Being from the West Country we're natural optimists (?) so I had a change of tack from Thursday when I said we'd be lucky to get a point against Villa and genuinely fancied us to get a good result last night!
Nice to see a really good reaction from the players last night and pleased for Slot as well - hopefully they can build on this for Madrid and the City game .
I'd take a point now against City and a point against Madrid certainly isn't terminal in the CL with a lot of points to play for .
Fixtures after the City game are pretty favourable so if we can get to the new year within 6/ 7/ 8 points of Arsenal it could be all to play for?

Just looked at arsenal's fixtures, no easy games coming up for them, so hopefully should shorten the lead if we uphold our end of the bargain.

Same here, mate.

Amazingly we can go from 3rd to 2nd today.

If city win sure they will go 2nd.

Ignore me Chippy ?.
I just looked at us and Bournemouth in the table.
Didn’t even realise they were playing City mate.

Wishful thinking, JK, my mate.
02 Nov 2025 15:52:52
I thought the same jk then realised they were playing each other ?♂️.

Err no we cant.

Another mark whittled out on my pedant wall!

Oddly, there’s only Arsenal won more PL games than us this season. Like I say, if we start to play like a team with a plan we aren’t going to be far away come the back end of the season.
{Ed025's Note - i agree..
