Be nice to start season with a nice dead easy game against relegation fodder.

There were similar issues when we first introduced this digital tickets lark - not sure was as bad as this or kick off was delayed - may have been one game possibly where it was 10 mins or so - maybe v chelsea - my memory is crap - but i remember there being ridiculous queues outside and ground having laods of empty specs at kick off.

 

Went on for a few games before settled.

 

But this today seems to be on a different scale.

That was the season I was a match steward. In fact, that was my first game. People having a go at us. I told one guy ‘it’s not my fucking fault’ and got told off by some blert who’s whole life revolves around being a head steward.  Too many jobsworths and nonces.

Was shite and saw people getting right nark over it and giving out dogs abuse.

 

I felt for stewards to be fair - not their fault.

Saddens me to say it but Arsenal remind me of us in 2018-2020. Their 2 wide forwards are Manè and Salah clones.

The weirdos who proclaim every year that the league is awful quality wise might actually be right this season. Think the bottom half teams will be particularly atrocious.

Have made this same point - i don't get all the sneering at and righting off of them...

 

They have improved their squad massively over last couple of years - they have a really potent attack with loads of pace and skill and have a really effective midfield - Odegaard has been superb.

 

Their key men are all great ages - they are set very fair and very much remind me of us around 2017-2020

Any of Luton, Sheff Utd, Bournemouth, Bournemouth, Everton, Wolves or Forest could easily go down. Palace and Fulham, depending on their outgoings over the next few weeks, could join that list.

Mangala being a lazy prick for both goals. Another useless fucker that United have got a fair few £ for. Will end up at Sunderland

They're more orthodox wingers than Mané and Salah have been.

[Razoray]

Timberrrrrrr has gone down 

[polymerpunkah]

Timber!!!!!

In your opinion. In mine they offer the same threat as Sadio and Mo, not quite the numbers yet but they have 5 or 6 years on them.

I mean, the formations are just different. By all intents and purposes, Salah and Mané were strikers with Trent and Robbo providing the width.

 

Martinelli and Saka play wider. They are more comparable to any kind of combo of wingers City have used. Sane, Sterling, Mahrez, etc...

[Razoray]

Arsenal playing Partey in the inverted full back role today with Timber (now Tomiyasu) and White as the outside defenders in the back 3. It's obvious that the system can work effectively if organised well and if the players are able. 

 

Our issue could be that our wide forwards are strikers whereas Arsenal's and City's are wingers. We do look as if we may lack width with the ball

[Torvald Utne]

Serge Aurier is a millionaire from this football shit

It's day 2 of the season and already I'm sick of it.

He's playing right back. Will probably invert quite a bit.
