It wasn't that long ago that we had Pellegrino and Hughes. Hassenhutl is a brilliant manager, there is no denying that, but to turn things around after the damage those two, plus Les Reed and Krueger, enflicted, is nothing short of remarkable. I hope, and am optimistic, he is here for the long haul.

Hmmm, it'll be interesting to see how that pans out. I think if DaGrosa was serious it would be done by now. Given how well we're doing this season, either Gao no longer wants to sell (understandable) or people are waiting until the economy stabilises.

Just look at our bench on Monday. Young players know they will get an opportunity with us. The intelligent ones will always choose us over Chelsea. Take Tella for example, I think he showed enough on Monday that he will have an excellent career. Arsenal would never have given him the opportunity we gave him. He knew that. And that benefits us because we not only get technically gifted players but mentally intelligent ones too.

Where's Romeu

Given their performances against lowly Fulham, West Brom and Newcastle, they are not the supreme team of last season and we can inflict serious damage if they are below par again. Looking forward to it, will be a good contest

😂

Apparently a number of Fulham players tested positive and their game against Tottenham may get postponed

I'm hoping we can Forster a few mistakes from the opposition today

Back to winning ways tonight, 4-0 with a Long goal off his penis again

I really really want us to win this one, their fans are some of the worst in the league, maybe English football. I'd stick with Long, unpopular opinion but I thought he grew into the game at Fulham. Brings Ings on for the last 20 (if Ralph can stomach making an early sub) against their tiring defence, given they haven't even played this weekend's fixture yet. With Romeu back, I reckon we'll just about have enough to beat them.

Think we'll win this one with relative ease.

Harry Redknapp is at the game doing punditry for Amazon, if you're going please give him hell.

We didn't disgrace ourselves in either league game against them last season. Whether we'll be lucky enough to keep them out like last time will be a different matter but we're a good team and Man City will have to play very well to beat us. I'd take a point tbh.

Also some bad news about Amazon's coverage. For the Man City game on Saturday, a certain H. Redknapp is at St Mary's doing punditry.

Feeling more confident than I did against Brighton and Sheffield United. As long as we stick to our game plan we really should win this, they may have some quality individual players who would walk into our side, but they're not a team and once you get into a rut, it all goes downhill quickly. I can honestly see them getting into a relegation battle as long as Arteta stays there.

Absolutely no reason why we can't go there and win.

It's still very congested in the middle, not counting any chickens just yet!

I hope Sharp gets a decent reception from the fans at the ground.

People said the same about Brighton too The reality is Brighton aren't a very good team, and Sheffield United are even worse than them.

Also, on a PPG basis, the teams we've faced have been harder than the teams we've got left to play. I think the crux will be where we are after MW19. It's still very tight in the middle. Arsenal aren't that far behind us for example.

We will win and easily, they're down there for a reason, they're a terrible team. Got found out pretty easily and have been awful for the whole of 2020.

One of my favourite games of all time that. Peter Walton was the referee, one of the worst refereeing performances of all time. Taricco ended up getting sent off, and after being denied a number of stone wall penalties, Lambert got given one that was a dive.

Yup, not too sure why there is so much controversy. It was tight, but foul continued in the box. As someone said on Twitter, it's simply a matter of geography.

Lol love it, another jammy win against Brighton Forgot why I dislike them so much. Poyet may not be there any more, but their players and fans are still some of the biggest whiners and moaners in English football.

Brighton really are not that great, poor quality team and will only stay up because other teams are far worse than them. Anything other than a win will be disappointing.
