Got it for Christmas, haven't watched it yet. I have a shit load of movies to watch over the coming months. Watched It Follows and I loved it.

Anyway, back on topic. Don't want to alert the sad brigade lol.

Talk about anything you want lads this is a easy going thread.
I liked it Follows as well but didn't like the final girls.

I guess it's not really off topic because watching Sunderland is like a never ending horror film.

Tob, I got the score (Arsenal for the win and 3 points) but again my cable provider didn’t offer the match to me for viewing. How did we play?....no matter the score.

What do you mean ‘hard fought’? How was our performance? Did we play like a title winner should?

Geoff, I just finished watching the CP v. Chelsea match. Sorry for your loss . Me thinks injuries, plus a now *motivated* Chelsea were difficult to overcome.

Only a few more wins like that and you're out of the fire, I wouldn't feel completely hopeless yet. Especially if you use January to trim the fat and replace it with some talent.

I'd say that I like them similar amounts, but my gut reaction says I enjoyed The Final Girls more. It Follows was so overrated.

Tob is more qualified to speak about Arsenal but may I offer my opinion?

'Playing like a title winner should' to me means grinding out a result without playing well. Sure, it's nice to play well all the time and to see free-flowing football but the games that win titles tend to be the scruffy battles where the team (in this case Arsenal) scrape the win. I have doubted in the past if Arsenal have that mental strength. We shall see this year.
Any other year I would be shouting for the gunners to win the league. This year I want Leicester (don't think they will but would love to see it) as it would be great for the game in general. Hope you guys do really well and get 2nd place and maybe win the FA cup. However, I will be pleased for you guys if you do win the league.

Don't know where those wins will come mate. We only won because Villa are so bad. Even their own fans were chanting 'you'r not fit to wear the shirt'

Palace were outclassed, it's as simple as that. The ref was an absolute thunder**** (booking Delaney for his first foul but letting Mikel get away with at least three other offences in the same period) but that's my only complaint.

Palace have been punching above their weight TBH and, as with last season, the poor home form is what will prevent us from breaking into the upper echelons. A finish from anywhere between 7th and 9th would still represent progress so I'll be very happy with that come the end of the season.

Newcastle gave our defence problems and it was Cech who kept them out again and again but in the end the goal by Koscielny was enough penton but this weekend we have Sunderland at home in the 3rd round F.A cup.

I saw the highlights Geoff surprised the game was not called off with the weather and Mikel should have been sent off.
