Gunners let that slip. Everton are rubbish lately but will take heart from that result.

and I scored 12.50 from William hill. Everton were5:2 at home. Thought it worth a punt so put a fiver. Imagine my surprise after gunners went up for Everton to come back.

We are absolutely rubbish. The 10 game run as i feared only papered over the cracks. I was quietly optimistic after the Leicester game as i didn't believe that we were truly Top 4 material and as soon as it was time to prove it and make it ours we failed against Utd and now this game has shown us up once more. We are going to get HAMMERED this wkn. Our strikers can't buy a goal, 7 games without any striker scoring 🤬 Watch, it won't get better under Arteta. I'm sticking by my belief that Arteta should have cut his teeth at a lower team. Get relegated, get promoted and then maybe after a few seasons attempt a top 6 team. There are more real world lessons to learn from relegation and promotion than will ever be learnt from being an understudy to Pep. Arteta himself admitted he is under qualified when he said he wants Wenger to come in as a consultant. I see us battling for 10th place this year.

I don’t share your optimism for this weekend…think we going to face a rebound team hungry to restore dignity and pride.

and sadly, no 3 pm game is televised in the uK. So I can’t even watch it

It’s quite concerning really...

Conte is livid in his pre match presser, and understandably so. Imagine how scary it is for an Italian, coaching players in close proximity during the morning sessions, and finding out after the session that a, or more, players has tested positive.... 😳

So after that, how do you leave the club and go home to your families?! It’s a problem... especially given what was learned just last year, as well as the fact the countries have/had decided to implement a blanket international travel ban! Boggles the mind...

Read that all that tested positive were double vaxxed too. Only way forward is to test all the time I spose. 
 

but spurs need that europa coin so imperative the game is postponed, if not they must field a team. They already a game behind in premiership so just compounds the issue.

Big issue for Spurs at the minute is that UEFA rules don’t allow postponement, whereas Premier League does.

So the league game on Sunday can be postponed, but not the Euro game, which is a must-win for qualification...

spurs kicked out of europa. Maybe conference as they finished 3rd but FIFA still to decide what’s going to happen.

Actually I got a lil confused. That was the conference league. Confusing all these Europe competitions.

I could gladly lose my ten bucks bet if the Che-Leeds game finishes right now... lol

Edit: Update with score at 2-2 and then it turns sour... lol

Vintage Moanrinho, in just four successive days, he’s blamed a referee, injuries, the media, his own players, and even fate.  Next he’ll be blaming spectators…  ah, nevermind.
