Barcelona and Man City have gone to Celtic park have both failed to win relatively recently. With how fired up they'd be I'd rather we avoided it. Plus, I want to go somewhere like Gdansk, not Glasgow.

Madrid would be nice. And we owe them still

Here is a little bit from the article in the Athletic, just the bit I totally loved

(Rodgers was being interviewed by Stuart James)

 

There is a knock on the door.

“Yeah?” Rodgers shouts.

“Dennis,” he says, his voice softening when he sees Praet’s face.

“Later?” Praet asks.

“Yeah, OK. But come in a minute,” Rodgers says.

“You’ve met before?” Rodgers asks as Praet comes over to shake hands. The two of us mention the interview we did six weeks ago.

“Did you see his first pass in the game at the weekend?” Rodgers asks, his face beaming. “He comes into the game, and this is the best first touch of a game that anyone can have. Did you see the chance of [Ben] Chilwell where he hit the post? Dennis has just come on, he’s looking for the pass, and he just drills it right out to the other side. Ben takes a touch and should score.”

Rodgers motions with his hand to show how the ball — a raking 40-yard diagonal pass from a free-kick that was inch perfect — pinged off Praet’s right boot.

Praet laughs. “He [Chilwell] made a long run. I said, ‘OK!’”

The two agree to chat in a bit and Praet leaves the room. Rodgers was expecting the Belgium international to drop by and he goes on to explain that Gray, who also came off the bench at Selhurst Park and made a telling contribution with that assist for Vardy, will do the same at some point. Regular dialogue with all the squad, he says, is essential.

“I like to be open with my players and have that communication,” Rodgers says. “I think what’s so important with players is that you’re clear. Clarity and purpose, I’ve found that so, so important in my management career as I’ve gone along, so that players are stable in terms of where they’re at. And the only way you do that is through conversation.

“Silence is a death sentence for a player. They’re unsure of where they stand and that can be difficult for players. Now, sometimes you’ll tell players things that they don’t want to hear. But I always think you can tell them anything; it’s how you say it to them. And rather than not talk to them and expect them to understand, it’s still important, even if the team is doing really well, that players who maybe are on the outside understand that they are very much valued and respected in their work.”

I don't like being favourites for a game vs arsenal. It seems all wrong. Coupled with odd kickoff time that always seems to throw us and I just have a bad feeling about this. Mind you, I said the same thing before Southampton away... 

draw written all over it

We’ve played Atletico 6 times in European competition, well boring if we got them AGAIN 

Couldn't agree more,  seen us play abroad 5 times 2 of them against atletico never again please.

Top in the Uncle Jeff Coefficient League (compares results with the equivalent fixtures of last season)

 

https://www.thetotallyfootballshow.com/feature/the-uncle-jeff-coefficient-full-premier-league-edition-november-2019/

 

Spurs, Wolves and City trailing at the bottom. 

Not sure I agree with replacing 3 promoted with 3 relegated. They're totally different sides and play totally different football. At least with equivalent sides in the current division they'll play similar football. 

 

This is run on another site but take out the 3 promoted sides and Newcastle are top with Leicester second.

Incredible stuff. 

 

I'm going to go against the majority, who said this was one on Filbert Streets greatest games. 

 

For the most part, Arsenal were the better side and it was a privilege to witness probably the greatest Hatrick in Premier history. 

 

It was just a breathtaking last 10 minutes. 

 

I could well be shouted down for this though 😄😄

It was one of the greatest games at Filbert Street, for all the reasons you gave. A great Arsenal side, Bergkamp's hat trick, and a comeback and finale that epitomised the O'Neill era.

 

I remember Bergkamp's 2nd goal from my vantage point in the kop, seeing him free at the corner of our penalty area and shouting out he needed marking. Oh well!

100% correct but its the last, highly unexpected, 10 minutes after that makes it such an iconic game.

You've sort of answered your own question. Not all great games have to be back and forth 50/50 type games this game typified the best of Arsenal in the mid to late 90s skillful, incredible to watch and individually brilliant and the best of Leicester in the same period, gritty never say die, aggressive etc. We were second best admittedly but like we did so often in that era we found a way to get a result. What a game, what a atmosphere.
