Arsenal making top 4. Auba or Saka scoring a last minute goal. Amazon writing the script.


Off topic, little worried about the Xmas games, player safety wise.

We might not make it to Xmas with all the COVID flying around. But that's was a SOUND victory over the direct team above us. We play better with a false 9 or a 9 that tracks back. Laca created alot of space out there. He was even making Partey look good.

Smith-Rowe is really real. :ehh:

Its wild too because he looks so out of control sometimes...the low socks make him look Sunday League too. :russ:

But he's the real deal. And Balogun lighting up the youth division....Arsenal might have a crop of talent that could make some serious noise. The starting 11 has a average age of like 26.

A premier league break looking increasingly likely at this point with the Leicester - Spurs game postponed now. :francis:
Should postpone till January. But then there's gonna be fixture pileups, AFCON, the new season starts earlier and there's a winter World Cup coming soon. :picard:

my new job has me so busy but saw the highlights :blessed:

And to think arteta had martinelli rotting away for awhile

Don't do that. I'm sick and tired of this narrative with Martinelli and Tierney that Fans and Martin Ape Man Keown keep on pushing. Those 2 need protecting from themselves especially after coming back from injury. They only play at 1 pace and that fast and furious and get stuck in. If they aren't managed slowly back into things they will get injured again. Yeah Martinelli could of been used a bit more this season but any Arsenal fan telling me they ain't :lupe: everytime when Martinelli or Tierney go down is a liar and I put that on grape.

Covid aside, the EPL should have had a winter break years ago. There's a reason why the players burn out with injuries so much.

This is why I say bush the league cup for years and make it an 18 team league. Those midweek slots could be used for PL fixtures. And then have the break between the FA Cup 3rd and 4th rounds.

From after the international break in November till the FA Cup 3rd it's like a third of the season takes place in those 6-7 week window.
