Well, I am retired. Can’t afford to go mad, or the next holiday will be at risk.

Just blame me if you end up at Skeg Vegas next year

Looking forward to the Villa v Arsenal game tonight.

This really is a huge game for Arsenal and a free hit for Villa. Arsenal have done well to cope with all the injuries but it seems Rice is 50/50 for tonight who would be a big loss if he misses out.

Villa are on an incredible run but haven't looked that impressive on the road, lots of narrow wins. They did an job on Arsenal a few years ago which cost them the title and their danger on the break is exactly what Arsenal don't like, especially with the defence depleted.

Like others have said, the odds don't really seem to add up. I would make Arsenal favourites but not 1.4 on

Great start for the Toon at Turf Moor!!!

This could be a long night for Burnley.

Eventful start to the game at Stamford bridge. Early goal for Bournemouth and now a penalty for Chelsea to tie it up.

Harsh decision imo how they’re classing that as a trip but that’s the state of the game now.

Burnley 4/1 home to Newcastle looks bigger given Newcastle's away form.

Thanks for the tip Brick top

How the hell was Kyle Walker allowed to steal so many yards at that throw in...must have been fully 15 yards from where the ball went out of play?

Dont worry....Newcastle can always balls things up. Burnly back in it. In fact they've been in total control since we went 2up.

You're a stressful team this year.

I can't believe this will end 1-2.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Do they not bother with foul throws anymore ? Clear one by Arsenal there

Back to the Gyokeres is a flop or isn’t he. one touch all game so far and it was a header just over the bar from the 1 cross Arsenal actually put into the box. Every single other time they’ve had the ball they get to the byline and cut back into traffic with their wingers trying to score cutting out any threat having an actual CF has in the game.

So imo Jury still out considering the team and players around him still set out and play everything in field and can’t seem to pass to the actual striker.

Rasmus Hojlund MKII.

Incredibly open

Well now they’ve put a 2nd cross in the box and her for on the end of that as well narrowly missing. Makes you think Hjolund and him both in sides that needed a Striker but don’t play football that allows them to flourish.

Had this discussion with my mate recently.
They’ve signed a striker & not playing to his strengths.
But when you’re top of the league & winning,is it really the time to change things?
It’s a tricky one.

Dalot must be the worst player in the league at cutting out crosses
