Walks on water.

He is Lord, He is Lord
We are risen from the dead
And He is Lord
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Emery is Lord.

With arguably an inferior team, he finds a way. He is a genius. When we hit our next bad spell, which we will, we should remain supportive because it’s sooooo embarrassing that a top class manager gets stick. Who on earth is going to be better than this guy!

Picking Barkley as a 10 again, seemed odd at first. But he's looking sharp I have to say. Has shifted a few pounds too.

If we keep away from constant injuries we'll take some stopping.

Unai was spot on today and took the game away from them with subs whilst his his apprentice, Ireola lost the plot with his subs on the hour.

They should really be charging us at least 200 quid per home game. Can you really put a price on three points 36/57ths of the time?

I’ve put this here as to me this is Unai’s work. Apparently we’re the ninth best football team in the world:

There’s  no mention of Birmingham City in that ranking table. How can it have any credibility?
