Feels like a proper Saturday of football today with 7 games. All games quite intriguing too this weekend!

While 3 of the 5 TV games have no merit.
1 only has comedy value (hopefully).
and t'other may well fail to live up to expectations, as usual.

 

[Motogull]

This will be tough for us. Raph Ben is no mug and Everton have quality. Hopefully T-rex Pickford will not be a MOM contender.

Oh and good luck West Ham today.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Irons!

Nice to know any win will see us finish the day at least 3rd.

 

[Bodian]

Still quite a shock to scroll down the first post, and see us up there!

 

[Swansman]

Manchester City vs Arsenal feels as meh as Manchester City vs Norwich...

Will be watching Derby vs Nottingham instead.

Torn a bit about West Ham v Palace, do I adopt the normal position of hoping for Palace to lose heavily without scoring, or a no score draw so West Ham don't build a points advantage and goal difference advantage over us?

Obviously hoping for a draw in the late game, but I think Chelsea will beat Liverpool, and a Watford win tomorrow wouldn't hurt.

Considering West ham are likely to be a decent amount of points ahead of us come the end of the season, a 5-0 home thrashing please.

I have that tingly feeling of B positive on the septum

I also think West Ham will do well again, but I think we can be close to them this season, drew both games against them last season, suggesting we are not a much weaker side than them, just need to ignore that we drew both games with Fulham and Burnley too

BBC suggesting Arsenal playing three at the back so might not be too long before we see the real Ben White when he returns

2-0

 

[WhingForPresident]

Hopefully a 6/7-0 defeat isn't enough for Arteta to get the sack.

 

[Algernon]

For giggles

 

[The Fits]

Surely Arteta is getting sacked. Yes they’ve had two touch games but losing the first three after the mess of a season last year is dire to the extreme. Remember this guy demanded more autonomy over transfers, demanding it be his ‘process’. Shambolic by hilarious.

They're playing 5 at the back and 4 holding in midfield. They probably need to drop Auba back into midfield to help out.
