  1. yeah the media really need to stop with this "big 6" crap. it's the only thing that really bothers me. i don't mind not being talked about in the context of a title race because we're not in it. but chelsea have been shit for 2 seasons now. they don't deserve to be in the "big 6" group now
  2. are there still people that think we can get better?
  3. wanted to wait another week for haaland as didn't want to take a -4 but i have exactly the right money to downgrade saliba to schar and then upgrade archer to haaland (who is due to rise again tonight), giving me a front 3 of haaland, watkins and solanke...which isn't bad at all
  4. excellent. just needed a bit of fresh blood in the squad i feel. hopefully we see him saturday
  5. exactly can understand why they don't share every little bit of info they get
  6. so haaland doesn't start in interesting news, there's been a bit of controversy over the last 24 hours or so where a few content creators brought in walker then benched him last sparking rumours that they got wind of a leak that he's benched and didn't pass the news on. lo and behold, he's on the bench.
  7. some maybe. in my case i've been very much proven wrong with both luiz and bailey (i wrote off the pair of them) which is why i'm giving diaby time
  8. this is a bad take and one that results in legit racial stereotypes not taken seriously duran's bad attitude has been reported in the press on more than one occasion not to mention us seeing with our own eyes the arm waving, yellow cards, and close calls for sending offs
  9. because we've seen it from diaby a number of times already this season. and also because we've seen how emery can turn around the form of players. it wasn't long ago that the "like playing with 10 men" line was rolled out regularly when bailey was on the pitch so people have learned to cut players a bit of slack now
  10. Same. No one is paying that though.
  11. players dip in form. it wasn't long ago i was debating with my mates that if jack came back i wouldn't play him over JJ which sounds quite funny now based on his form there are a number of players out of form now, diaby being one of them, but he's getting the scapegoat treatment probably (rightly or wrongly) due to the money spent on him. if diaby was the free transfer and kamara was 50m then i suspect he would be getting the heavy criticism instead.
  12. exactly. it's not just diaby, or just luiz or kamara, or JJ, moreno, tielemans, cash etc. it's the fact all of the above and even others have all had a downturn in form at the same time. some are recovering from injuries to be fair but if they're fit to play i struggle to see that as an excuse unless they've been out for months and months.
  13. watkins captaincy not the worst in the end but how's your luck that the last kick of the game is his shot off target knocking down from 2 bonus to 1
  14. can single certain players out all you like (and i'm sure people will) but every single player bar ollie, bailey and arguably mcginn wouldn't score above a 4/10 tonight
  15. for all the talk about diaby he's been much worse
  16. i'm predicting haaland doesn't start so not bringing him in. i accept the risk he could come on and get a goal or 2 KDB might not start but if he does then he doesn't play more than 60 mins IMO watkins will play 90 mins almost guaranteed but much less of a guarantee of points i've gone risky on captaincy with watkins...ultimately the game is supposed to be fun and it would make a double celebration if he scores tonight! other possible captaincy options for me are walker or porro but those are more risky and could easily be 2 pointers
  17. i'm waiting another week for haaland. i'm concerned about his minutes and think enough people will do the same that it won't massively hurt rank if he bags a goal or 2
  18. email ticketsales@avfc.co.uk - normally a response within 24-48 hours. too late for today, but just for future reference
  19. thanks for your efforts @blunther . i fear they've set their stall out from the outset and won't budge but let's see. it's frustrating when fans can all see how things should work but the club can't!
  20. planning on bringing in KDB so he's a contender for me
