  1. Are you kidding me? So your source is an Arsenal homer from Belfast. Gotcha
  2. You really sound like a whiny bitch with this hot take that the refs always beat you. Holding got away with 2 or 3 before his first yellow that could have easily been a yellow. The penalty on Son was justifiable. Could have gone either way, but went against you. The lack of discipline is why you are racking up all the reds - 13 since Arteta took over, with next highest in the league being Brighton & Hove with 8, then Everton and Southampton with 7. Season’s not over though, Leeds might surpass you.
  3. Johnny Marr is where it’s at these days Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Casa Dragones is a great sipper
  5. Should have gone for the Kharmann Ghia
  6. Sounds about right. I’m a Killers fan, and here in the UK they can sell out stadiums like Coldplay. They have 2 nights at Wembley in June. Outside the UK…..not so much. You’re right, Coldplay does it globally.
  7. Love these 2 by The Killers at 2019 Glasto
  8. Think we are finally settling into the following itinerary. Dubrovnik is mainly just an arrival/departure point for this trip. I plan to go back there for a 3-4 night city break during the offseason to avoid the crowds. Day 1 Arrive Dubrovnik, stay one night 2 Mostar 3 Plitvice 4. Split 5 Split 6 Hvar 7 Kercula 8 Kercula 9 Dubrovnik 10 Fly home
  9. Yep, never know what team is going to show up. Didn’t watch, shockingly only a few games each day are televised in the UK and didn’t think I needed to bother streaming or Peacock. Glad I didn’t waste the afternoon on it.
  10. Hope it builds some confidence. I think he’s been in his head for awhile now.
  11. Lukaku gets the start today so let’s see what he does with it.
  12. Well, I hope any new owner isn’t meddling into playing time for any player. That’s the the manager’s role, not ownership.
  13. Yup, it’s done. Lots of pics in front of the Bridge tonight, including George Osborn, former chancellor, who Boehly brought in. Helps for stability, and can finally engage in the transfer market.
  14. You’re fucking clueless. Tuchel tried Lukaku as a 9 and he’s had 5 goals in the Premier League this year and has been on a downhill slide since the Arsenal goal. And now he looks completely lost out there. He keeps getting opportunities and keeps failing. If you want to argue that Tuchel should change his whole scheme, to revolve more around Lukaku as a true 9, then make that argument. But don’t bring this bullshit that he prefers Germans. And by the way, his system won the UCL last year. Werner, while disappointing last year, has been better and works his ass off. And has played well lately. Havertz is our leading scorer. Lukaku has been a failure, complained to the media, and while given many chances to redeem himself, still looks lost on the pitch. I was so fired up when we signed him but it didn’t work. Time for him to fuck off.
  15. We are planning a Croatia trip in June and are thinking about a night in Mostar. The trip would be Sarajevo-Mostar-Split-An Island (Hvar or Korcula). Decided to skip Istria/Rovinj since there seems to be a big Salsa Festival the week we are going, which we want to avoid. Also going to give Dubrovnik a pass since we don't have a ton of time and I hear the summer crowds are challenging.
  16. Completely disagree. Tuchel has had some terrible lineup decisions but it’s generally been the backs and occasionally the midfield. Who else are you going to start up front? Lukaku? Pulisic? Timo has been playing well of late and Havertz is the leading scorer. Not a lot of better options.
  17. We offered him £200k per week before the sanctions but he shut down all contract discussions with the club. He’s clearly ready to move on. Will be a huge loss and we can’t start making any transfer moves until the sale is done. Frustrating
  18. Definitely less enjoyable. We gave up on it after two episodes. Disappointing as I seem to recall enjoying S1.
  19. A lethargic performance after Madrid and Palace wasn’t a surprise. What was a surprise was that shit XI that Tuchel put out there. I know guys needed a rest, especially, Havertz, but Sarr just doesn’t play at the Chelsea level and Christensen has been awful lately. Would have rather seen Challobah. Oh well, still in good shape for the top 4. On to the Hammers
  20. You certainly picked a great time to visit. Weather has been unbelievable and things are buzzing like I haven’t seen in a few years. Amazing how the Brits (and me now) are drawn to the sunshine on a warm day. In my hood, the pubs on the high street are packed and lively but the ones off the beaten path are quiet and great to sneak away for a quiet pint. I’ve taken the mutt to Regents every day and it’s been great. Weather turns back to cloudy and cool next week but enjoying it for a few more days.
  21. Appreciate the feedback. Decided to swap Budapest for Marrakech due to the Ukraine situation but will likely do it as a city break later this year.
  22. It’s been my hood for years but I love Marylebone. Central to everything and plenty of tube stops. Fair amount of great pubs too, can give you recs if needed. Trafalgar, Soho, Covent Garden will all be touristy as fuck
  23. Yeah, that’s not entirely accurate and the media has misreported this a bit. I was on a BA flight to Marrakech on March 19, a few days after this was reported, and mask were still required. Flight crew said the media had it wrong
  24. Timo looked as good as I've even seen him. And of course he should have had 5 goals. Yeah, I think he broke some records. Hit the woodwork 3 times in less than 30 minutes and scored one other
