  1. Not fucking around. I like it. Sweep the leg, snap the neck, and get out of here with three points and a minimum of fus.
  2. Looks like we found the source of the leaks: Speaking to the Daily Mail, Verstappen Sr said: “There is tension here while he remains in position. The team is in danger of being torn apart. It can't go on the way it is. It will explode. He is playing the victim, when he is the one causing the problems.” https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/jos-verstappen-red-bull-f1-team-risks-being-torn-apart-if-horner-stays/10582532/ Absolutely.
  3. IIRC Forest were booked twice for time-wasting in added time; we would have wanted a bit extra added had it been us. All Hudson-Oddi had to do at the end is kick the ball as far as he can to clear. Instead he tried to dribble…
  4. "Fresh flour tortilla."
  5. These make a damn good fish sammich. Toasted brioche, melt some chee, maybe some pickles… good eats.
  6. Muff, egg, sausage patty ensconced under a blanket of melty chee, hot sauce. Black coffee.
  7. Chelsea fixture on 3/16 is getting moved to April since they won today. Means we won't play them three days after Porto, but also means April is going to be hella congested: April 3: H Luton April 6: A Brighton April 9/10: CL if we beat Porto April 13: H Villa April 16/17: CL if we beat Porto Apr 20: A Wolves April 27: A Shit
  8. Surge pricing? For fast food, and shitty fast food at that?
  9. Chelsea spent like 5b on midfielders and sold us their best one for 12m. Jorg ran the Liverpool and Sandcastle games. He can't go 90mins every third day anymore, but what a player to have. Trossard, Kiwior, and Jorg last Jan.... not a bad window. Incredible. I think the club will be smart with his recovery and not try to rush him back (he is going to be World XI), but man.... any minutes he can give this spring will be massive. His quality was so evident during the preseason. I know, I know. Waiting for Partey to return is like But. If we can get Partey, Zinny, Tomi, Gabi Jesus back for the stretch run starting in March, plus whatever Timber could offer as a bonus.... The guys won't be running on vapor come April, and Arteta will have every tactical option available.
  10. Screencrush dude, with another excellent breakdown, goes into how Filoni is laying the groundwork it. He seriously needs a third Michelin star for making something decent out of that particular pile of chickenshit.
  11. That felt damn good. Fuck off, Sandcastle.
  12. Looks like we’re running out the same XI this weekend.
  13. Also didn't help that the ball was in play for 46 of the 90 minutes, during which the ref called 22 fouls on us. Given that Porto had 37% possession, the ref whistled us an average of every 48 seconds. WTF? Credit to Porto, as shown above their mid-block worked, but they also deployed the full bag of "dark arts shithousery." I thought we had decided play for a draw as the 2H went on (which we would have had if not for Martinelli's brain fart of a pass), and I would have been OK with it. Only one Arsenal player (Jorg) Wednesday has any CL experience, whereas Porto was in the Round of 16 last year and the Quarters two years ago. Dealing with Euro nights and the shithousery that comes with is something we will learn. Players and manager. Arteta does needs to come up with some answers; Sandcastle like to employ similar tactics, and (given how effective Porto were) we're likely to see other clubs try the same.
  14. One half-assed pass with less than 30 seconds left and we’re going home down 1-nil. The return leg won’t be easy; we’re going to see an entirely new level of shithousery and the lowest block in the history of football. Both of which we struggle to deal with.
  15. Only one sub used? Good thing we don’t have a match Saturday.
  16. Lulz at Haas running a full second off everyone else.
  17. Only for Jody to drive it around while they're off on deployment.
  18. He's really played well ATM. Tracking back, linking up, and making runs that pull defenders to open up opportunities for others. We're +19 since the Dubai vacay. Bottle some of that water and import it. Gabi XL is elevating every aspect of his game: passing, reading the attackers, positioning, tackling, not to mention scoring from set pieces. He's low-key evolved into our best defender. With Saliba... we're looking at one hell of a CB partnership for the future. And he finally, deservedly, has a song.
