He would play loads.

Great news. Now sack off AFCON.

I'm not going to apologies to him.

Another great goal

Still irritating we were a 50/50 shot at Barca's side of the draw.

Villa might crack here.

We probably should have bought him.

What a goal.

We should be selling them.

The venom dripping off these words.

Why can't it mean that? Certainly the Europe point. That's better isn't it? Anyway, I only tried to interject with an interlude on how pointless this all is because no one can know.

This really is going around in circles now surely? The argument is that resting players in easier league games would not have prevented us winning those games because Eliott and Endo etc are good players and would have left Grav and Mo etc fresher for those big games which we subsequently didn't win. You plainly don't agree with that but that is the contention. I've said this is all hypothetical and we can't be sure but you said we can be sure and you're right.

How does saying he could possibly have done better equate to demanding or expecting multiple trophies? Could just mean if he had rested a few here and there, we might have had a bit more about us when the PSG and Newcastle games came around. Its all hypothetical and no-one can be sure. All we know is he has done exceptionally well and we should all be delighted if and when we win the league and wait with interest to see how he does with more of his own players.

Mikel Arteta confirms Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice will be assessed ahead of the Brentford game. 'I think Dec had an issue with his foot. I don't know if it was a tackle or what it was... 'And Bukayo was after he got tackled on the foul. I think he had a knock, and he had to go [off].' https://x.com/BenDinnery/status/1909965333953212868?t=Nh8Ya5UC2EWFHZHzy6Iaqg&s=19 Laying the groundwork already.

So its; 1. Slot has us in a sensational position that no one would have expected and will very likely win the league. Everything he has done is therefore justified and if he had done things differently, we probably wouldn't be where we are now. v 2. Slot's done great and we're all over the moon but maybe we could have done even better if he had played a few squad players that we've seen do well before in order to rest some of our stars who appear to be tiring as the season ends. Pretty much impossible to work out who's right really. Maybe we need some sort of super computer AI thing that could put Elliott and Endo in for Mo and Grav for a few league games and play the season 10 million times over.

Oh yeah I'm not saying anything other than I'll look out for and enjoy dropped any points from them. I think there's been a sense of 'caring about Arsenal is beneath us' going around which I find surprising as I just want it won!

You've literally just said why last weekend was fine despite us losing. I want the league won as quickly and painlessly as possible and I'll take whatever combination of results achieves that. Other than hoping we win it by playing, preferably at home, that's the default position isn't it? We've always wanted our closest rivals to drop points?

Which is exactly why anyone saying 'I don't care what Arsenal do, it's all about us' are mad.

Either they go through and rest players in the league or Real come from the dead and Arsenal are crushed and lay down and die for the rest of the season. Either way, we win.

It's a strange route to go down though isn't it? No one questions anyone criticising Gareth Southgate for example but I'm fairly sure he knows more about football than most of you.

Ultimately it's more likely to help us, if it makes any difference at all.

Well they can start winning more, that's all I meant.
