I heard she goes like a Train!

Read that wrong and thought you said she goes like a tranny

Maybe I should have used the term "Choo Choo" instead.

Well they both like it in a dark and dirty tunnel

The cone boy is a spoofer

Had too Google that:

What is a spoofer?

"Spoofing is a broad term for the type of behavior that involves a cybercriminal masquerading as a trusted entity or device to get you to do something beneficial to the hacker — and detrimental to you. Any time an online scammer disguises their identity as something else, it's spoofing."


I still don't understand.

This season is Arteta's 5th full season at the club.
He has won nothing in the last 4 full seasons.
This season is turning into a complete and utter shambles.

Ok the officials have screwed us over, BUT it is not their fault that we had a shit transfer window, it is not their fault that we keep selecting the same players over and over again until they break down.

I have said it all season and will continue to say it - we have got to rotate more for the new CL
We WILL qualify in the CL whatever team we select, but surely we need to prioritise the league at the moment, with so many suspensions/injuries?

We just seem to be prioritising a top 8 finish in the CL over a title challenge which seems crazy.
We just don't have the squad to compete in both.

Over here (in Gods country ) a spoofer is a bullshitter - someone who keeps talking the talk but doesnt walk the walk. I find it scandalous that FIVE YEARS in, we have in effect a squad of maybe 14 or 15 outfield players, and this after spending almost 800m Kiwor was wanted by a few clubs last summer but we didnt sell him so you keep him to play him in games like last night, or you offload him and invest the money in a better player that you do trust enough when one of your centre backs or left back need a rest or are suspended.
My criticism of buying players and then offloading them within 18-24 monts is well known on here - some argue that as long as we get back what we paid or make a profit then it is no harm no foul, but I disagree. Going into last nights game we had THREE first teams players unavailable - hardly an injury crisis, but at the same time it cripples us cos we have no squad depth due to the constant turnover of players. Someone, either edu or cone boy, is buying players without fully checking them out or assesing them properly, and then the cone boy decides within a few months of them arriving that they are not of the required standard and moves them out on loan or sells them - maybe instead of doing that the people who are making these decisions should buy players who can make a positive contribution to AFC on the field instead of the financial books. A shocking indictment right now is that villa's back up striker would probably piss into our starting 11

So could it be that we are depending on agents instead of decent scouts. I seem to remember reading a few years back that the club sacked a number of scouts . Maybe those that are doing it are either not up to scratch or being influenced by people that have something to gain.

Did they / we / Arsenal dis-mantle the Scouting network some years back?

Didn't they get rid of the scouts replacing them with some stats software they bought?

Something like that, they check out the Stats and if someone achieves a certain level in those areas they deem necessary they get someone to video that player for a couple of games(*). Either that or they look at one of those Greatest Hits clips on YT; hence the likes of the cocktail stick and partey.
