Absolutely amazing TV. Best thing I've watched in ages. Makes me like Man City a whole lot more than I did!

Re: Locadia, I hope above all this is a lesson to all our fans last January who were desperate that we would sign any player under the sun as long as he was a striker. As it was, I never think games like these are overly helpful in accurately assessing players. Clearly Ali J and Locadia aren't...

I thought Knocky was bloody fantastic today.

I agree. I think it would be very unwise for us to lose Hemed considering the fitness issues with Locadia and Andone.

*rolls eyes*

Still chuckling away to myself at this.

I'm thinking absolutely this. Would be throwing caution to the wind to have three strikers, only one being a proven entity, and all three are potential injury fodder.

Just thinking about it, I'd be very surprised if Hemed was sold/loaned out. We only have four strikers, and the fitness of the other three is nowhere near guaranteed. If Murray hasn't recovered by Saturday I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Hemed leading the line at Watford. Chris knows what he...

Hemed posted an Instagram video showing his new number, so hopefully that means he's not too dismayed by it. Love Tomer, one of the classiest individuals in the squad. Hope he stays and has a good year for us.

I think you missed the point of my post, and I do apologise if it wasn't clear. My overarching point was that the poor timing of Özil's meeting with Erdogan made it inevitable that he could be made a scapegoat if Germany were to do badly at the World Cup. In a perfect world, no one should be...

I'm not really too sure what to make of this as an outsider who only has his performances for Arsenal, Germany and a few BBC news stories to go by. Clearly, the racist comments he has received and the hate mail are completely unacceptable, and I can understand why his position in the team has...

3 - no fault of the club (minus the pony kits), I'm just still in World Cup/England mode, dreaming of Euro 2020, and probably need a little break from football!

Absolute pony. I can't believe we've waited all summer for that.

France deserved winners. The only teams comparable to them in terms of performance were Belgium, and they managed to see them off. England and Croatia were next best teams after that, so I feel the tournament played itself out justly.

This. And hopefully our Lewis will have a place in the squad too.

Really hope both sides play a strong squad and we end on a high.

This, this and more this. I think the 2012 Olympics brought back the Union Jack, and I hope this World Cup brings back the St. George's Cross. Genuinely grinned from ear to ear whenever I saw it flying from houses, rattling on cars or painted on faces during the tournament.

Who cares? As Wrighty said, let the nation hope and dream! What fun is it going into a semi-final with the pundits overly-respecting the opponents and downplaying our chances? I didn't see a single pundit say we were already in the final. Everyone knew Croatia would be tough but we hoped beyond...

Agreed. His ability to stretch defences with his pace and skill is reason enough for the starting shirt. Just a shame his end product/final decision making is often lacking.

My wife, who is not a football fan, summed the game up in the car incredibly accurately I feel: it seemed like Croatia knew we would come racing out of the starting blocks (a la Tunisia, Panama, Colombia etc.) and realised as long as they didn't go in 2 or 3 goals down at the break, we would...
