Sporting H Thurs Mar 16th 2023 KO 8pm

[Stuart L (2)]

Initial assessment of Leandro Trossard's groin injury is positive.

Likely to miss Sporting, but hope is not a serious problem.

More assessment today to learn full extent of issue.

Good news

I’d say it’s essential for him to be okay until Jesus is ready to return

[gooner265]

I'm flying out there for this one! Fearing we will now rest the entire team but I'll probably be too pissed by kick off to notice.

Lets just make sure we're in with a decent shout for the 2nd leg. I know there is sentiment building to toss this in the bin and focus purely on PL, but we aren't prolific enough in Europe to do that. 29 years is a long long wait for a European trophy - lets give it our best shot

Don’t suppose you can play centre forward?

I'll give it a go mate. Yaya Sanogo once did an impression of a "super quality" centre forward, as did Chamakh and Park......so you never know. Keep watching!

And he's got more medals than Kane

[SteveO 35]

Very much looking forward to seeing my old mate Heccy B in the flesh!

I've got my fan boy sign ready with "Hector, can I have your shirt for Rodders please" and a big loveheart made from tofu attached at the bottom!

Honestly, got to hope that useless c.unt turns out. Stick Nelson up against him and the quorn munching tool will be blowing out of his arse after five minutes

KT out of this game due to illness

[Clummo99]

Jesus fully involved in open training session today.

KT sent home early because of illness.

[rodders999]

Tierney fuck sake, the one game you need him for

Love the tofu heart mate, will be a sure fire winner with our pal Heccy

[OneBardGooner]

It'll be interesting to see if he has improved at all, In that there was plenty of room for improvement



Had Tierney been playing he would definitely have roasted hector Vegan for pace.

[DB10GOONER]

I've read that Linda McCartney-Zoolander has designed a new kit especially for this game. His team mates are apparently "thrilled" to be wearing non gender specific vegan sourced natural hemp jerseys hand sown - by choice - by inspiring self-empowering vegan women that donate half their salaries to the Non Judgemental Home For Retired Fashionistas.

KT out of this game due to illness

KT is a great guy and a great player when he's fit but as this is so rare we might be better off letting him go in the summer and buying a backup for Zinchenko who can stay fit.

[rodders999]

I want him to go full blown Stiffs R Us here but I doubt he will. The player I'd like to see rested the most is Saka but he gets picked for every game so would be surprised if he doesn't start this.

[OneBardGooner]

Various comments in the mejia seem to be suggesting that Arteta will start with a Strong Line-Up and if things go well - ie: We are wining he will then make subs.

Fuck it, go defensive, draw 0-0 or even take a 1-0 loss to keep us in it for the home leg.

Give a few under 21’s some European experience over both legs please

Oh please do! I’ll hang it down your end of the bath tub if you get it for me

It will be like old times tonight watching him sprint up to the halfway line with the ball before stopping, turning around and passing the ball backwards. Now those were the days my friend.

"Sprint"? What the fuck are you on about? The cûnt stopped sprinting about a year after he joined us.
