Cptn Hooch

He seems to keep picking up wee niggles so we've been trying to wrap him in cotton wool a bit. Funny you say that though as he came off the bench a few weeks ago and the general consensus from the opposition fans was that he looked like a competition winner

I think the issue with Robinson was down to wages. His agent apparently got in his ear that Stevie Lawson was earning more than him while not playing. Robinson didn't like that and his attitude changed overnight from what I've heard. I'm not even sure who would take a penalty for us this season. Muirhead and May would probably be the prime candidates.

How's the pitch at Firhill these days? We still don't have Donnellan back after he got injured in the cup game there last season

I'm not sure I've read a post today that I agree with more

he certainly didn't show any ill effects when he joined us

The new Bond villains leave a lot to be desired

Wonder who has the shortest commute in the game. Perhaps a Thistle player lives in the flats behind the stadium or a Luton player opens his back door to Kenilworth Road's pitch

I was only having a laugh about the Neville comment...only because it was almost word for word what he said. The barge is a strange call...he's got every right to chase the ball down and the arsenal player blocks his route on purpose...seems to be more and more prevalent these days. Noticed Calafiori doing it at attacking corners to take gvardiol out of the equation. When Italian sides shithouse when protecting a lead, it's beautiful, artistic, creative....like Van Gogh or Monet. What arsenal did today was the equivalent of Tracey Emin putting her manky bed on display and calling it art

Are you trying to pass Gary Neville's "insight" off as your own?

He'll have opted for Walker due to his pace up against Martinelli/saka. Lewis is turning into a fantastic player but he's not as fast as walker

No you're correct, it's top level football and better refereeing is a must. Under 10s probably wouldn't be as able to exploit that chance as a top level side like arsenal

In fairness, the ref pulls walker over to talk to him which meant he was out of position. That's exactly where the free kick goes (from 10-15 yards further forward than where the foul was). City likely don't lose that goal if the ref doesn't pull walker over. I can see why they weren't happy

The fights over

Arguably a red card there as he palms the ball away from a Brentford player, denying a goalscoring opportunity.... absolutely baffling that nothing was given

happens when your big time Seriously though, I think it's something to do with our historic final positions during our time in the prem but I could be wrong
