[SilentWitness]

Big game for us today. Can't afford to lose.

 

[Forest Red]

Big game for us today. Can't afford to lose.

Neither can we - Marikanis just sent over his periodic “performances need to improve or else” warning.

[Woodzy]

I still think the xG stat (and therefor expected points) is feckin bollocks.

 

[Leftback99]

I still think the xG stat (and therefor expected points) is feckin bollocks.

Why?

 

[Catt]

Burnly score after 18 secs!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Burnley lead Sheffield United. Jay Rodriguez.

 

[DJ_21]

Burnley may actually get a win here since there playing a worse team than them

 

[Catt]

Arsenal 1-0

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Arsenal lead. Saka.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Useless defending from Wolves

 

[ZainCRse7en]

Why is it everytime I watch Arsenal, the opposition defending is comically bad while those same teams switch to defending masterclass whenever against us?

 

[GaryLifo]

Arsenal playing well and have the bonus that teams go there now not expecting anything

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Arsenal two ahead. Odegaard.

 

[mu4c_20le]

2-0 Odegaard

 

[Samid]

We can only dream of attacking like that.

 

[Bale Bale Bale]

Oh dear Gawd.

 

[Ole'sgunnarwin]

Arsenal looks phenomenal to be fair. That's some football.

 

[Leftback99]

Arsenal are a quality side these days.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Too easy for Arsenal.

 

[acnumber9]

Got to give it to them, Arsenal are very good.

 

[awop]

Funny how Odegaard finds himself alone in the exact same spot time and time again

 

[the_cliff]

If Jesus could just finish he'd be in the balon do'r conversation. What a player.

 

[DJ_21]

Arsenal are looking strong. Can they go 1 step further and win it this year… time will tell

 

[mitchmouse]

why the hell have 5Live decided the Arsenal game was worth of commentary - so obviously going to be one-sided - the burnley game is a much more important fixture

 

[Il Prete Rosso]

Funny how Odegaard finds himself alone in the exact same spot time and time again

It's actually a system of knowing when to be stationary and knowing when to move.

 

[acnumber9]

Less people will listen.

 

[Gene Loblaw]

what a sexy goal from Arsenal

 

[mu4c_20le]

Wolves keeper injured, on comes bargain bin Pickford

 

[Woodzy]

Why?

Because points are points. Nothing else has any relevance in terms of results.

 

[mitchmouse]

Less people will listen.

I'm not so sure

 

[Leftback99]

Because points are points. Nothing else has any relevance in terms of results.

So the current points after 13 games is the only way of assessing who are the best performing sides in your view?

 

[Jordan_mufc]

Crazy to see how much better Arsenal are than us OOP. They don't give the opposition a sniff

 

[Utd heap]

Crazy to see how much better Arsenal are than us OOP. They don't give the opposition a sniff

Utd haven't had a full side out once this season.

 

[ZainCRse7en]

Utd haven't had a full side out once this season.

This. They are incredibly overrated. We swept them aside at ease in OT last season.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Utd haven't had a full side out once this season.

I think we actually did have, ironically, when the side that Arsenal are currently tearing a new one ran rings around us on opening day.

 

[Utd heap]

I think we actually did have, ironically, when the side that Arsenal are currently tearing a new one ran rings around us on opening day.

You can have that one, but no Holjund and opening days are notoriously all over the place - but yeh, have it

 

[Leftback99]

Crazy to see how much better Arsenal are than us OOP. They don't give the opposition a sniff

Playing with a midfield has its benefits.

 

[FootyGirl88]

I think we actually did have, ironically, when the side that Arsenal are currently tearing a new one ran rings around us on opening day.

Shaw and Varane were out
