We are not doing fine, that is an enormous stretch. 

Ollie one goal in nine. 

One win in 5 all comps

No goals scored last two

Failed to beat sheff utd, man u after being two up, scraped past burnley, failed to beat everton. 

Look at it this way, when Spurs hit their slump they lost 5 in a row where as Unai has us playing through our bad form and still picking up points. At some point it will start clicking again.

Best not to let yourself get too disheartened by this sort of thing

That's good of course, but the results we've picked up since Arsenal won't be enough to get us Champions League.

We need to lift it.

This is true

It comes down to whether you believe that our current form is simply a dip brought on by tiredness and missing players and we've done well to get as many points as we did. Or that it's a sign of teams finding a way to prevent us from playing as we were doing. Or a bit of both.

Seems pointless worrying about it so I'm choosing to believe Newcastle is going to be the start of a ten game winning run

West Ham getting uncomfortably close

Yep, that's got me uncomfortable 

Wasn't expecting Palace to do anything much today, they look properly poor. They should be looking to get Potter in.

Not to be overly negative, but WH has played one less game. If they beat SheffU they're only six points, two wins, behind us. And in pretty good form.

Whilst that is true, they are currently playing as well as they have all season and we are playing as 'poorly' as we have all season, to catch us that will have to remain the case.

For those that are more politically savvy than I, and most who post here are, if the government lose the vote on Rwanda tomorrow would that be the end of Sunak? With all the Tory (extreme) right wing in favour of more Draconian amendments, and the resignations today, is this something that really could happen?

I read in the guardian that it's a possibility, but I think that's more in hope than actuality.

I suspect the right of the party will let Sunak stumble on and take the hit at the next election. Then they will swing the party to the far right of their membership once in opposition

That would suit Newcastle

Just imagine that sack of shit turning up and getting the team playing the most boring, moribund football known to man.

I would actually feel sorry for the Newcastle fans

I don't watch it myself but I enjoy just how much the very existence of Mrs Brown's Boys pisses people off

How did that take so long?

Does anyone actually celebrate when the ball goes in any more?

Langlet hasn’t really put a foot wrong in Pau’s absence.

He hasn't and it's no slight on him as a player but so many of our line breaking attacks are started by Pau. Lenglet has been solid but he's not got the same skill set

No Pau makes me sad

That is nice and everything but right back and DM are needed.

without it there will be a downturn in form in the second half of the season, I’m sure of it

I'm sure everyone agrees that those two positions need upgrading but if we can't do it because of FFP, which certainly seems to be the reason, there is no point in getting frustrated by it

I'm sure, once Ezri decides to step down into a mid table team, both will stand a chance. They might have to wait a few years yet though.

Good question … I’ll see if I can dig them out by googling that for you 

Thanks sweet pea.. I'd do it myself but, you know, cba

The VT way … He’s been a massive disappointment for £33-38mill 9 goals and 9 assists in 78 games for us is a poor return imo. An expensive bench warmer at best when fit. 

Out of interest what are his stats for just Emery?

Nice finish

Nunez is dog shit

Can nobody in the final third play a **** pass!!!

Let's hope not, a draw would be a top result 

The worst result would be a draw. Hopefully win it, but lose it trying if necessary 

Zzzzzzzzzz

The romance of the cup

All of McGinn, Konsa, Luiz and Ollie could do with a rest so I would leave them all out

it does seem like an opportunity missed to me, I wouldnt say im gutted though

He always looked like a little boy lost when I saw him for Chelsea. He might fly when he comes back but I wouldn't be surprised to see him do little of note

Agree with every word.

Taxi for Heck. Enough.

In years to come we will look back at the season we had three Club crests.

It's going to make the anniversary shirts they bring out every few years to celebrate winning the league look very odd
