We are a zillion miles away from spuds, they look excellent, very well organised and look to have several match winners.

We've been a zillion miles away from them for a while now mate, people talk about signings and money but they haven't bought anyone and how much has Poch spent in his 3 seasons?
Ok I know people will immediately go on the defensive and demand to know WHAT HAVE THEY WON?
But even though neither Poch or Klopp have won anything they have turned 2 failing big clubs around quickly and brilliantly and if Dick can match them both invented his first 2 seasons I won't be complaining because they may not have won anything but they are always competive whether it's home or away v City Chelsea or Untied.

No argument from me, Lucas Moura was class. Quality 3rd goal. One down side is that disaster waiting to happen Serge Aurier, jeez he is bad.

Hopefully it won’t be the end of Mourinho because he is comedy gold.

I still can’t get my head around Pogba, I don’t know how many games I’ve watched him play but I’ve yet to see what the fuss was about him. Utter pony.

I agree Stoner, I’ve never rated Pogba, the PL is too quick for him.

They have to keep maureen, please. he's got to stop for a couple of seasons, i hope. Lol
Maureen is the new wenger.

if emery manages to improve us as much as poch and klopp have over 3 or 4 years, but doesn't win any thing do you think he will get as much appreciation as they have or will our fans demand more having had recent FA cup success under wenger?

It is early days and CL and International football can have a massive effect on the clubs involved, stretching their squads to the limit.
My initial thoughts are that Man City and Liverpool look very strong, whilst the Toot's squad lacks the same depth as their's.
Man U are in disarray.
Chelsea and Arsenal have new managers, but Chelsea have settled in better and have a stronger squad.

So:
PL: Liverpool or Man City
Top four, in order of favourites: Toot, Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal
Outsiders: Everton.

I think it will be a split Eden mate, I think most would simply enjoy and appreciate being involved again and going head to head with city Liverpool Spurs Chelsea United on as equals even if we had to accept coming top was tougher than ever, getting to a champions league final and beating quality opposition along the way for most would be a welcome step forward.
Of course there would be the Arsene fans who would convienttly forget we went 10 years with no trophy under Arsene and who would harp on about 3/ 4 fa cup wins while dismissing the regular humiliations at Swansea Southampton not the mention City Utd Liverpool Chelsea as one offs.
Personally I'd swap our last 4 seasons and 3 fa cup wins for Liverpools last 4 seasons and 3 cup final defeats to be where they are now.
For me it's about competing on a week to week basis not simply getting it together for a cup run while sitting on the outside looking in for the rest of the season.

I found it so puzzling, that we were consistently good in the FA cup, but our league form kept diminishing. Winning 3 out of 4, something was right with our attitude when playing in the FA Cup, why was it so different to when we played in the league?

28 Aug 2018 10:43:41
There is a reason why a team can't challenge in the league, the same applies for, why a team can't win trophies. The coaches job is to sort that out. But first and foremost we must be made competative again. If that happens, our coach has won trophies so we have to trust he can work that out as well.

Eden getting a good draw helps but getting up for one game is easier than getting up for every week and everything that is thrown at you by the premier league. Cup games are also about attacking end to end affairs, our lot mostly had no problem with the attacking side, it was the defending and the daily grind of the prem. But saying all that, we did go ten years without a sniff and never won the Worthington mug or carriboo cup thingy.

28 Aug 2018 12:26:21
We did get some good draws along the way no question, the first win we got home draws all the way to the sf and the last win included getting both Sutton and Lincoln on the way to the sf but we did beat Chelsea and City too which to me showed the players were better than they showed most of the time but only if the mood suited them, they played for themselves not the club in my opinion.
