Well well well that evening started with such promise and ended with the usual disappointment

Mrs went out after work and my mum was out yest so had my daughter all day looking forward to my evening.. (first mistake) go 1-0 up.. should be about 2 up maybe if we had punished arsenal's mucking about at the back ..

Half time comes.. right shower before second half so ready to go bed early start .. Mrs comes home full of stories from her evening talking to me.. we let one in.. think ok just carry on they haven't looked good at all (neither had we but they looked worse) next thing they turn on the class and it's 3

Wonder how long MP has left. I like him personally but I'm not sure the players are responding to him

I'd heard the same, would seem an odd deal if its true though, 60m plus a player recently bought for 60m so effectively total deal of 120m for a player in his 30s and only a year left on his contract. Can't see it somehow even if he hasn't pulled up trees it doesn't make financial sense. Unless they're proposing a straight swap.

Just football politics imo.
If someone wants your player there’s always a higher bid from someone else.
They are pre empting a bid from clubs.
That’s not good for Arsenal.

Been saying that since they started doing it, they just can't do it, and should stop poste haste.

That applies to a whole host of clubs. It was clear on Saturday that Big Dunc had ditched that philosophy for Everton and we were much the better for it. It did not mean hump it forward every time but it did mean don't be so blinkin obvious and bring trouble on yourself. When team play Arsenal, Everton, Southampton are obvious as well, all they have to do is pile forward and pressure the keeper and defenders. No need to worry about the empty midfield behind you as they never pop it over your head. We mixed it up on Saturday and suddenly Chelsea had to stretch themselves out and we had more space and made fewer stupid mistakes at the back, who the hell thought Michael Keane could play like Beckenbauer and it would end well? Too many coaches get stuck on a philosophy and it does not work for every team all of the time.

Totally agree it’s great if you have the players but most don’t.

Agree with this 100%. Even at Spurs under Poch we forced this playing out from the back rubbish, Lloris is useless with his feet so it failed miserably. If you've got Ederson/Alisson and some class on the ball centre backs then fair enough. Anyone else - it's not possible to gauge really but I'd love to see a comparison of how many good attacks it created vs how many chances on your own goal it cost you. I think for most it would be in the negative.

Simon Jordan is the only person I can think of who has a higher opinion of themselves than Piers Morgan.

He does havr a high opinion of himself but having just listened ti him and the prat from ATV, I'd agree with Jordan entirely, each time he made or tried to make a point the pleb from ATV just behaved like a child throwing a strop shouting over him and claiming to be better than him in every way

I didn't listen to this particular piece to be fair, at work now. Mine was more of a general point about him, self appointed expert in his field, ego the size of a small country.
 
Nice professional job tonight against a dangerous team - some clinical finishes and some not so ? , top of the group

Potential opponents

Real Madrid
Atletico Madrid/Bayer
