  1. Hopefully the fact that the ref is European and thus less likely to get blinded by "Good 'Ol 'Arry Kane, England Captain" bullshit and Kane won't get his usual "completely horseshit because that cocksucker dives more than anyone" penalty.
  2. Apparently the deduction was over a disputed £6.5m loss. Yes, you read that correctly. £6.5m Meanwhile, 115 Financial Violations FC just keep rolling along. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/08/everton-hit-with-two-point-deduction-over-second-breach-of-financial-rules
  3. I mean, just, damn. Compare that with who we likely start on Tuesday: Martinelli/Gabriel Jesus, Havertz, Saka Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Saliba, White Raya None of that previous lineup makes it in Tuesdays XI. Alexis, Walcott, and LeHair would be very nice options off the bench, not to mention having an Alexis or a Theo in this squad would allow Saka some off days. Koscielny had the misfortune of playing alongside Mustafi, and I think we forget how good was for us at a difficult stretch for The Arsenal; he would have given his left nut to have Gabi XL or Rolls Royce as his CB partner.
  4. Yep. Passing at 130R and Spoon, battles from P3 -17, different strategies. That was a fun race.* I've only driven it on my Xbox, but Suzuka is such a badass track. *Obligatory "other than Max driving off into the distance unchallenged."
  5. I think our League fate will decided the week of April 20 - 28: Chelsea (who play up to their competition) three days after Wolves (major banana peel game) and right before the NLD (I mean, it's the NLD and Spurs seem to be over their midseason funk). That's a seriously mean list of fixtures. Our solidity in midfield and defense since the winter break does give me hope. Five goals conceded in 11 matches (three of which were fluky: sandcastle got a garbage time goal while we were up 4-nil, Brentford got a gift from Ramsdale who wasn't up to match speed, and Porto was on the final kick of the ball from a brain fart clearance Martinelli won't make again); we aren't winning matches by the seat of our pants while our hair's on fire. We're controlling matches and making the opponent tap. If somehow we can get through that stretch without dropping points, I think we'll get it done.
  6. Guy on the left is w/ hand over mouth Jamie Carragher, Merseyside native and former Liverpool CB. Guy on the right smiling is Gary Neville, Manchester native and former ManUre RB. Both were boyhood fans of their respective clubs.
  7. Phantom goals for sandcastle and Villa hurting also. Crazy that we could potentially finish the season P18 W17 D1 L0 and not win the title.
  8. Yup. This was a tricky one against a bogey side. Should have been 2-nil at HT, Kai’s goal arrived at the prefect time, and we saw out the rest. Three points and onward. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!!!
  9. Need to stay sharp, bolt the door, and get out of here 2-nil.
  10. Only 8 over Liverpool, who should beat manure by more than 1.
  11. Saka & Jesus off, Gabi & Trossard on. Like these changes.
  12. 1000% We’re more stable with Kiwior/Tomi. Yup. Really need a 2nd goal.
  13. Gabi XL got up slowly and was wincing. Please dear God let him be ok. Only Cole Palmer is allowed multiple pens in a half.
  14. Yeah Kai, Øde, and White are piling up the minutes. Read somewhere that the medical staff is amazed that Benny Blanco is able to play damn near every minute with the injury he’s carrying. Tomi returning should let Benny get a break here and there.
  15. Thought Arteta woukd start Partey with an eye to keeping Jorg fresh for Bayern. Expecting a tough game. They are on a slide but will show out today. Still… Let’s. Fucking. Go.
  16. TP’s typically cover a bit for drivers. This statement, though… “didn’t know where he was on track”? Sargent may not make it to Miami.
  17. That is a really salient point. Taking the sting out of a game and killing it off was something we struggled with in recent years, even earlier in this season. In years past, we'd have charged out in the 2H, got hit on the counter, then been forced to sweat out a 2-1, hoping a weird bounce didn't level it in extra time. Sometimes I forget this Arteta's first managerial position. He's learning and improving by leaps just like the players.
