Arsenal fans desperately rewatching the game to see if anyone kicked the ball away and didn’t get booked

With Rodri we'd have absolutely pissed it this year.

I bet the cheating Arsenal cunts weren't going down with fake cramp injuries today. Well done the Toon.

There were many on here saying a point away at Newcastle was a poor result. It certainly wasn't, they are a decent team and they can take points off anybody in this league, we squeaked past them in the last minute to win last year. The same is true for Chelsea, Spurs, Villa and Brighton.

So far, versus the equivalent fixture last season:
Chelsea (A) +2 points
Ipswich (H) N/A
West Ham (A) Same
Brentford (H) Same
Arsenal (H) Same
Newcastle (A) -2 points
Fulham (H) Same
Wolves (A) +3 points
Southampton (H) N/A

Given we beat all the relegated teams home and away last season, that means we are 3 points better off overall on the equivalent fixture set last year. Which given the squad problems is brilliant.

We beat Bournemouth away last year, so if we want to continue this trend which will get us past 90 points come the end of the season, then we need a win today.

If chelsea win tomorrow they are only 3 behind us. Could be a 4 horse race.

Who can keep a fit enough squad long enough.

Our squad isn't big enough to cope with the injuries we have.

Looking at City, Arsenal and Liverpool so far this season, I can see Forest doing a Leicester.

The three favourites have looked distinctly average so far, I’m not impressed with anyone.

We look as poor as we did in Pellegrini’s last two seasons/Pep’s first season.

Long way to go. Bobb could be an important player second hal of season. Need to get Foden firing too
