I'm still wishful that there's another winger coming in. Diabate, Gray, and Ghezzal (and Kapustka) all can leave/go out on loan. But then, unless we're really going to play a midfield diamond, Perez, Albrighton, and Barnes (and Maddison or Ricardo at times) won't be enough as wingers.

No brainer. Silverware. And it comes with a Europe League (qualifiers) spot. A real question would be 3rd or FA Cup?

Sean thinks so. As we might be trying to sell Ghezzal the other way ... ... or maybe not

So... Jon is King-Beyond-the-Wall, right?

A woman who's village and people were raped and enslaved by the Dothraki and Khal Drogo, who she had no problem with when he said he'd have his people pillage and rape Westeros. A man of a city that Dany violently threatened when at the gates, saying when her dragons were fully grown she'd have them destroy it. She indiscriminately crucified slaver holders from a city who's governing body crucified slaves. Those she punished were not necessarily guilty of the crucifixions. "Who threaten uprising"? Really? She held no trial, had no proof, even saying it out loud that they might be innocent. Fair enough on her burning the Khal leaders. She burns a supply train, fine, but then burns the captured commander and his son because they won't call her queen /turn against Cercei? As with Varys, even if his crime (of "treason"? even though Jon is the rightful heir to her family) is worse, her choice of executing people with dragon-fire is pretty horrific. This was one of my favourite episodes in a long time. Arya's plot seemed a bit off though. Especially her getting on (death rides upon) a pale horse - should have been Jon, Davos, or Tyrion - unless Arya kills Dany, after killing the Night King, why not throw her into a plotline that doesn't involve her and have her end it, ugh.

17th for Points, but 15th for Points/Match (and not far from 10th) and 13th for Win%. (And 31st for Goal Difference, but that's partly because 17 of the clubs above have less than 300 games played. It really ought to have GD/Match too.)

Pretty much the entirety of the knock-out stage has been incredible.

Barca just didn't attack or create much at all? Some credit goes to Liverpool for controlling the game, but it felt like none of the Barca players really wanted it. Alba was no better than Chilwell, and I'd expect Ricardo and Albrighton to do better on the right side than whoever Barca had there. Hopefully Ajax can save us from Spurs and Liverpool.

A couple spoilers from the preview for episode 4:

Hope he gets more games this season.

Haven't seen the replay, but the rules are that it needs to be intentional/deliberate. VAR probably had the best view to determine that. Honestly though, when a "handball" is seen to give such a big advantage, deliberate or not, it's usually called as handball. Such a hard rule to determine, anywhere on the pitch. Any handball should just be called and given as an indirect free kick. (Unless it's the arm/hand is along the body or very clearly ball to hand.)

Hoping for the best. But also about to cry my eyes out if bad news.

Without Amartey... Ricardo or Albrighton at RWB please.

Are you? Are the majority in here? Watch the replay, the last angle, which is basically what the ref saw @ :48 https://streamable.com/8brqe Two opposing players go for the ball. Neither of their arms were really in an unnatural position. They are both attempting to head the ball. Ndidi's arm and hand goes across Holding's upper chest. (Could be seen as a foul but no-call probably best.) Holding's arm collides with Ndidi's head. (Could be seen as a penalty was it not for the previous arm from Ndidi, so again no-call probably best.) Holding's arm is redirected and Ndidi follows through a "heading" motion. (It's not really clear if Holding's arm simply bounced or was redirected by the attempted header, but regardless...) Holding's hand makes contact with the ball, but at this point, "the movement of the hand towards the ball" is in no way deliberate. (So again, no-call probably best.) So explain how VAR would have given a penalty.

The amount of people here who don't know the rules or are so biased that they think VAR would have given a penalty... Watch the replay and ignore who the players are and what teams they play for. Two opposing players go for the ball, and one player hits the other's arm into the ball. The players' arms were not in unnatural positions, and the player did not deliberately make contact with the ball with his hand.

OUT please

So if an Arsenal player pushes a Leicester player's arm into the ball, that's a handball against us? Ok.

So replays.. not a handball - Ndidi heads his arm into it.

Clearly got a decent goal-scoring bonus in his new contract.

They're clueless about this sort of thing usually.
