Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[MikelArteta]

I should be happy but winning this isn’t a good omen. Nah, a trophy is a trophy.

Here's the thing. Arsenal fans KNOW we would have given up after going down 1-0 to City last year. The fact we can sub out players and still equalise is a great sign.

As long as he keeps scoring

ibrahimovic kept scoring and he was a far better all around player

He played badly yes but was he THAT much worse than Bayern as a whole who barely hobbled over the BL title on the final day? I think not.

What’s the context to this video and what are they singing about?

after world cup win 2014.

song: "germans walk like this (upright ubermensch-lich), argies walk like this (untermensch-lich)"

Ibra was a POS... his attitude in the dressing room is what made Pep bench him
Erling seems like a nice/cool dude

Ok, the window is still open right? It’s not too late to still buy a striker. Please Arteta.

Maybe they can push for Kane
There are no top strikers for sale tho. If they were, you think they would have bought Havertz?

I’m not a scout but I refuse to believe there isn’t a gem with potential out there. No way was Havertz the best we could do.

Spoiler: a long time ago ...

he shouldn't go to Bayern though.

he's gonna find out

then ....

how do you know he's having a hard time in Germany? where did he state this?

Mane has played in Austria and France before coming to England. I dont know where you get this idea he is being mistreated.

that doesnt equate to mistreatment....Though his numbers are generally good from what i've seen and the analysis his overall play is lacking so he's getting criticized for it no more no less.

so ...

let's see what breh says after he leaves.

from today:

"But Mane's PR manager, Bacary Cisse, has insisted that the German giants forced him out - because he was paid too much for an African.

"It wasn't a footballing decision (to sell him)," he told After Foot RMC.

"Sadio's salary bothered the Germans, they didn't understand how an African joins the club and becomes the top earner ahead of everyone, so they wanted to get rid of him."

Bayern refute 'baseless' suggestions that they got rid of Mane because he's African

Bayern Munich have refuted suggestions from Sadio Mane’s PR manager that they forced him out because he is African. The former Liverpool star made a high-profile switch to Saudi Arabia this s…

Hey, Salah and KDB were Chelsea rejects. Maybe Havertz will surprise us.

I think it was a waste of money

Then how can they show it on espn+

This is FA though.

you both missed my point

They care more about showcasing La Liga teams because they have a TV contract with La Liga.

They don’t have that contract with the Premier League, so they have no interest in hyping up their teams.

If ESPN had the premiership TV contract, this match woulda been on ESPN proper.
