    If you look at the players he had in that Leipzig squad, anything less than a top 4 finish would have been pretty scandalous.

    And if you look at the players in our squad anything other than bottom 3 would be a miracle

    I'd have ours over all of the following; Norwich/Watford/Brentford/Brighton/Burnley/Newcastle. I don't think Villa, Leeds or Wolves are substantially better either.

    You can get 80-1 if you fancy a flutter. Same as Joachim Low, Jose Enrique and Thierry Henry.

    "Paulo Fonseca is in advanced talks with Newcastle United after emerging as the leading contender to replace Steve Bruce, who departed St James’ Park by “mutual consent” on Wednesday morning."

    Can you imagine the meltdown on the Toon site if they announced Ralph as their new manager? :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Yep, those two 9-0 defeats have tarnished his legacy everywhere outside of Southampton.

    Yeah if you hear Ralph mentioned in general football boards and groups the general consensus of neutrals appears to be that he is utter turd.

    Fine with me, think we are recovering well from last season, long may we continue to go under the radar.

    Looking at this Villa performance, I’m wondering if Ings has got a relegation clause in his contract? :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    To be fair, I haven't seen Arsenal this good (for a sustained period) for a long time. But yeah, Villa haven't been great.

    Agreed, not sure what they all had for breakfast but it’s the most dynamic Arsenal side I’ve seen in years

    I do think we'll see the beginning of an Arsenal resurgence this season. I think Arteta has the makings of a top manager and they've got some great young players to build around. Saka, Smith-Rowe, Ramsdale, Tavares, White, Lokonga, Odegaard are only going to get better. They're certainly heading in the right direction.

    #WARCHEST2. Not looking too clever, are they.

    WARCHEST dipped, WARCHEST2 look crap. WARCHEST3 might get Eddie Howe.

    Maybe money is overrated!
