Arsenal take the lead through Saka. 1-0

 

[The Wizard]

When are they going to do something about this crowding round the referee? It’s getting disgraceful witnessing this every week now, book anyone who surrounds the referee and waves imaginary yellow cards.

Coventry 1-0 up at Derby

Coventry fans singing "We’re on our way" - this was a rather unique chant when we started singing it, seems every club sing it now. Yes I know we got it off Wednesday who copied it off Grimsby Town

Think you need to look up the word unique. Rather unique?

Arsenal reaping the rewards of sticking by their manager through some poor periods. Excellent young side to watch.

Agreed. He also made some very bold decisions. He recognised the likes of Guendouzi and Aubamayang were actually hurting the group and got rid. Ben White was a good signing and they're stronger generally than they have been for years. If they upgraded a few players in key areas (how is Xhaka still at this level?) they'd be title contenders.

Yep, Alex Ferguson was never scared of offloading key players if he felt they were damaging the group. From a shakey start White looks a key component of their success to this point.

Yup. Though think plenty of NSCers will struggle to choose between Abramovich and Connolly.

Middlesbrough donating their gate receipts to Ukraine humanitarian relief, just to rub in Chelsea's failure to get the game played behind closed doors.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

For no Chelsea fans, I seem to be able to hear Chelsea fans?

 

[swindonseagull]

I thought 3 wanted thier logo removed from Chelsea shirts?

 

[zefarelly]

I see Connolly is still attracted to the ground easily . . .
