kek. Yearly? I must have missed them walking to the title any time since 2011.
7 points in 14 games is definitely an impossible gap that we definitely didn't do earlier in the season though, so I will concede defeat to you.
Mate I'd watch your back, the football thread hipster brigade will be on you for this post for suggesting anyone other than Courtois is the best keeper in the league this season. Also, they will definitely suggest you only watch English football and that you're a terrible person for it.

My cousin (Arsenal fan) was saying "nah man, that's how Wenger's playing these big games". I was like "nah man, you're just getting pumped".

Yeah it's just hard to fathom when looking back at old Wenger teams. Sign of times to come maybe.
Yeah it's Ospina clearly.

Well obviously they're both ****ing amazing but for all that's been said about Courtois the amount of points that De Gea has won for United this season is ridiculous. Every keeper can sympathise with playing behind a dodgy back four and being relied upon to pull out a few saves to keep a side in the game but the extent to which he did it early on was basically other worldly.
Now, I'm not saying Courtois couldn't do similarly but he hasn't needed to and when comparing them in the context of this season it's difficult to give him credit for something he's not done - he was also half dropped after the Tottenham game.

Yeah I'd agree with all of that. Courtois was much better last season though.

Tbf, you're both right. That is how we play big games these days. Difference between Saturday and City was we just couldn't get out. They pressed us really effectively and we didn't have Santi having a worldie to dribble out of every bit of pressure and distribute it brilliantly. This meant we didn't create enough AND meant they were constantly peppering us with attacks. Lack of possession in itself is not an issue, it's about how efficient you are the rare times you have it, and whether you have things under control when you don't have it (just after losing the ball isn't one of those times). Mind it's not like we actually created a lot v City. And you wouldn't necessarily expect to get more than one goal away in a big game. We also made defensive errors which cost us which wasn't the case v City.

No I don't like it at all but it also presents a very different picture to the original times article which claims he is going to be sacked.
If it is a contingency plan, then that is absolutely fine, although obviously not ideal that it has been made public. As it happens I think Paco Jemez is great, if Warbs was to leave for another club I could not be happier at getting him as a replacement but to sack him would just beyond comprehension. Just can't quite believe this is a story.
