Premier League 2017/18

God DAMN it Alvaro!

Danny Drinkwater to save the day!  

WING BACK FURY~!!   1-2!!

[Jimmy]

Maitland-Niles had played well up until that, even though I had no idea he was a wing-back, was playing CM for under 20's earlier this year at the World Cup. Was actually quite annoyed cos he was a back-up to Onomah, who we shipped out on loan, and Maitland-Niles has been given opportunities and looked really good all night.  It's been a really good game, this. Morata's missed a few sitters, though hasn't he?

Alonso scores! 

We have great Spanish defenders, can we get more of them?

[stokeriño]

I have so completely turned around on Marcos Alonso since my initial "what the fuck is this" reaction to spending £30m on him. His freekicks, his headers, his runs up the wing and, of course, his tendency to pop up in the middle of the box by surprise... Brilliant.

Well, the three points were fun to toy with for a little while.

FUCKING HELL MORATA, STOP DOING THAT

[Jimmy]

oooofffff proper game 

omg morata wtf 

chelsea hit the bar 

 

this is great

[Baddar]

What a game.

Morata's finishing has been shite, mind.

[stokeriño]

Well before the game I was pondering whether I thought 0-0 or 1-1 was more likely. That certainly had a lot more drama to it than I expected.

When Morata's finishing went to shit against Stoke I rather hoped that he was 'saving up' his goals for Arsenal. Nope.

Same, it looked such a bizarre move at first since I just remembered him being bang average at Watford but he's been superb for us.

Now if Morata could remember how to finish that'd be great 

Also, can we swap David Luiz for Bellerin so we can have more Spaniards and Arsenal apparently want him anyway?

[Kaney]

I don't want sideshow Bob, Jesus there's enough clowns in our defense as it is.

[Lineker]

Arsène Wenger unsurprised by ‘again a farcical decision on a penalty’

[stokeriño]

The irony being that Wenger seems to be morphing into Mourinho, when he talks like this.

You become the thing you hate the most.

[The Lusophone]

If only he held himself to the high standard he holds referees to, he'd have resigned about half a decade ago.

[The Lusophone]

United apparently 'fear for Jose's future' according to the papers, with the suggestion being he'll go at the end of the season. Can I be the first to say... please do?

[stokeriño]

Won't happen. Jose only leaves clubs in the autumn.  

[DavidMarrio]

It's only his 2nd season as well.

Honestly I used to like Wenger, but he does seem a lot more unbearable the last few seasons. I'm not sure if he's actually gotten worse or if it's my imagination.

[Lineker]

Wenger's brilliant :/

Eh, I still like him over Mou, but I feel like the loss of Fergie as a rival changed him for the worse.

He has as the pressure on him has increased and is only getting worse. Underperforming in the league again, five points off the CL places, behind Spurs, same old problems on the pitch, best player certainly leaving, second best player probably following him. I don't see how it will get better for him in the future.

And the constant bants about his weird jacket
