We also have a game in hand to make up more of the goal difference and arsenal have some tricky games to end the season: Newcastle, 2 London teams who's fans really don't want them to win, and Crystal Palace away to finish

And they look scared, are out of form, and managed by a coward. Feeling very good about how things stand

What a second half, love games like that.

Very happy for Doku, long time coming.

Thought Haaland had a decent game overall, grafted especially in the second half . need to feed him more balls

Haha also nice of the camera man to focus on him for 30 sec

I'm pretty sure I recognise him from Ian Cheesemans vlogs.

Arsenal water bottles a tenner on Amazon, I wonder if there any in my local charity shop

I just don't get that , why would delap want to deliberately injure a City player? Ex team mates . He might want to score, but injure someone ?

If we beat Burnley 1-0 in our game in hand, any win over Arse will put us level with them on GD, us being on top with goals scored.

And strangely enough, I am very confident about this one. More or less a full squad to pick from, except from one or two usual suspects.

Haaland will be chomping at the bit and I expect more goals from him. And this game is tailored for Cherki and Semenyo

4-0 Haaland (3) O’Reilly

Not far away

From what i have seen Delap puts himself about on the football pitch. He tends to clatter a few players, its his style. I think any young player moved on by their club is generally seen as a rejection, so they are motivated a little bit more. Whether its deliberate or accidental, its how he plays. A poor mans Joelinton in the hacking stakes.

How good were we in that 2nd half. A little sloppy 1st but they created very little for all that.
Arse, dippers Chelsea last 3 ganes, not conceded a goal
Guehi MOM for me, Cherki pulling all the strings.
9 more wins and Pep becomes the 2nd manager in history to win the domestic treble. 1st was......Pep
