Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[ToffeeTim]

They were forced to as well. Could be a similar situation here in the Summer.

They had like a full team of players who were out of contract as well. They just let them all go.

We'll probably hand Delph and Kenny new deals

Congratulations @Alan Whittle . Great performance mate.

Arsenal lose 0-3 despite 68% possession, more shots, more touches in the opposite area.

Poor Arteta - once Everton has touched you..

Eight starters tonight were here last season.

 

[Ivo]

He’s the big name signing, in hindsight, that we should have got years ago..

Instead we went for iwobi.

Different price of course, but we do spend upper middle money on dross instead of upper money on quality.

I don't think it was a match where you have to panic based on it. The LB who normally doesn't play was awful on both the goals in the first half. They'll be fine.

Zaha would have been just as bad a signing but we'd have spent twice as much.

Wilf is a good solid attacker but we don't need to be spending 50m on those when they're 27.

Yep, although easy to say with hindsight

Considering how much we wasted, an extra 10 or 20m to get that deal done would have actually been better than all the money we've spent since trying to find someone else

But equally there were plenty of other, cheaper options, and we didn't need to get Iwobi instead.

Mate, I am not worried about Arsenal. Feel sorry for Arteta, but sleepless worrying about EFC

 

[Yid4life]

Lovely stuff.

 

[Muggins]

Lovely stuff.

Fair play to palace.

Look at their line up, then look at ours.

Tells you everything. Names mean nothing, it’s talent and commitment.

Hope you’re all good mate.

 

[Bluerover]

Lovely stuff.

Now now... schadenfreude!

 

[Alan Whittle]

Lovely stuff.

South London 3 North London 0
.....again.

The praise Arteta has been getting is way over board

It is and it isn't.

On one hand he took over a bit of a mess and has really turned it around. They'll be back in Europe and deserve to be.

On the other hand they're in the mythical six and so they should be where they are now. He's not gone above expectations yet, they're comfortably behind the top 3, Spurs under Conte will be better than them too and they're hanging around with West Ham which shouldn't happen.
