Try just stopping the page loading by hitting the cross next to the web address bar.  Sometimes takes a few tries.

Otherwise if you're on a PC you can tight click on the page, click 'inspect' from the menu that appears, click the settings wheel and scroll down and tick 'disable java script'  then refresh page.  It's easier than it sounds, I'm not tech wizz.

We should probably change the words of his song from Europa League to Champions League since that's obviously where we're going immediately.

I’m wondering if even he is a little surprised by how much he’s getting out of the same players that were 17th when he took over.

I wonder what impact the rest of the backroom staff are having on things? I know Pako Ayesteran was very highly rated when he was last working in england, but the focus has been more on Unai to date (probably justifiably, mind). Whatever they're doing, it's celarly working.

It's a huge amount of prep from the coaching team, with a bespoke game plan for every match.  For the first time in a long time we look very well coached.

But we're also having some luck.  I know people say you make your own luck, but players missing open goals etc is always helpful.  On another day the ref doesn't give the Chilwell foul, Souttar scores his open goal etc.

Not sure opposition players missing chances is luck, really? We miss a few ourselves, too.

That's odd. I wonder why I can see it.

It's nice to see good old-fashioned Brummie miseryarsedness keeping pace with our climb up the table.

[OCD]

We've definitely had some luck along the way but the more games we're able to control, the less reliant we become on it. We're on the way to joining the elite.

It Crniately is.

I think you make a very good point, Emery has built a very good team behind the scenes. There's a plan, there's detail, research and implementation.

When you compare to what we had under Gerrard and Bruce....... and to a lesser degree pretty much anyone else for a very long time before...

Anyone know if Unai's coat is Moncler, Canada Goose or other?

Hugo Boss i believe

[Hookeysmith]

That half-finished coat of magnificence.

Never mind the coat, look at the headgear.

Excellent spot Percy

Can someone tell me the lines to the Emery song
"we've got super Unai Emery, he knows exactly what we need.........?
