think that’s typical of your first week after a wildcard. Kind of like the curse of the most transferred in player for the week not scoring

 

Was talking to someone at work and saying that in the circumstances, a draw wasn’t a bad result. We’re missing our best fullback, our two left wingers, and our backup/rotational DM. Then we lose our first choice DM to injury too. And in the final 10 minutes we lose Saka too. And all this after we play midweek unlike Spurs.

Disappointing to not win in one aspect, but the bigger picture is that we didn’t play particularly well, Spurs are much improved, and we had 4/5 first team players injured. So I’ll take it.

 

I messed up and did a free hit when I shouldn’t have. Didn’t realize it was just for one week lol

 

Kai Havertz’s struggles to fit in sum up Arsenal’s unsettled start to season | Jonathan Wilson

Not a single soul saw these Havertz struggles coming. Oh wait...

 

I’m waiting for City/Brentford blank game week to use my free hit. I have to make a decision when I’m going to use my bench boost and triple captain because I always wait too long.

 

Arteta saw Nketiah do fuck all and snapped

 

Also saw where Maddison expects to play this weekend. All around good news today.

 

This is some of the stuff that irritates me with Arteta. He did something similar last year and Hojbjerg almost knocked him over. Arteta got mad about it and then Hojbjerg told him to get in his box and he did lol

I just don’t get it. He’s basically on the field.

 

That's objectively very funny

 

It’s funny but in a I’m laughing at you not with you kinda way

 

What a weird reasoning. He was inches from breaking Vicario’s leg.

 

Ten Hag/United treating Sancho worse than Greenwood further diminishes United's reputation, doesn't it?

 

me reading the last three weeks of United news after only thinking about rugby since then.

 

Yeah I heard on the new MIB show that he can't even be in the first team dining hall? Like wtf?

 

Kinda mad that when Brighton & AEK got drawn in a Europa group with Ajax and Marseille we probably all thought that would be tough.

Now, both of those clubs are in crazy amounts of turnoil, with both sets of fans rioting and threatening staff/players, and they’ll probably both get knocked out.

 

a.k.a. he's been overworked.

 

Oh good. So that’s Rice, Partey, Trossard, Martinelli, Timber, and Saka all out. And I’m pretty certain they would almost all start too lol.

Guess we’re gonna see what Nelson and Smith Rowe can do. But if more of these are long term injuries, our season is basically done lol.

 

you should sit them for the match v City too

 

Sending Pablo Torre and Eric Garcia to Girona for a season long loan is looking like a masterstroke of luck. Tied on points, 2nd on goal differential with Barca at the top of the table through 6 games.

 

Ipswich focusing on the league or something? @Platy Wolves 2-0 up already.

 

I assume so! Looking at the line-up it's definitely our 2nd team, so not surprising really.

 

Mount is having a great game. Amrabat looks pretty good

 

2-2 now

 

I'm very confident that you don't need to worry about that game ha.

 

Not fielding the top squad either.
