    Amazing how in a game like this, there is still zero atmosphere at the Emirates. I have no idea why this game is so cagey?

    He's got talent but I've no idea why he's playing centre forward when he's got no aptitude for it.

    Much as Arteta irritates the fuck out of me, I’m enjoying this Arsenal demolition of City rather more than I should. Certainly opened up in the second half.

    Newcastle, City, Bournemouth and Villa all losing have made this a pretty much optimal weekend for us. Just need West Ham to do something against Chelsea tomorrow and it will be perfect.

    The 11 goal swing from City to us over this weekend has been fairly helpful as well.

    Citeh, Newcastle and us +13. Now it goes to the wire. Only Chelsea have a better goal
    Difference. Hopefully Potter can weave his magic and stifle those annoying over-spenders.

    All to play for especially considering we are playing Arsenal, Newcastle and Citeh in less than a month.

    Chicago: Optimistically nervous.

    I really rate him. I'm not saying he's Haaland, but for someone who will give you a bit of everything he's good.

    By 'everything' I mean, can run, can kick, can also offer in the air, is technical, good range of passing, creative, can finish.

    He seems to be one of those players who is better when he has less time to think….

    Step 1: Establish an opinion which most people agree with.
    Step 2: Post on Talkback
    Step 3: Wait for Tricky to take the opposite view.

    Millions of people voted for Brexit. Millions more voted for Trump. Twice.
    Many Forest/football fans base their football opinions on stats/who shouts loudest, rather than actually watching the players themselves and deciding for themselves
    (I have no opinion on Havertz, as I haven't watched him enough).

    If the widely-held opinion is "Havertz is bad" then I don't think Tricky is the one with the problem here.

    Quite a long post for the punchline to be 'I have no idea'. Very on brand for TalkBack though.

    I have been looking at the table. I reckon that even with a bad run, we are probably not going to give up more than a point a game to clubs behind us. I make it that the worst we should finish will be eleventh as we now stand. In the next couple of games we should secure a top ten place, and I think we will almost certainly finish ahead of manure.

    Over to Mr. Abacus.

    This might be the only thing you are correct about this year.

    Yes, it might be.

    If you ignore the things I've already been correct about.

    Havertz has got such an extraordinary array of talents that he still feels like a bit of a let-down.
