You have to feel sorry for Arsenal fans, the manager and the players have been stuck in their own ways for more than a decade, even last week (against Chelsea), had Morata been more composed, they would have lost by a considerable margin.

Morata needs to get his shooting boots back on, since he announced his wife's pregnancy I think he's only put one into the net.

 

Also Conte should ignore Mourinho and focus on beating him next time he sees him.

Maybe Chelsea should look at a striker in January.

[Izzy 388]

Well, at least one high profile striker is available...

HOLY SHIT IT'S KARA

 

<3 bro tell me about Guilliman being back.

[Izzy 388]

Just chiming in to say hi to Kara...

 

 

[godhand 153]

Hello Kara. 

 

 

The Pool vs City match was amazing. 

[Batong 253]

Kara survived longer than Evilore.

 

Staying around this time?

[kelley 774]

What an absolute shit show today on the pitch against fucking Norwich. Both Pedro and Morata going off with two yellows.  Wheels on the fucking bus are off.

 

In other news I'm coming over to the UK in the first part of July to see The Cure's 40th Anniversary show in Hyde Park.

[Izzy 388]

40th Anniversary? But they formed in 1976...

 

 

Should be a nice concert, though, IIRC they even have Slowdive on the bill. I do wonder if Tolhurst is playing... probably not.

 

 

 

 

[kelley 774]

It's the 40th Anniversary of them releasing their first single.

 

They have a lot of awesome acts on the bill, Slowdive are amazing live saw them back in November.  I saw Ride last September and they too were great.  I haven't seen Interpol in 6 or so years so looking forward to that. Couldn't care less about Goldfrapp, will probably use that time for the toliet and drink refills.  Potentially this will be the first time we get to hear a new track off the upcoming The Twilight Sad album so I'm very excited about that!

Sanchez to United makes a lot of sense but its a lot of money for a 29 year old.

[Izzy 388]

[kelley 774]

Jose's secrets are finally out!

[Izzy 388]

 

 

 

[SupahBlah 424]

No money seems good for United? I think, I am unsure who comes off better.

[Izzy 388]

I think it's a great deal, Miki has been horrible for us (except for a stretch in EL), and just getting him off the books is good enough, but getting Sanchez as well is amazing.

 

 

Gotta hand it to Raiola, apparently he proposed that swap to Arsenal, and (allegedly) he got them to increase his wages as well...   

 

 

 

Who said swap deals don't happen anymore?

[SupahBlah 424]

Slight revisionist history regarding Mkhitaryan he was boss beginning of the season and really driving United forward with Pogba.

 

The Liverpool game really broke Mourinho going so defensive that and Pogba's injury started Mkhitaryan falling out of favour.

[Izzy 388]

 

 

 

Apparently on £300,000-a-week. Bargain.

[SupahBlah 424]

Dunno who had it worse, United, Chelsea or Arsenal.

[SupahBlah 424]

Diving diving Spurs.

[godhand 153]

I feel Arsenal comes strong out of this transfer window. If this had been their team at the start they would have clinched a Champion League spot easily. 

[SupahBlah 424]

Daily reminder that it's only Everton.

[SupahBlah 424]

Well Chelsea seem to be falling apart.

 

At least in this game.
