Bizarre decision. And wrong.

I'm not sure he has an awfully big say in who we buy.I still don't understand after all of the purchases that we made in January, why Potter didn't try and buy Trossard,
Not one of Potter's substitutions was positive - all they did was hand the initiative and momentum to Everton. Just as well they equalised so late otherwise I suspect we'd have lost the match.Sean Dyche, he does what he does so well, but Chelsea should have had the match sewn up before the final equalizer.
Me neither, but you'd like to think a recommendation might be given a punt.I'm not sure he has an awfully big say in who we buy.
Given two of our best players are City loanees - so cup tied - I fear you’re probably right.As for Man City, a bye to the final after what they did to Burnley, because as good a match the Sheff United vs Blackburn was, City's second string will breeze past them in the semi.
Agree.Was good to see a ref not accept dissent at Old Trafford yesterday. I know the bandwagon will be UTD favouritism etc, but in that manic moment the ref did the right thing, on all three occasions. I hope he is supported for doing so.
The international break is at a bad time for City, who have suddenly hit a two-game streak of heavy goal scoring. As I said after Leipzig, if you feed Haaland, he is deadly, and the last two opponents have failed to stop the supply in the way that some PL teams have been able to. Foden's return to form has been key because KDB has been too depended upon, and he has not been at his best, especially when called upon several times a week.
The game against Burnley was something we have seen many times - they pressed like crazy for half an hour, shutting down passing lanes and preventing any build-up in our play. As energy levels dipped, City took them apart and in Haaland and Alvarez, we have two goalscorers who can punish anyone. Alvarez now has 12 goals and 5 assists in 15 starts and is a big talent, it's just that he has been overshadowed by Erling. I am glad that he has just signed an extension because his own performances have been excellent in his first English season.
I think this is Arsenal's season, as their consistency has been phenomenal, but the business end of the season can see many twists and turns. If City don't win the league then for Zin, Jesus, and Arteta, I hope they do.
