"Went to our local toby carvery today the food is so lovely their it was delicious"

Get in the **** bin.

I'm confused. Are we back to being rattled again now?

Qualified for the playoff round, I should say

So slow as well. We had a good chance for a quick counter attack and we basically stopped and let them get everyone back into position. You can tell that we're already qualified.

Carbon copy of the game at Villa Park. Very little press from Mostar, happy to stick everyone behind the ball and frustrate us.

Surely the responsibility lies on the person who deems it necessary to put one down.

Very true. Though sometimes you have to endure the disapproving "huff" when the person behind you puts the divider down themselves.

Putting the dividers between shopping in shops.

You unpack your shopping, no one else is around, and a lady comes to put down her yoghurt at the very end of the conveyer belt. 

There is a good 15 inches between your shopping and the lady's yoghurt, and any human being with an IQ above 45 knows where one lot ends and another starts,  however unless she grabs that little plastic divider she will likely explode. She will stretch all the way above your shopping, just to get the little plastic thing. 

In the above described circumstances, I refuse to pass one over. 

Sure, they are useful when it's packed. But 90% of the time they are not, yet a British person who doesn't put a clear dividing line between two shops will likely go into some sort of a panic attack. 

I always find the expectation to say "thank you" when somebody puts the little plastic divider at the end of their shopping a bit odd.

Begs the question, who's responsibility is it to put the divider there? Does is signify the end of your shopping? Or the start of somebody else's?

Arsenal seem to have had a team full of fannies for years.

Can definitely see the tiredness creeping in, which is understandable. I'd get Diaby on for Bailey for starters as he looks uncomfortable.

Some of the tight passing that was so brilliant to watch against City just isn't there today. Arse winning the midfield battle at the minute. 

Giving the ball away far too easily at the minute. Need to get a sustained period of possession to try and settle it a bit 

We need to get a foot on the ball for a bit. Letting Arse dictate it a bit too much at the minute.

Piss off. Coming through SJM’s back

*insert Kenneth Williams gif*

Come on, Villa. Please, please score while we're on top. You just know that Pep is going to make the right adjustments at HT. We're battering them at the minute 

Bit of a funny one, this. Glad to have salvaged a point, especially considering how much Bournemouth were dominating the game and how they seem to be improving lately. The frustrating thing is that, yet again, we give away a stupid early goal that's completely avoidable and give the opposition something to at least hold onto, if not build upon.

It's slightly concerning how we seem completely incapable of keeping a clean sheet. It's fine when were banging in 3 or 4 at home, but in tight games away where you need to dig in a bit and grind it out, you can't be needing to score at least 2 every time to get the 3 points. It's a bit frustrating, as we got a *kind of* unexpected result at Spurs, so it would've been the icing on the cake to get a result here, especially with the 2 games we have coming up. It's likely that Spurs, Newcastle or United (possibly all 3) could overtake us.

All that said, it's hard to complain about the bigger picture. We're still in 4th, which is completely nuts. If we get anything at all out of City and Arsenal I'll be buzzing. I think it's a matter of getting through the Xmas period relatively unscathed and then kicking on afterwards.

Well hopefully this is our bad half.

Ref absolutely does not want to see Bournemouth down to 10 today 

This is all getting a bit silly.

Tbh, I think the only position that we REALLY need to strengthen in January is RB. I don't really like Konsa moving over that side; he needs to stay in the middle. If Cash is out, we just don't look comfortable down the right. Even with Cash available, we could still possibly upgrade the position, as much as I like him.
