In unrelated news -





A phone.

I see he was identified without too much trouble...

Another win, baby.

You could probably win it with draws now.

I'm not tempting fate. Every match is the most important match.

Except the FA Cup, I can take it or leave it. I will try to watch it tomorrow, though.

The FA Cup has become a bit like the (accursed) League Cup - useful for appraising a few second-string players and deciding who really ought to go at the end of the season. Unlike the League Cup, you want to do just enough to progress and then take it seriously if you reach the latter stages.

What you don’t want is a bloody draw - like Watford 3 Tranmere 3.

I just noticed Kane has a torn hamstring. I wonder if that makes Son or Lucas a smart buy in fantasy.

I wondered about that. I had Kane but replaced him with Jimenez.

I'd have to give up players who have nearly doubled Lucas's points total and don't seem as susceptible to the red mist as Son has been lately. Plus, Mourinho is so unpredictable and shipping goals, who knows what he's going to do next?

There are still concerns about VAR inconsistency because the standard has gotten fuzzier over the season. But, I have to say, the VAR decision to send of Aubameyang was 100% correct. It was over the top, wild, and studs up. Clear red card, in my opinion. VAR did its job.

Well we will agree to disagree then. Thought it looked terrible in slow motion (they often do) but at full speed not all that and a yellow was right. Funny how the injured player was fine 5 seconds after the original yellow card. Still, Kolasinac is the worst at pretending to be hurt, annoys me so much. And as an Arsenal fan I may be just a teeny bit biased about the red card!

*Edit - I was wrong about player he tackled who was subsequently subbed off. Still never a red though!
