nothing. they are a nobody club. we've never even been in a title race with them as far as i can remember.

them being Cat A made sense pre 1996 when most of our fans were from the SE and it was a local trip, but now we are a 'global brand' thats hardly the case.

i used to drive a spud ex workmate nuts - every year he used to ask me if i was going over for the spuds game, and i'd always reply " nah, i'm saving my money for a big game - Liverpool, United, Everton or Leeds"... :lol:

11 players out in the coming weeks apparently. I, for one, would have a look at a cut-price Dembele.

If they play against the scum with the same vigour that they did against us they will tear them all new arseholes.

Wouldnt bother wasting my time with that.

I have far better things to do with my time, like ice sculpting or planting flowers.

A bit early to say that - but.....I would have loved him to replace Wenger at the end of last year. That being said, would he have attracted Sanchez?
