Re: Manure A Sun May 12th KO 430pm

I think we can be a bit hard on Saka. The guy is amazing and it's easy to lose our shit when he has an off day. He seems to be brilliant or total pants, there's not an 'ok' level to him really. I was certainly shouting for him to be subbed on the hour yesterday, he had an awful game......but let's ...

Re: Manure A Sun May 12th KO 430pm

The trend is pointing increasingly upwards since Arteta started and that's fine by me. It would surprise me incredibly if this team didn't start picking up trophies because if it doesn't then we are not winning against the laws of averages. Teams and players have bad days. Get over it. Not every gam...

Re: Adidas New Kit Sponsor (NSFW)

I don't really like blue on home kits.

I thought the black one was a goalie kit.

Re: Norwich charity cup winners 1919/20 A Sun April 28th KO 2pm

Fuck me, nerve shredding stuff and the most I’ll take from that game is that we beat that lot on their own dirt, which is usually good enough. However, play like that against a half decent side and even against the scum and nine times out of ten we lose the game. How we went in 0-3 up fuck knows. I...

Re: Odegaard appreciation thread

I always liked the Batigol one from the 90s. If you skip to about 2:35 on this video:

By the way, that video is 5 minutes of pure ridiculousness, but anyway....

Odegaard!

Ode-gaa-aard!

Odig-Odig-Odig-Odegaard!

Re: Man City vs THE Arsenal A Sun March 31st 16:30. Prem.

I'll be on an airplane so will only know the score once I land!

Unless the plane has it streamed live! One flight I took a while back had the Roland Garros live, so who knows, might get lucky.

Re: Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.

So whats the verdict on Mikel now, he's winning every way for me. Good, bad, ugly. And he's made mistakes on the way, but got a lot of things right along the way. Walking out of the North Bank last night, the consensus was that he got it right with Raya, and we shouldn't really question his decisio...

Re: Porto dirty cheating putas Ch lge last 16 2nd leg Tues 12th Mar KO 8pm

Ha ha that was great. Good effort from the lads. I said I'd not seen Trossard play well as a starter but I take that back now!

Raya bossed that shootout. And it was nice to see Rambo so happy for him too.

Have to say, the team spirit on show is through the roof.

Re: Kai Havertz

He has improved slightly since I posted that ... as did many others on here... But he is still awkward in his first touch and link play and will often slow an attack down, he is quite gutsy considering he's built like a cocktail stick I'll give him that... He has yet to prove he can be an important...

Re: Porto H Ch lge last 16 2nd leg Tues 12th Mar KO 8pm

For some reason I've never seen Trossard play well from a start, always does better against tired legs. So I'd probably go with Jesus start and bring in Trossard at 70 mins depending on how the game goes.

Bought this Ibanez last month! 8) Plays great.
Nice. Is that Ibey a Prestige? That wasn't cheap! 8)
Well I got it on a reduction as it was last year's colour! Anderton's were obviously having a clearance out the back!
