It won’t be a game quickly forgotten by my 10 year old grandson. It was his first ever PL game, having previously seen us lose to Plymouth in the cup. In fact the games he has watched on TV he has never seen us win. He couldn’t stop talking about...
When a decision went against Arsenal players were in the ref’s face for a good 30/40 seconds. Janelt got yellow for less than that and he was captain allowed to speak with ref. The refs boss needs to look at these decisions over a couple of...
When KA says he wants us to create chaos, does he have Schade in mind to be that person? He outruns a player, who brings him down and gets booked after which they are scared to touch him.
I hope KA has stressed the importance of not giving the refs the opportunity to book players for dissent. These are totally unnecessary. You can’t countenance the vagaries of ref decisions on what they perceive as fouls. Accept them, but don’t...
There didn’t appear to be any urgency, until it was too late. We dont play with any pace. Sunderland didn’t allow us to get a foothold in the second half because of their press. We just let them play round us, misplaced passes and constantly...
There were periods in the first half where I was not impressed with his wing play, but he grew into the game. His confidence improved and hopefully he can take that into Wednesday and Saturday
Henderson was embarrassing. Even in his own heart of hearts he must of known that Palmer deserved two reds and yet he defended the indefensible. I hope Brookes on VAR took time to compare his handling of Yarmo last week
I think we are PL savvy now. In our first couple of seasons we’re bullied off the ball, but have now hardened up and fight fire with fire when we need to. We are not a dirty side and have had relatively few players sent off unlike Arsenal used to...
My neighbour told me about a Birmingham player who was an absolute thug on the pitch. However, off the pitch one Christmas he bought every child in a Birmingham hospital a football shirt out of his own money.
If we say our squad depths are the best we have had in a long time, we should be able to cope with his loss. There are players that can step into the void, albeit playing a bit differently.
