They’d have that weird blue Smurf Spunk.

I normally stagger in 15 mins before kick off, I’ll be heading in about an hour beforehand. Talk of another 50k going to be outside, I’d hate for there to be even a whiff of an England v Italy scenario.

Xabi is the son my Dad always wanted (he must be so disappointed in me…) so watches a lot of Leverkusen. He’s of the opinion that he’s no worse defensively than Trent, he has better recovery pace than Trent, however, he’s not as physical as somebody like Walker is when needing to bail himself out. Edit - Just realised you’re talking about Ait Nouri, not Frimpong.

There was an interesting stat on Bradley in Slot’s pre-Spurs presser - he’s played < 30 games for us and only played 90 minutes 3 times. Although I like Bradley, he’s still a bit inconsistent. As well as he played v Real Madrid or Man City etc, Mavididi & Hudson-Odi have also given him a run around this season. If Trent is going, I’d be starting him in our last 5 games and see how he does v Son / Tel, Neto / Sancho, Martinelli & Mitoma.

Just watched Slot’s presser, not a lot to take away from it really. I think it’ll be the same line up as Leicester. We’ve scored 10 goals in 2 games against them with Salah - Diaz - Gakpo starting against them this season, we could have had about 20 (Jota started the league cup game). Let’s make Sunday one of the best days of our life’s. Just fucking win.

Trent scored it last week. 0-0 on Sunday.

Definitely the cheapest…

Was the league shit in these seasons as well? Especially that 1998 season, what a stinker…

If I was an Arsenal supporter, I’d be fuming at this as well… https://x.com/footy_road/status/1915456970364166523?s=46

Wobble…

I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer on Robbo or Tsmiskas. Robbo is the better player, IMO, his race is run, unfortunately. Tsmiskas has been the better player this season, he won’t ever be good enough long term. However, as others have said, Robbo is part of the leadership group. As it looks like only Trent is leaving from that group now, is it really that detrimental? Both seem popular players. Neither are classed as home grown. I think Robbo will do all in his power to win his place back, would push whoever the new left back is and make him earn his starting spot. I think Tsmiskas would be happy to remain 2nd place, again. If either are only being kept for another season, would we risk Robbo’s legs completely going?

If Tarkowski hadn’t scored that goal, we’d be champions by now. I was mightily pissed off when it went it, it makes me happier now he did score it because we can win it at home.

I’d buy Frimpong as well, his versatility is a huge asset. I think Bradley would still get plenty game time.
