Wonder how the new rule changes will affect teams like Newcastle. Possible 20 minute stoppage time?

No World Cup today or tomorrow; should be fun on Friday though.

It's been a great tournament so far. The Australia game is right before Arsenal on Saturday afternoon for me, so BBQ in the yard with a couple of mates - hopefully it turns out a perfect day for weather & football results.

How bad is our social media team?

Google Pixel announced the deal with both Arsenal and Liverpool concurrently.

Liverpool's announcement video looks like a high end tech ad while ours looks like a high school video project.

You weren't joking lol. I could've whipped ours up on my laptop in like 20 minutes. Graduation slide show vibes.

Pool's looks like every other high end tech ad, which arsenal is fully capable of. I actually really like the real/personal feel of ours.

Plus there's a picture of Win, so we have no basis to criticize 😅

Lens is apparently in the race for Balogun.

[–] Astrealix 3 points 2 years ago

Lopetegui's gone; fuck Wolves ig lol

Balo would have been a great signing for United. They would be able to pay a decent fee as well.

But it seems they were in the mood to throw money away.

I'm flabbergasted that no Prem team has taken a shot at him. So many need strikers.

Also, those Bitello rumours died down pretty quickly.

[–] I_am_the_grass 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder if we're struggling with sales to fund the deal.

[–] Astrealix 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Think it's more like the Aaron Hickey links. Wanting to get that PL money. Most of the links were on the Brazil side — I don't think I saw a single link from our big sources lol

The Arsenal on the verge of breaking FFP - I used to pray for times like these 🥹

Better players = a better team. We signed a great keeper and sold an okayish one. We're now a better team.

[–] Astrealix 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Feel like okayish is underselling Turner, he's a decent keeper. Arguably good. Certainly better than some of the other backup keepers we've had over the years.

[–] Arsenal4ever 3 points 2 years ago

Turner is good. Raya is better. It is easy to say we undersold and overbought everyone because we're not objective. We're fans. We got the price someone was willing to pay, at a time when the team knew we had to sell Turner. So bad planning. I think we got a deal for Raya.
