Last season it was a great game but Citeh were already Champions. Going to be very tough, the amount of ticket exchange says it all. Arsenal fans probably buying them

I have put mine on exchange, to be honest I am a bit meh about football, the whole season seems to have taken a nose dive.
A lot of it has to do with the reports around RDZ being unhappy and it seems to have had a negative impact on the squad.
If it gets sold, so be it, if it does not, I guess I might trundle along, sorry for being a bad fan, I just feel so meh about it all now.
Are you happy with the squad? It’s a bit of a paceless patched up dads army. We aren’t going to win much with that lot and so it’s proved although it is amusing watching Lallana look like he’s stuck in treacle when attempting to run.

Not going but only because I had foot and leg surgery last week and I’m having to keep my leg raised at the moment. Planning to make it to the Villa game so apologies in advance to anyone stuck behind me limping up to the WSU.

Going. However as I mentioned on a thread last week about taxi booking.....only four of us going so only need a car rather than a minibus. The meh factor is very much still there.

Even I'm thinking about sacking off Chelsea, it'll be full of Chelsea twats and I really can't be bothered with the hassle of a midweek game to be surrounded by visiting fans.

The squad is ravaged with injury, players playing out of position, or being thrust into the squad when they are not first choice.
It is what it is, and yes overall I am happy with the squad we have at our disposal but frustrating because a fully fit squad would give anyone never mind Manchester City a run for their money and capable of beating anyone.
It is just frustrating, add to that uncertainty surrounding RDZ, makes for a cocktail of gloom.

In my mind anyway, this season promised and gave us so much, now it's fizzled out like my mojo.

I agree to some extent although we had the exact same problem last season remember our bench at Wembley. The squad was always way to thin to cope with the extra games Europe provided. The midfield problem has been the glaringly obvious elephant in the room and a long with our most creative player out we have gone backwards. It wouldn’t matter who the coach is Welbeck is only going to score a limited amount of goals and nowhere near enough to get us anywhere. Hence the lack of goals scored.

March and Mitoma are massive misses for us, the long the season has gone on the more it has been evident.
Mitoma did the business for us at the tail end of last season, he was pivotal in our win against the muff at home, doubt we will even get a point this Sunday down there.

sold ticket. Not worth the travel issues. Touch and go if could get back even before any issues and there are always issues.

add in the fact we can't currently create much + RDZ has gone all down and out.

Few beers and couch far far more appealing

Bloody Hell.

I know there are some who won't be able to go for really good reasons, but aren't games like tomorrow what we fought so hard to get a ground for?

Watching one of the world's best teams, and seeing some of of the world's best players.

And Man City are playing too.
I think this season we're still coming off the Euro drugs, hope we can put in a decent performance. Lets face it, Albion has the potential to have a huge say in the title race, the world is watching

I wonder how different it will be to last season. Probably the best game I’ve ever seen us play live. We went absolutely toe to toe with them.

This season im expecting another absolute drubbing. Which may lead to holding onto RDZ for another summer which I can’t decide whether is a positive or not.

Could be one of those 'I Was There' games like the Dan Burn Winnah game. Could also of course be one of those 'I Wish I Were Anywhere Else' games. Fascinating encounter either way. Taking the positives, at least we won't have to suffer waiting for an eternity to watch their assistant catering manager being presented with his championes medal. Hurrah!
