He is going straight to the very top. I think we'll need to get Champions League football to stand any chance of keeping him any longer than this season. 4 goals & 2 assists in 369 minutes of PL football this season, i.e a goal involvement every 60 odd minutes. You hear a lot about 'aura' in...

Only defensively, lots of attacking and midfield options

Swap Dunk for Igor and that might be our strongest team at the moment. Not seen enough of O’Riley yet, maybe Hinsh for Ayari

If Dunk is fully fit he should go straight back in. From the presser it seems as though Hürzeler is insinuating he may not be 100% - maybe he starts on the bench and gets some second half minutes depending on the state of the game. Fully expect him to be back in for Southampton though

After the press conference, I reckon Pervis starts and one of Hinsh or Ayari will be fit enough to start alongside Baleba. Bart Veltman, JPvH, Igor, Pervis Baleba, Ayari Minteh, Georginio, Joao Pedro Welbeck

Doubt Pervis starts after playing 90 mins last night - who plays left back if Ferdi & Hinsh are both injured?

Heard something quite funny re the RING FENCED cash the other day Parish etc are eager to get going, but Lendlease won’t start procurement until they see a deposit (naturally), and 'unfortunately' our friends up the road aren't able to even stump up money for the deposit at the moment...

Couple of cinema trips for me last week. Waiting for the initial rush for Gladiator II to subside before going. Anora - 9/10 A brilliant piece of filmmaking. Sean Baker is a really impressive director, handles his subject very delicately. Wasn't expecting it to be so funny either, and has the...

Or maybe the most loyal fans will just want to watch the team in what could be our most successful season ever?

That’s exactly what he wants, more interactions and more publicity. This guy is a pathetic ‘two-bob’ online ‘celebrity’ - just ignore him and he’ll eventually fade away

If you can get tickets in the lower tier I think it's a great away. We usually start in Bethnal Green (great pubs) and make our way into Hackney Wick (through Victoria Park if the weather is decent). I can see why some think it's shit if they go via Stratford before and after the game.

I know he only signed one a year ago, but here's hoping that we tie JPvH down to a nice contract extension in the very near future

Around 50 left, no sign of the back rows being released yet

We'd 100% sell out all four, probably all at STH level. But when you have the possibility of the Bernebeu, Westfalenstadion and San Siro etc, I reckon Leipzig being your biggest away feels a bit shite

I know their home fixtures are much better, but if I was a Villa fan I'd be gutted about those away games. I reckon that all four of our Europa aways were better draws than any of those four.

Would you like to look at the teams in the Champions League & the Conference League this season and have a rethink on this one?

Dunno.. Saturday 3pm in London, lots will be off work for xmas, 10 LPs, team in good form. Reckon they'll go quickly. The fixture last year was just after NYD so probably contributed to slow sales

Looks like a fair few 'nose beers' might have been consumed before the filming of that

Rory Jennings is a little weirdo. Failed actor. 41 years old but could pass for a teenager. Benjamin Button **** Apparently hasn't shown his face at a Chelsea game in ages because a load of their fans hate him. It's funny as I actually think people like him are one of the worst aspects of...

There could be something in this one, repeated a few times with a different second line each time. Easy enough for the Amex crowd too, could be a loud one.
