I've been busy this weekend so been removed from the footy but a genuine thought crossed my mind before yesterday's game...

There was lots of talk about how things were toxic on here. Is this something that's reflected at the stadium or is it just that the 'hard to please' lot on here and Twitter moan the loudest?

Bit harder to judge after yesterday not though.

Oh and Angeball...?

Nope, the stadium has been backing Ange every game this season

It’s just the online XG lot that are frothing at the mouth

If anything, the online XG mob are the ones backing ange, as the underlying metrics are extremely good, it’s the “online proper football geezers” who have been doing the frothing.

You just know who they are. The overweight Sunday league players who once pinged a "Hollywood pass" (that was meant to go to the winger but ended up on the toe of the striker), and made them a legend in their own minds.

The ones that then started banging on about "360 degree" vision, overheard the word "trequartista" and shoehorned it into every conversation in the pub, after spending 90 minutes pointing to where everyone else should be, whilst never venturing out of the centre circle.

Basically pound shop Tim Sherwoods.

Arteta was literally shouting from the sidelines during our match against the scum saying "Let them have it" lol!

Teams know we do fuck all with it and we are absolutely vulnerable on the counter and susceptible to lapses of concentration at the back and poor positioning due to the system, so yes, teams are more than likely letting us have the ball, hence why you don't really see teams pressing us until the final third.

Of course there will be times when pressing the ball is not in the best interest and getting into shape and defending is. That’s obvious. What I’m saying is this notion that opposition managers are coming into matches and allowing us to have the ball because we are toothless is absurd.

Arteta also thinks pets can win you Premier League titles. He's a master psychologist.

So many deluded posters. The table has already taken shape, with the contenders in the top 5 or 6 positions. Spurs are way off it. We are well on the way to being a Gerry Francis era mid table hot and cold mediocre outfit.

We’ve slashed our wage bill by 20% in the last 12 months

A retail strategy investment vehicle, tweaking at private equity billionaires. The manager is irrelevant, Alex and Peo duo would fail under baldie bastard Byrite
