Karma is a bitch. And so is Eddie Howe.

I’m looking forward to us playing Villa. Emery is on top of his game. Just that Villa doesn’t get as much attention from the press for whatever reason. But he’s gotten the Villa squad to fall in line with tactics and has himself tweaked his game based on the opponents really well. Will be a cracker. I hope he gets a good cheer from the travelling fans and we have a civil game with no fuck ups from the refs. And we crack open their defense like a coconut.

I feel like with some of his comments Arteta puts undue pressure on players. I’m thinking about what he said about ESR before the Brentford game.
