Spoilers if you watch the TV show 6 months from now btw.

Mad finish. 96th minute penalty given away by Wrexham. Keeper saves it.
-
Wrexham v Notts County has been a mental one so far. 3-2 to Wrexham with 12 minutes to go. Top of the table clash with only a few games left to play.

"Hey Mikel. Jason be TANDALL over, know what I'm saying?!" -
He pulled his arm away and caught the lad in the face. He didn't throw an elbow. Robertson is a pathetic little cunt for making such a big deal out of it.

Man City now bookie's favourites for the league. When you look at each of their run-ins, it's hard to disagree. This will absolutely kill Arsenal fans. I cannot wait. -
You wipe your bum with your bare hand.

Aye good shout. I did think about mentioning that in my initial post but, between you and me, I thought things were already complicated enough for some of the FUCKHEADS on here. Looking at the Liverpool v Arsenal match BTW. Arsenal 0.10xP, and they're now 12.8 ahead of their expected points. Would be an awful shame to see them regress to the mean between now and May.

Aye, there's no doubt Emery has improved them but fucking hell he was taking over from Steven Gerrard, of course he's improved them. But what they're doing at the minute isn't sustainable for them against even the poor sides they've been doing it against, never mind the better sides they've got left to play.

They might be finished. That's before January as well ffs. -
For those worrying about facing Nee Baals's Beige Brigade, I've looked at their last 7 games (where they've seemingly become world beaters) and our last 7 games. I've considered their xP (it's a thing, deal with it) compared to their actual points, and ours. And I've applied a colour scale so you can see at a glance how close the performances have actually been to the results. Ignore the figures in the "Diff" column that are greyed out - I've not included negative figures (where the club has got fewer xP than actual points) to avoid the negatives messing with the colour scale. First thing to point out is that Villa are running 6.5 points ahead of expectation over the last 7 games. Which is a canny bit and much higher than our 2.03, which basically all came from us mugging Brentford yesterday. Villa did the same against Chelsea - managing an xP of only 0.39 but running out 2-0 winners. Which btw, is the only time they played a "big" team in this recent run. Compare that with us picking up 2.91 xP against Man United - basically a MURDER of a team better than any they've played recently. In fact, all of our wins against everyone bar Brentford have been very convincing, as evidenced by the difference between xP and actual being really less than half a point for all of them. Anyway, hopefully you can see there's a lot more red on Villa's side than on ours. In other words, Villa's results have been a lot less convincing than ours when you look behind the scoreline, and a few of them could quite easily have gone the other way - i.e. their form isn't as good as it looks. Ours is. Which is why they're getting fucking LACED next Saturday. Get ready for ANOTHER relaxing win.

Enjoyed Moyes focusing on "two clean sheets in a week" in his post match interview.

If you're watching MOTD, have a look at Man United's second goal. The initial pass to Rashford - if that's not Man United, they're spending 10 minutes in the VAR portacabin drawing lines on that to try and prove it's offside. I think it probably was BTW. With Man United I don't even think it got a VAR check.
-
The good news from watching this Spurs v Brighton game is that Spurs are still shit. And given they're pretty much last man standing to deny us a CL spot, you've got to be happy with that. I'd be more worried if I was a Man United fan, with their fixture schedule, and their fraud of a manager who starts his 9-match April by playing Rashford 3 times in 6 days and then complains that the scheduling got him injured.

THE GRIP TIGHTENS! Bookies have us at 1/4.

And a nice long summer to think of more reasons why they're better off in the Championship anyway. Helmets.

The Wilson one was ridiculous too. Not clear and obvious, as evidenced by how long it took the silly cunt that was trying to find a way to rule it out on the telly. Howard Webb might be even worse at this than he was at refereeing. I would honestly give it to an intelligent ex player to run with powers to sack anyone that fucks up.

Hope it doesn't affect our run-in.
