This. For their away games it's a lot more likely to be the pure football fans, than the local lads about town. They'll be colourful and passionate, I don't think they'll be any aggro if you're minding your own business and not goading them/asking for it. AEK fans at the Amex were good...

Sold. Sounds wonderful. If we got Bern, and i get ticket, think I'd try and make it a 4 or 5 dayer to see city and get up in mountains a couple of days. The one that may be most problematic for you & I non tier 1's is Lens. 1 hour out of Calais, dead easy to drive. Will be a binfest...

Should keep watching. Scores some good goals, 4 are pens and a couple of dodgy keepers, but in general looks pretty decent touch and finish for a bigger fella. Similar physical stature to Evan Ferguson.

Switzerland in February will be cold, but I guess beautiful backdrop too. They're currently leading the Swiss league so tricky tie. Interesting stadium name 😂

It was colonel mustard in the basement with the pipe.

If we are to finish second. Please be Benfica. Always wanted to go to Lisbon, we've got the beating of them and massive ground so plenty of tix!

He played well v Man City. Have read his match fitness was an issue, seems to be getting fitter now and definitely has a bit of nous/experience if he can stay fit and keep his head in a good place.

Our last 5 PL home games may well decide our season and they're all against those we're competing for Europe against. City Arsenal Chelsea Villa Man U

Certainly believe the club buy these rough diamonds with the intent to help them become Albion first team. Doesn't always work out like Zeqiri, but Sima is doing all that's asked of him. Our development team thought Rangers was a good move for him, hes gone there, he's doing really well there...

It's a Daily Mail little Englander wet dream. No place in reality

This. I thought MacAllister looked bang average in his first few months. I watched Enciso start in the away FA cup game v Stoke earlier this year, and he looked like a pretty shit headless chicken. Almost straight after that it clicked for him and he looked unplayable. Far too early to making...

Interesting. But watching games as played rather than by stats. I don't think anyone would seriously argue that Baleba is currently a better player for us than Caicedo was? The one benchmark I keep thinking back to is Biss in his first season (young age, from French League 1), he too was...

He was virtually anonymous. Our Midfield non existent. Was a lot better with more control when Gilmour came on

The transfer focus of the tradtional top 4 is also different to us. We buy to Improve and sell at profit to plug the huge financial chasm between us and top 4. And when we sell is our main focus, which isn't always about onfield sccess but maximising returns. They often buy something more...

I think that is a lazy comment and paints a false narrative. My own son is an U9's team, where there is no league table published, no player stats etc, its all about player development too. They were moved up 2 leagues in summer and first 10 games this season they were getting hammered each...

Took the words out of mouth HWT.

That's not the point. Its that with similar levels of competitions they're in too, Emery isn't tinkering personnel/positions. He just sticks with what worked in last game. Additionally, nearly every time in this game Martinez gets ball, long kick towards Watkins who tries to hold ball up with...

Watching Villa v Arsenal who are 1 up and Emery fielding same team as last 2. They're in europe too. This tinkerman stuff, injury/suspension aside, may have some advantage but also disadvantages.

There's an Amex blueprint. Watch Everton last season, West Ham this and try to emulate the low block/ counter.

Too many. We all know about RDZ "idea" and when it works, it's sensational. But we rarely threaten from corners, hardly ever from direct free kicks, we don't have much of an answer to low block and no real plan B. RDZ over Potter any day, but in his defence, Potter wasn't afraid to hit a...
