  1. Good breakdown on Zubamendi. Lengthy but worth the read. I think he’ll really fit in well and just as importantly give us options. https://billycarpenter.substack.com/p/scouting-martin-zubimendi
  2. AFTV makes texags look intellectual, rational, and well-reasoned. It has long been known.
  3. Will be an interesting offseason. Every point above 80 is more costly and the margins in improvement finer. We need to get the striker, whomever Berta & Arteta think is best, in soon. Get it done and settled. Another creative MF to take some load off Ødegaard would be nice. Martinelli… love the kid but his numbers aren’t the same without Xhaka behind him. Is LW a position we can upgrade? Big questions. Not easy answers. Arteta has some improvements to get us to that final step, too. * Start trusting the squad. Kiwior has shown he can play CB at a really good level; maybe Gabi XL and Saliba don’t need to play every match. Ethan… kid has skills. Maybe Saka doesn’t need to play every single minute of every single match. MLS grew up a midfielder; maybe between him and Ethan, we don’t need to play Ødegaard every single match. * Everyone’s dog even knows a mid/low block gives us problems. Figure out a Plan B. * What is going on, either in training, with the medical/treatmeat/recovery staff, nutrition, etc that is causing everyone hamstrings to explode. So many injuries of the same type isn’t coincidence, and it needs to be solved. Oh… and the new 25-26 home kit is WAAAAAAAAAY better than this past one. Watching the Newcastle match I thought to myself, “this is a proper kit. We look like Arsenal again.” COYG

    And Lost.
  5. Myles is damn special; What a talent.
  6. Absolutely. Fuck those sport-washing hoes.
  7. Did he piss in Arteta’s Cheerios? Bang his wife? Hopefully he’s carrying an undisclosed injury, because it’s not smart if Arteta to just totally dump him after what he showed while Saka was recovering. 💯
  8. I LOVE this kid.
  9. Oh, and lol city. Fuck all the way off. Fuck off Pep, you whining bitch. Haaland stay humble you cunt.
  10. She has to say that. Birth of her son I get, but I’d bet deep down today is #2. How do I know this? 01/04/2006.
  11. Put me down for “more grass and gravel.” Doubt we hear about track limits tomorrow. And ditto RE Gasly & Albon. More evidence Piastri is a future WDC. Dude is damn quick and seems so steady emotionally; win or lose he’s exactly the same. And has there been a better driver decision than dumping Alpine for McLaren?
  12. And left back isn’t even his position; he played MF all through the youth ranks. What a talent.
  13. Careers are short; wouldn’t fault him for wanting regular football, an established Italy international. Still… dude is only 22, can play all four defensive positions, and will improve. Would be very nice to have him in our rotation.
  14. Not when your finta lose 5- nil
  15. Silky me. I thought a CLEAR AND OBVIOUS INABILITY TO SCORE GOALS was the problem. Silly me. See, what is really holding is back is goalkeeping. Need a ~£30m GK to elevate Raya’s level. Strikers and attacking MFs? Nah. We good. Oh and we need a few more left backs.
  16. Yup. Mbappe leaves and they become a much better side. Truly a “team”, balanced in every aspect. And has there been a better bit of January business recently than Kvaratskhelia?
  17. 💯 Four absolutely brilliant saves.
  18. Maybe we should, I don’t know, SIGN. A FUCKING. STRIKER. Hard to win the Champions League when you’re playing an 8 up top.
  19. Curtains. We aren’t scoring three. Fuck. That’s a remarkable hit. Couldn’t make the early spell count. Fuck.
  20. Kvaratskhelia… what a player. And was available this January
  21. I’m starting to think it helps having a giant in goal.
  22. If only they didn’t have a giant in goal…. Need to make this eariy spell count.
  23. Let’s. Fucking. Go.
