a good Sunday then

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Arsenal out-dirty-lowdown-gamesmanshipping Newcastle. Lovely to see

 

[Gabbiano]

The time wasting by Arsenal unreal. Near Villa levels.

Players down holding their heads after being breathed upon.

Starting a brawl in injury time where everyone is half heartedly pushing each other clearly just to waste time. Then the ref blows up on the dot without adding any further time.

Something that needs to be stamped out of the game. I’m aware we do it as much as anyone else
