I'm still so pessimistic, lol. The Luton game was a reminder not to get excited until it's all done. I hope us and Brentford go up as 1st and 2nd, they are effectively only 5 points behind in theory with the better GD.

What’s the chances of Wigan winning any appeal against their 12 point deduction?

I was really pleased with the way we dealt with Traore. First half, he was doing OK against KT, but Kola was helping out a lot to keep him at bay, then when Arteta could see KT tiring he was quick enough to swap him for, AMN, who dealt with him well as he has the necessary pace and was well backed up by Auba doing his bit, leaving Kola to help reinforce the centre backs against the growing threat down the middle. Excellent game management from Arteta that.
Looked nothing like the tank destroyer he’s made out to be.
Like us mate. I still didnt think we have won the league with a 20+ point lead.
Leeds are up imo.
He had an easy shot to score in fairness...he just has no end product. That dink over your keeper isnt hard and he puts it over the bar.
In my opinion they havent got a chance. It would open up so many cans of worms.
Whats happened is truly disgraceful and anyone who isnt familiar with the story should read up on it.

True, but give Martinez credit there. His speed off the line to close him down panicked him and forced him to make a quick decision and he got it all wrong.
Hope Forest go up as well.
Apart from Leeds and Brentford I have no preference of who goes up, Forest play such defensive stuff it's an absolute bore at times. Fulham and WBA have so many good players yet aren't really impressing. I'd probably go WBA just as they have Pereira.
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Salah, Origi.
Subs: Adrian, Wijnaldum, Firmino, Henderson, Minamino, Shaqiri, Jones, Elliott, Williams.
Rotated it quite allot, tbh I'd of given Williams his full debut perfect time, league is won so no pressure for him either

any 1 else think that was a pen? lunges in doesn't get the ball and makes contact with the player also blocking them from retaining the ball.
A fair description of my wife.
Much like Everton and City fixtures before this, we could play for a million hours and not score.
There is absolutely no attacking flair whatsoever. Yawn.
So slow and predictable left to right and back again, we're only effective on the counter but that would require teams actively trying to attack us which is unlikely.

Doubling up on Salah plus the ineffective Origi means we have only Mane and he's having to drop deep to make anything happen - we have no attackers.
Midfield doesn't have the guile to play through Villa and constant misplaced passes (Robertson and Ox) are ruining any rhythm.
