Whatever

This bloke is our team's talisman.

Runs through walls for us.

Looked to me like he went down a gear with about 30 minutes left to play.

I'm sore about their second goal, probably, but I felt that he could have made more of an effort tonight.

Some top drawer saves tonight

Leverkusen were good value for 2-0 unfortunately. Emerson and Paqueta are ****ing morons. If Pep wants him, see you later* Antonio did everything we asked of him, thought he had a good game. *I know it’s reactionary but they’ve both ****ed I us over for next week. I don't think Emerson deserved tha...

Proud and disappointed in equal measure, personally. Some of the older lot - Mike, Coufal and Fabianski - deserved more for their sterling efforts, than those late blows. I fear the second one might determine the eventual outcome, but at least we have Edson back for the second leg. The fact that we ...

COYI!

I am surprised that this is apparently the first reference on here to the Bayer part of their name.

Sure, but I am pretty sure, too, that they wouldn't get to 3rd or above in our league, hence a suggestion that they were marginally inferior to that.

I would equate them with Villa or Spurs

They are too good to go out there and think we need to / can play a more attacking game. I don't think, personally, that the victory at The Emirates proves 'the opposite' of my earlier contention. I recall, indeed, that Saka was almost incredibly profligate in that match and that Areola had a first...

I hope your prediction is accurate.

I just hope we learned a lesson or two about inviting pressure from an elite team, from Arsenal's recent visit. The writing was on the wall in that match, some time before the first goal in fact went in.

If we do nothing more than adopt a low block, I think we will get thrashed, personally.

I was at a 60th a couple of years back, everyone there bar me was Millwall. At the end of the night they all stood singing their song ‘let ‘em come’ and there’s me with a microphone belting out Bubbles. Not even a hint of grief, just a good laugh, as it should be :thup: :crest: They also used to si...

But you've got everything now.
