Good questions:
1. No, but you have to give the guy a chance and I guess I was somewhat silence by the frenzy of fans. media and the like who fawned over him. Had I posted then, would have been crucified, and perhaps fairly so. But, and I can only say this is without the benefit of hindsight, I...
I wonder why you wonder. THE fateful day was beating Arsenal 2-1 at Emirates after a run of 7 games, 1 point and 1 goal. That was Caicedo's debut; we went on to take 16 points from final 8 matches and nearly qualified for Europe. Potter's part in that? He admitted later that he should have...

Smuggle? They show them to the security who make sure there is a nice variety of colours for a good display and give them an indication of when to light and where to throw. They're away supporters, that what we do at the Amex.

On another tack, what's "We've got Super Rob de Zerbi" going to be replaced with after Thursday? Injuries and some left field formations have put line 2 in danger, and line 4 is partially true but on his current form not one I would shout about. Line 5 becomes redundant.
The irony is that might have worked better. Ajax held Villa (who we obviously would not have played) 0-0, so at least have a chance against the clear favourite for the cup. It bugs me rather that Marseille also won 4-0; you begin to wonder if Pedro might have done a greater service launching...
