    2 - 0 Joelinton is on fire.

    This could be a cricket score at this rate.

    Things quietened down a bit though a long way to go, Newcastle don't tend to stop so expecting more goals at some point.

    Half time I know a few Geordi's that will be buzzing, this Newcastle reminds me of Kevin Keegan's all out attack side though defends better.

    What a result for Newcastle! It's looking increasingly likely that Sp*rs miss out of the CL.

    Yeah 6 points behind Man united and we have two game in hand and we play them soon. Liverpool could catch and overtake Spurs.

    Hopefully our front line can do the business, Brighton will be tough.

    The lack of consistency from the ref is poor.

    Haven't thought about that! Liverpool have a decent fixture list as well.

    I imagine this will be a close game. Brighton have been great this season, but United have players like Rashford, who can create things on his own.

    Rashford done next to nothing does not look fit, he will probably get the winner lol

    Lindelof is the hero 7 - 6 on penalties............. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That was stress credit to Brighton, that is a game you don't want to lose. To beat City in the final we really need to step it up and get players fit.

    Massive win for United. City will be tough to beat, but anything is possible in a cup final!

    Salah my Captain at home to Forest not bad, Martinelli scored me some points at least yesterday.

    Salah was my captaincy pick as well. Regret not picking Jota for my Free Hit team though.

    Arsenal gifting City the title here. They've completely lost it.

    I thought this was going to be a clean sheet.
    Good comeback though to at least get a point.

    Unfortunately for Arsenal, that one point wont be enough to compete with City for the title. They really have taken themselves out of the race with recent performances. Expected this to happen, but would have thought that it would have happened earlier. At this point of the season, it's even more heartbreaking…

    I know what you're going through as we finished 2nd to man c (who have been charged with breaking financial fair play rules around 100 times over a nine-year period) 3 times.

    It's not worth worrying about too much as there are more important things in life.

    Indeed there is. It certainly helps that I never really believed they could do it. But it would have felt better if they were failing at chasing City, rather than failing to keep a lead in the title race. The fact that they've been so close to something that – if we are being realistic – probably won't happen again, have probably crept into the players minds. The way they've performed recently shows it.

    Man City v Arsenal in a couple of days will be the game of the season.
    Arteta should play for a draw and park the bus, counter attack with martinelli who is a speed machine imo.

    What do you think arteta will do ? Normal formation ?

    Gameweek 33 is less than a day away, so let's have a look at how gameweek 32 went! Gameweek 32 finished with a considerably lower average score of 42, with lesser owned players like Isak, Murphy and Diogo Jota among the players delivering the highest scores. Our league had some good scores despite the low average, and none did better than MEJICO POWA, finishing the gameweek with 70 points. Congratulations! =D>

    First of all, I think nothing but three points is enough for Arsenal, so they really have to go for it – which could get ugly if it fails. As for the team – with Saliba increasingly likely to miss the rest of the season – they will probably field the same team as they have in recent weeks. I think Arsenal writer James McNicholas (AKA Gunnerblog) wrote something like he'd like to see Partey drop down in defence instead of Holding, with Jorginho taking the midfield spot. It makes sense given Holding's lack of game time this season, but it will be a brand new starting eleven – and do you want to do so against City of all teams? I doubt it.

    He must be really happy to have Hodgson, Emery and Dyche back in the Prem. Can't think of a much better group of managers to portray!

    Not sure what to do myself. Might save a transfer, but making a few changes to my team is tempting.

    I'll probably save a transfer for GW34 too which is the start of the Back of the net! cup.
