    Acting as an ICBM magnet so the big London clubs would be unaffected by nuclear holocaust.

    Haven't kept up this week. Do we have centre backs now?

    Don't think anyone thought to ask Silva that in his press conference. They just wanted the detail on Success and his four lady friends.

    My dad was a Chelsea fan but when I wanted to go to football agreed to take me to see our local team (possibly a toss up at the time between Wycombe and Watford but fortunately we chose right!). We were in Div 2 under GT in his first era.
    When my kids were young, Watford was a 90 minute drive away which wasn’t viable after their Saturday morning games. Oxford United did a lot of community stuff with their teams and in the end both played for Oxford at Academy levels so I found myself using the complimentary season tickets with them. I made quite a few friends there but Watford remains my team.
    I found I prefer the atmosphere of a live game to watching on tv or other sources so now I live in plymouth my wife and I are Argyle season ticket holders- but I still try to get back to the Vic a few times a year or to away games.

    Surprisingly they did. Kaboul definitely out. Prodl unlikely to feature either.

    I'll look out for him and give him a slap if I spot him.

    Fancy our chances for this one. Holding and Monreal as the wider CBs in a back three can be got at by Charly and Carillo.

    Think the 3 at the back they're likely to play today, also played against Chelsea and kept a clean sheet, let's not assume we'll score just because of this

    My fourth yellow team is Snorbens, currently losing 2-0 to Borehamwood on TV AND IT'S LIVE (on the red button). Don't often watch the first team, but two of my sons pulled on the hallowed yellow shirt for City Youth

    Gomes (C); Kabasele, Mariappa, Britos; Femenía, Doucouré, Cleverley, Holebas; Pereyra, Gray, Richarlison.

    Back 3. Interesting.

    343? Well you can hardly accuse Silva of lacking balls! There will be goals.

    Pereyra and Richarlison flanking Gray looks nice though.

    Sanchez not involved at all, Ozil on the bench.

    Welbeck & Iwobi both good football players but the former is a downgrade on Sanchez and Iwobi isn't as good as Richarlison.

    Kabs in Chalobah role, with a back four.

    Not sure it's a good idea to match them up and start with a back three. If Silva pulls this off he is a genius.

    Well unless we put 5 past arsenal I’m guessing Man City may be first up on MotD!

    Twice now that Pereyra has failed to put through Gray when there were good opportunities

    I don't like this formation

    we sacrifice a midfielder for 3 pretty ropy cbs that offer very little

    neither Holbas of Kiko are decent wing backs it leaves huge gaps at the back

    We've been bloody awful. Worst thing is, Arsenal are ******* terrible.

    Haven't heard the crowd at all. Maybe the microphones aren't working.

    We're too slow and safe at the moment. The wingers aren't getting involved enough.

    The game was incredibly even until that.

    Tom Cleverley marking Per Mertesacker? Idiotic.

    I thought it was a mistake to change our formation and I've seen nothing to think I was wrong

    Not sure if they are showing tweets on the advertisement boards or what but it's bloody cringeworthy.

    Cleverley wasn't marking him. It's this Zonal system needs changing.

    And what are we doing punting long to Gray v Mertesucker? He's giving away about 3 foot in height.
