One team will work out how to stop them scoring from corners, and then everyone will do it.
17th in the league table from goals scored in open play. Even George Graham would wince at that.

That can't be real. Absolutely astonishing.

Real.

Ah so it's 17th for percentage of goals scored from open play, rather than total number. Still pretty mental.

But it's literally no different to those xG twats on Twitter who insist that Villa shouldn't be third because goals from twenty yards are harder to score than goals from two yards.

But it does indicate a Pulisesque style of football perhaps.. or at least that should be thrown at them to wind them up

Can you just imagine what a piece of piss it would have been to win the league if we still had our key 3 midfielders.

Goddamn Monchi, Martínez and Ramsey. We'd be winning the league were it not for the disruption they caused.

They mentioned that league standing on the Monday Night Club. They also said we'd be top if you disregarded the first 2 games of the season (I know).

Given how we tend to start the season, I'm in favour of that becoming a rule-change.

This season, I wouldn't be averse to them disregarding the last two fixtures as well.

I mean, it's not that I think it's unsustianable, they're welcome to their MONball with A-Levels. Ugly as sin, though.

This week? I’ve just skipped through it and I only heard bits about Arsenal, Mna Utd, Liverpool and hand-ball.

Tell that to the pundits. And the public.

It's nice that the Supercomputer rates Lindelof and Leon more than Guehi and Semenyo.

Arsenal are the least likely to win it.

Been saying it for ages.

Now they've got 1 win in 4 games.

Trust me in this one.

When am I ever wrong?

Please believe me.
