  1. Thought Arteta woukd start Partey with an eye to keeping Jorg fresh for Bayern. Expecting a tough game. They are on a slide but will show out today. Still… Let’s. Fucking. Go.
  2. TP’s typically cover a bit for drivers. This statement, though… “didn’t know where he was on track”? Sargent may not make it to Miami.
  3. That is a really salient point. Taking the sting out of a game and killing it off was something we struggled with in recent years, even earlier in this season. In years past, we'd have charged out in the 2H, got hit on the counter, then been forced to sweat out a 2-1, hoping a weird bounce didn't level it in extra time. Sometimes I forget this Arteta's first managerial position. He's learning and improving by leaps just like the players.
  4. Yup. Every year I ask, every year they send me the "sorry not sorry keep dreaming pleb" email. It's a tradition.
  5. Yup and Yup. Three points and on to the next. Got the goals in the 1H while getting some guys a much needed rest, since it gets thick and hair real fast*: Brighton Saturday, Bayern Tuesday, Villa Sunday, Bayern Wednesday, Wolves Saturday, Chelsea Tuesday, shit Saturday. Damn. *MichaelScottThatsWhatSheSaidOrHeSaid.gif
  6. Craig Pawson is a cocksucker. Reiss should have had a FK on the edge of their box, too.
  7. We need to wake the heck up; Luton get one and its very nervy
  8. I get bringing on Rice; lock down the points. Eddie? Yeah, he needs minutes I suppose. I still think we see Tomi for Zinny and Martinelli/Jesus for Reiss.
  9. Need a third to get Ode, White, and Gabi XL/Saliba off. Come on Arsenal
  10. I'd expect we'll see Gabi Jesus for Nelson at some point.
  11. Really would like a third goal. Come on Arsenal
  12. Not his best showing tonight. Hasn't looked sharp on either end. Kiwior is clearly in our best XI.
  13. Looks like it wasn't just a decision to rest Saka. Please 9 pound 8oz baby Jesus....
  14. Massive if we can get this done while resting some of our regulars. IF. Keep the pedal on the floor.
  15. Relief. Great to see ESR involved. LFG boys!!!!
  16. NSIAP. I'd pretty much destroy all of that.
  17. The apps (tablet and phone) are pretty great, too. Especially the Shot Tracker.
  18. If someone had told me in August we'd take eight points off of City and Liverpool, I'd have said no way. But here we are. Liverpool are the favorites at this point; we have to win out (hard away matches left mixed with a few banana peel home matches) and hope they slip once. Drop any points and then they have to slip twice (unlikely). I still have a fear that we're going to badly regret dropping five points to Fullham (we're top right now on GD if we don't concede to 10-man Fullham.) But still. The 4th quarter has started. Everyone is holding four fingers aloft. We've given ourselves a chance. Lets. Fucking. Go.
  19. We got those extra 30 seconds because Luton were booked for time-wasting in extra time. Lulz. Hopefully today isn't as stressful. In the 11 matches since the winter break, we've allowed five goals. Of those five, one which as in garbage time while up 4-nil on Sandcastle and another in with the final kick of the football v Porto due to Martinelli's brain fart clearance.
  20. What each of us have left: Liverpool: Sheff Utd (H), Man Utd (A), Crystal Palace (H), Fulham (A), Everton (A), West Ham (A), Spurs (H), Aston Villa (A), Wolves (H) Arsenal: Luton (H), Brighton (A), Aston Villa (H), Wolves (A), Chelsea (H), Spurs (A), Bournemouth (H), Man Utd (A), Everton (H) Man City: Aston Villa (H), Crystal Palace (A), Luton Town (H), Brighton (A), Nottm Forest (A), Wolves (H), Fulham (A), West Ham (H) Our run-in is probably more difficult: manure and spurs away, Chelsea (who play up to their competition) midweek before the NLD. Then again all three clubs will likely be playing every three days through the end of April. Agree re City. After Villa, they have the easiest fixture list; hard to imagine them dropping many (if any) points after Villa.
  21. Defensively, though, that was a masterclass. Benny Blanco, Gabi XL (MOTM), Rolls Royce, and Kiwior/Tomi all put in 10/10 shifts.
  22. Or not. Draw isn't a bad result. A loss would have been very damaging, a win potentially very uplifting. Maybe Arteta should have applied more pressure in the 2H; subs were all positive, though. The near-miss Jesus chance (if only his leg had been a few inches longer) in front of an open goal was the best of the match for either side and a massive missed opportunity. Gotta hope Liverpool drop points now.
