Arteta's long suffering jellied eels v Eddie's Stottie fuelled northern raiders (- Gemmill + Trips, massive net gain tbh)

Except for a few shaky moments, Burn was quality up against Saka tonight. Willock worked his balls off to stop Odegaard and Trippier was his usual imperious self against Martinelli. Hopefully, by the time Palace rolls around, Isak is back and we’ve got a new central midfielder to ease some of the pressure and game time on this bunch. 

Willock, Longy and Bruno v Odegaard was great. He's been their main playmaker this season.

Any half-decent academy would have a young prospect more deserving of the minutes than Murphy atm. Another fine example of the mess Ashley left behind

Tbf, games like tonight make you see why Willock is/was highly rated. Was great on the break as well and only stopped working when his legs literally gave out

Ease up on Dougle man Craig- the poor lad got home from work tonight to find a note saying

Poor lad is starving

They had a lot of posession and we were hanging on a bit of course but there were no really clear cut chances were there? The save from Pope with his leg perhaps?

 

This is bordering on the absurd now. Top 4 challenge is one thing, we've just gone away to the current runaway league leaders and gotten completely under their skin. The effort from the lads was immense again. 

[ewerk 30569]

Got to agree with Paul Merson for once but that is definitely a penalty against Dan Burn.

[Craig 6682]

100% should have been a penalty against Burn

Makes up for getting shafted against Liverpool 

[Ayatollah Hermione 13861]

Now they just have to ignore a few more to make up for that Willock decision against Palace

Xg for Arse 1.13 for us 1.08. 

 

The way they are going on on Sky you'd think we'd escaped by the skin of our teeth

As you'd imagine, the match thread on readytogroom is quite a read

WHOA WTF IS GOING ON HERE THEN?!

[Kid Dynamite 7025]

It's getting to the point where I'll be disappointed if we don't finish in the top 4  

 

If Spurs and Man U win their game in hand we are only 2points off slipping to 5th. Could do with putting a couple of wins together against the shite coming up

6* (* SIX) consecutive clean sheets!!!! 

what the fuck has happened to Newcastle United? 

Had we not let a last minute consolation in at Southampton it’d have been 8 games.

In the earlier contact on Burn there was a similar amount of shirt pulling, it's just more obvious when it's Burn doing the pulling as opposed to being pulled.

 

 

[wykikitoon 20117]

I agree it was a pen. But the top clubs always say it evens itself out the end if the season. But we all know that's fucking horse shit.

I've always said look at GD for a guide to how good a side is. Compare ours with theirs (ManU, Spurs). I'll be gutted if we don't get 4th now. Not only tonight did we end Arsenal's 100% at the Emirates, we are the only team they haven't scored against as well. The story of NUFC so far this year is our defence is the best any of us have ever seen.

How little attention has Botman gotten from the media btw? If VVD had been putting in these performances they'd be wanking themselves silly. Young defender with zero Premier league experience comes in and makes everything look so easy. He's an absolute gem.
