    Personally, I'm giving the officials so much praise for the way this game has been officiated (and I say officials, rather than just Atkinson, because clearly Atkinson relied on his assistant for Cresswell's second yellow). Not that I appear to have the BT guys on my side.

    I hate to say it but West Ham winning is better for us on this occasion!

    Oh I don't mind Palace winning too much. Though it would be better for Saints if they draw, so I'm afraid your win will have to be the second favourite.

    Maybe, but I don't want to see them recover. Plus I always savour that dropped third point when other teams play each other.

    I'd like us to be 8th after tomorrow.

    Yes, I see that. However, even with a Palace draw, us winning well will still see that happen. It's just that personal preference I have. If other teams waste points and we don't...

    Looks as though you're going to get your wish anyway.

    Oh I agree every other match not involving us should ideally be a draw, and yes, if we win by 3 or more goals we should go 8th, but I just want it to be easy!

    More "speculation" (gossip) of Man Utd stepping up their pursuit of Griezmann from Atletico.

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/foot...-with-atletico-madrid-over-sensational-swoop/

    I actually have a bit of a soft spot for Atletico (maybe it's a red and white stripe thing), always play decent, attacking football and are a breath of fresh air from Real and Barcelona who seem to walk the league. IF Griezmann were to leave, please, anyone but Utd!

    Watching MOTD last night, I must say I was wondering who has kidnapped the real Stek and what they have done with him.

    The next foul he commits, no matter how small or soft, has to be a second yellow. But even that won't make up for the fact that he's still on the pitch at the moment.

    I like Wenger's answer when asked about the red card yesterday. He smiled and said he thought it was a dark yellow but perhaps not a red. :)

    Although they might not currently make up the bottom four, I'm struggling to see at this stage how the bottom three ultimately wont be made up of three out of Burnley, Hull, Boro and Sunderland. As expected eight games ago.

    Still think Swansea might get dragged into it.

    Reckon Hull & Burnley almost certainties. 1 more to join.
