Yeah we owe them one. Not the worst draw - will give an indication of how we'd go on with this squad if we were promoted. The Nobbers got the draw I wanted, home against Wycombe.

If it's any consolation, think he'll always be a nearly man. Look at Slot who's come in first season and is romping away with the League. Havertz cost Arsenal the game today and they won't win the major prizes with him up front. It's incomprehensible to me why Arteta has persevered with him for so long, it's not like they couldn't afford to bring a top striker in.

Personally I wouldn't want Bamford or Wallace at all. As Bamford would be very expensive I'd concede that showed ambition albeit completely misguided imo. Wallace as a main signing I'd say would be very unambitious. As a straight swap for Sigurdsson to add squad depth I'd be OK with it however. Brereton I'd be OK with and I'd say it was a fairly ambitious move. All irrelevant until we land any of them though.

When people criticise those potential signings the defence is, it's only media speculation, they might not be the real targets at all. Same thing applies to your reverse argument. Need to see if any of them land before you can compliment the Club on being ambitious.

Very harsh penalty. The Arsenal player deserved to miss after that ridiculous run up. Sterling has started to fancy it since Man Ure went down to 10.

Hojlund knew exactly what he was doing there with the elbow. Never been a Sterling fan anyhow but good god what's happened to him.

And right on cue the horrible little **** scores. Shame he didn't get a 2nd yellow for kicking the advertising hoarding over.

I was reading that Wharton originally got injured at the Euros. Might be part of the reason why he didnt get a single minute. He's never been right since worryingly.

Take no notice of them.

I get the gimmick is " no red" but why can't they have black numbers on the back of the Arsenal shirts? The numbers are completely illegible and they look like they're playing in white T shirts.

Newcastle 0 Bromley 1

Yeah, that'll stop it. What a load of nonsense. (The white shirt not the Community work)

Is he the guy that should have had 2 yellows at Liverpool?

We'll know for sure by Feb 3rd.

It was a free kick but so was the one at the other end so if he gives the first one it's probably still 0-0.

They didn't deserve an own goal. At least the Spurs fans had the good grace not to really celebrate it.

Agree to disagree - you could have said that about the whole team at the time.

I felt exactly the same way as you do about Lucash but back then we were an established PL Club, he'd been made Captain and he would no doubt have been offered a reasonably competitive PL wage to stay so I viewed that as a purely sideways move apart from the money aspect. BBD not the same imo. He got a move to a team in a higher League. They're professional footballers not supporters of the Club like you and I.

That's a few million they've been deprived of due to the change in the rules.

Really enjoyable 90 mins. Tamworth heartbreakingly close to nicking it right at the death.

Yeah it's not that, it's so the minnows get their chance of extra dosh at Old Trafford etc.

We don't know what the Club were offering him to stay - probably not very much - and I didn't think he downed tools any more or less than anyone else in that season's version of the 2nd half death spiral. I don't bear any ill will towards him at all.

Class. Lol. The news has now broken elsewhere tbf.

Blimey.......... I can't bring myself to say I agree with Waggott over Eustace.

Hope Tamworth can hang on until 90 minutes. Would be another little feather in their cap. If you are going to scrap replays (which I vehemently disagree with) you might as well go straight to penalties without the need for extra time as well. Again the extra period weighs in favour of the professional side you'd have thought.
