  1. Is it June 16 yet?
  2. Yup; there's no one out there with his skillset that we wouldn't have to drastically overpay for (<£100m) and then put that player on top tier wages. Our collapse and goals-against after he went out give him and his agents a very compelling case in any negotiation with the club. It will cost us much less in the long run to just "pay him, pay that man his money." Saliba is from a suburb of Paris and his youth coach was Mbappe's father. PSG's interest him, and vice versa, makes sense. If the season starts and he's still unsigned or unwilling to sign, then we have a real problem: risk him leaving on a free, or selling one of our two most vital players.
  3. I was rooting for a meteor.
  4. Btw…. Awesome thread title, @shadow_operative
  5. Such a different vibe around the club than a decade ago, when everyone picked off our young talent.
  6. Details on the track changes:
  7. Yup. “Father and Son” flared my allergies when Gunn placed it at the end of Guardians Vol. 2, and and damn did it get me again here. Such a great song, and it hits me more as my kid ages. Yup, but Mike Dean and VAR not fucking things up? That’s how we know it’s fiction. All in all… a damn fine ending to a damn fine series.
  8. For those along the Surly 1% with some extra cash lying around…
  9. Really, really happy for Xhaka. His arc could only have been better had he lifted the PL trophy today. Glad we ended the season with good vibes. Now, sign 3-4 players, get Saliba inked, and go win the motherfucker next year.
  10. Zhou sets the fastest lap in Q1; he’s out ten minutes later. Max is down to Fernando 0.2s, then pulls 0.3s in the final sector. Amazing, amazing stuff. Yes, General, I was entertained.
  11. Dortmund…. Yikes. Yeah that would have been worse.
  12. Rain, at Monaco?
  13. Take lots of pictures and report back.
  14. 100%. Not as sweet as the 2021 but way better than their usual.
  15. Saw these during my last grocery run, laughed, then decided to give them a try. Pretty tasty. The Funyun powder works surprisingly well on a chip.
  16. THIRTEEN!!! A great actor who elevated everything in which he was cast. Fifty eight is way too young. Damn. Requiescat in pace.
  17. It’s Rawe Ceek, boys
  18. Plenty of positives and growth this year, but damn it is ending badly.
  19. Fifty points from the first 19 matches; 31 in the 18 since. We didn’t hit the wall, it slammed into us. Plenty of lessons, brutally painful lessons, from these final 9 matches; hopefully everyone at the club learns from them.
  20. Saka’s played 3k+ minutes. That’s 1-1.5k more than most. Mik can’t keep overcooking him. Lose the League to City if they close the season with 14 straight wins? Ok. They’re the finished article and know how to close a season. Finish strong on 90 points and set a tone for next year. But to collapse and check out mentally like we’ve done in the past two matches… man it’s worrisome.
  21. The guys have checked out and are already on vacation.
  22. He gone, and it makes me a bit sad. Mik and Edu better have a replacement in mind, because Zinny’s injury record isn’t great, and Nuno Tavares ain’t a backup for a title challenger. Yes, Kieran didn’t play well last week, but who did? It’s going to hard watching him for another club, bombing down the wings and whipping in crosses for waiting forwards to head in, but it’s what he’s great at. He’s not an inverted LB, which is how Arteta wants to play, and it’s obvious that’s not his skill set. He (and we) played well when Zinchenko was hurt in the 1st half of the season, had having a change of pace guy seemed a good option to have.
