Well, here we are, 3 weeks after our FA Cup final win, it’s here, the season curtain-raiser… Arsenal vs Liverpool in The Community Shield.
It’s hard to say it’s not an important game. All games have a psychological value, a big win sets you up for a confident start. A big loss can send you into a nervous territory. We need a good start this season, we need to set a new tone after the horrendous first 4 months of last season. We need to signal that the new era was, in fact, kicked off with that stunning FA Cup final win.
Both teams will be unfit. We’ve only had a few training sessions. Liverpool are in the same position as us. It’ll be a leggy game. There really was no other option. If you blitz your players after they’ve spent two months playing 3 games a week, you will absolutely pay for that later in the season when you need energy in the legs.
The big worry for Arsenal is we really haven’t addressed our central midfield position. Well, we have new bodies. Matteo G is now back in the family and Mo Elneny is available and scoring goals. Doesn’t really fill you with the same confidence you might have taken from seeing Ceballos, Partey, or Aouar starting.
No news on whether Mesut will start. Though Arteta’s impassioned defence of the club for the way they dealt with the pay cuts does indicate he’s still pretty pissed about the German playmakers carry-on over doing his part. Our young Spanish coach is every bit the company man. He also said Raul left with honour, which is, errr… oh fuck it, best leave that be, this is a new season. NO GRUDGES.
Back to the LACK of players.
It is what it is. I think we just have to accept it’s really hard to operate in a slow window when you have no money to play with. Cries that Don Raul has been missed are ridiculous. Last summer was very slow to start with, then we did a financial madness that has us tied up in knots this summer.
Still, on the face of it, you can’t argue with what we’ve done so far.
Saliba, Gabriel, Willian, with Guendouzi and ESR as the LIKE A NEW SIGNING players. Feeling just like it did under Arsene Wenger.
One area the club hasn’t been messing around in is in the coaching department. Arteta is bringing in names that he likes. The two latest are Carlos Questa and Miguel Molina. Both look like the new breed of young coaches that are starting to make their mark on the game. They come from Atleti and Juventus, Dom from the podcast I recorded the other night tells me that Cuesta is a bit like Rene Maric in the sense that he made the opportunity himself by writing and doing analysis online that attracted attention. Not sure which coach it was, but a journo once asked, ‘how did you make it as a top coach without being a top player’, and the response was, ‘I had more time to study.’ You’ll see more of that. We’re moving into a new era of coaching. Bold ideas, great with data, deeply into psychology… major fucking geeks. I LOVE IT. Just gotta hope it all works out for Arsenal, can’t have everyone calling me a hipster melt when we’re bottom of the league in January.
‘WE NEED SEAN DYCHE IN THE BUILDING’
Some disappointing news coming out of the club that Emi Martinez will be exited if the right offer comes in. Raul had him down for £20m, but the club might have to accept as little as £10m. Think this is being driven by the player. He doesn’t want to sign a new deal unless he’s #1. We won’t give him that luxury, so he’ll likely go to Spain. Good luck to him.
Feels a bit shit that a player can be instrumental in the club’s success, then get bombed off… but you can’t ask for ruthless behavior then get angry when it happens to your fave. Martinez has a small sample of games to choose from. Bernd Leno has been consistently great for longer. We are skint. Life goes on. Let’s hope we get a decent back-up keeper. Someone that is huge, loves to catch, and can pass like a hero.
Arsenal Twitter sleuths have just noticed that Leonardo, PSG Sporting Director, followed Hector Bellerin. OMG.
Wolves moved on Doherty onto Spurs for £14m. I suspect that’ll mean Wolves up the offer for AMN. Again, I’d be sad, but if the cash is going to get mainlined into our midfield, I’ll accept the exit with good grace.
Right, on that note, I shall bid you farewell. Enjoy the game today. Football is back. Let’s hope it’s a fun game AND MORE SILVERWARE!
x
We’ve proved we’re good with the top 4 sides, now we need to do the same to the other 15 sides.
Why indeed do we want two consistent performers sold?
Out of spite I guess, nothing to do with bringing in better players and balance to the squad.
Did they just win the Champions League?
AMN to @btsportfootball: “I’m an Arsenal player until I’m told otherwise. My heart’s in the club, so I’m gonna give 100% while I’m here, and that’s that.”
FFS
AMN has Salah in his pocket again.
Winning is a habit and a mentality… we need to keep winning to rebuild our fear factor.
Have to say loving these kits even more now.. Looks like we are covered in winning red streamers all the time.
Another trophy won with Ozil not even being on the bench. Bad time indeed for Ozil fanbois.
What are the chances that Elneny will impress Arteta and not go on loan, more so in this type of uncertain window.
Brilliant. Well done to the lads!! 🏆
Klopp’s anything but classy when he loses a game that actually matters.
AMN for £20m? Tell Wolves the price just doubled.
If they are willing to pay £40m we can start talking…
Sell Elneny and Kolasinac for £10m each and keep AMN.
AMN valued at 15 m is a joke
Klopp is a sad cuck when he loses an important game. It’s Community Shield so he decides to act like a cool bruv.
Winning is a habit
AMN going nowhere, Auba our supposed bottler against them big teams to sign a new deal!
The new rule,for penalties gravely disadvantages goalkeepers.
The penalty will be retaken if the goalie saves the ball wand moved from the line too early.
There will be very few penalty saves this season.
@ Dissenter.
Still flapping your gums on the evaluation of Maitland-Niles?
The internet is really a wonderful place
Charlie
To raise funds you say. Well all for raising funds but AMN and Emi should not be ones to be offloaded. Looks like we are tageting Auoar and Partey. If we sell Torreria, Guendouzi, Lacazzete, Kola, Sokratis,Mustafi and Elneny, we can raise enough funds to buy our two midfield targets. If we are still sort of funds, sell Holding too but not EMI and AMN.
Xhaka was nothing more than a plodding mass of crap today in the midfield .., he must be sold … we can’t progress with this dude in the lineup
We have to reconsider selling AMN. He’s looking like a very good player under Arteta.
He’s not a starter by any stretch but he’s the consummate squad player. He has that Milner grit and versatility.
How can we keep trashier players like Kola and sell AMN.
You must be nuts to think we will offload lacazette. In some games auba will be tightly marked, you’d need the hold up play in tight spaces. Nketiah cant do it. Elneny was good but anyone thinking he can do Xhaka’s job did not watch the game well. Elneny doesn’t play progressive passes. I think he is better in that role than Ceballos though
Martinez continues right where he left off, the AMN’s haters have quietly exited the space and Arteta continues to find a way against the big sides.
Really hope big Stan decides to back this side, were at THAT moment.
Lol @ Dissenter.
What a joker
Quote impressive we beat Liverpool without our more established players – Pepe and Willian – friendly or not.
I’m not expecting a title challenge but we keep this going we’ll finish top 6 no doubt and win the Europa.
On the downside I can’t see Willock and Nketiah being anything but squad players. Can’t we have better squad players?
Can’t believe people are moaning about Arteta on here ridiculous chat ffs
Godfather
AMN Is a good player. We made it harder for him once we brought in Soares.
I’m conflicted about this one because we have to sell players to buy.
Some of your commentary during the game was bizarre, can you walk in a straight line at the moment?
Our performance was overall very positive. It was good to see that we had created some decent build ups and attacks. And we defended very well overall.
But I do hope that this game is considered as a stepping stone to playing even better than that. And I really think that Arteta knows this.
*Quite impressive*
TR7
Arteta has already said he’d prefer to keep these players, the fans are the same and everyone knows there’s others we’d prefer to lose.
But it’s top tier ignorance to think that’s the only way the summer can/should play out. The factors involved are plenty, and of AMN and Emi aren’t happy with no guarantees on playing time you’d rather keep them than sell and use the money to improve?
Explain that sense, you don’t get to have your cake and eat it too at every opportunity. Just isn’t reality.
This Willian signing looking even more ridiculous after this excellent performance,
Where does he get in?
Absolute folly to give him a £35 million package.
Godfather your comments are a joke
I really want us to keep AMN after his midfield performance today.. Must be able to offload some other players!
Okay, should have engaged the God+father
The God+father, are you Uruguayan bulldog/Aubergine
Your erratic aggression has given you away. Why don’t you stick to one moniker
CG let willian package go man we need a squad there are a lot of games to play
Very good outcome considering the lack of preparation and absence of players. My personal view is: Martinez must remain at club and keep his starting spot. It would be criminal to offload our longest serving player. AMN. I have to say that he had a good game today. If he continues to play like this we should keep him. Nketiah. His finishing is not clinical enough. I need to be convinced that he is a starting eleven player. Holding. Frankly I would allow him to leave. He is not good enough. The club needs to finalise contracts of Aubameyang and… Read more »
Emi just proved why he must be No 1. You can’t play out from the back with Leno in the team
The stats might not back me up on this but I think Willian adds more to this side than Saka. Willian would have played the position Saka occupied today.
To raise funds you say. Well all for raising funds but AMN and Emi should not be ones to be offloaded
Both are considering their futures unless they’re considered starters and both shouldn’t be considered starters. It’s that simple and all in could fetch upwards of 30 million which could help other areas.
Edu needs to step up and start convincing Martinez and AMN that their future is with the Arsenal.
We need to keep our talented youngsters if we can’t operate as lavishly in the transfer market!
@ Dissenter stop frothing at the mouth and hearing voices in ya head.
Ya big mouth has exposed how clueless you are.
Yeah I’d advise Arsenal again, if you are gonna sell Maitland-Niles , he is much more than £20 mill!
Next time I post, maybe you should pipe down and stay off the keyboards
Lovely day!
AMN and Martinez CANNOT leave.
Very pleased we will be competitive this season.
Yep a couple more big signings and we could have a storming season. Still a lot depends on Auba. If he has already signed da ting then he must be happy with the plan. I enjoyed that more then I thought I would. You can’t deny Arteta has them all pulling in the same direction and we are more solid all around. Just need some quality additions. Think Gabriel might be a done deal.. so Midfield next.
Nketiah and Willock ate championship level players who should be nowhere near the first team.
Talk to me guys, how are we gonna fend off Real Madrid and Barcelona from the Egyptian Kross?
Mad to think he will be PFAs player of the year …
Brilliant game, lovely result. I hope we have a plan that isn’t Nketiah if we’re offloading Lacazette to be honest. Lad doesn’t quite have the finishers instinct for me and looks lightweight too and no this isn’t based off today’s game really. Really no need to sell any of out goalkeepers unless they’re putting in a transfer request or we get a very good bid for either of them. Looking forward to seeing Willian actually play for us, feel he’ll be very good too. Good game from Saka, you can see he’ll grow with more experience and age. Hopefully one… Read more »
Martinez and AMN improves the squad overall quality and I feel it will be a shame to let them go at such low price.
There are more deadwoods and dross that should be considered to be sold first. Look at all our surplus CBs and impotent MFs.
If we are going to be serious competitors in the league as opposed to one off cup game we need a strong squad and not just a decent starting eleven.
At the moment I think that we have decent resources on the books in goalkeeping position, defence assuming Gabriel arrives and up front.
Our current shortcomings are still in midfield. If we can bring in two top quality midfielders I see no reason why we cannot compete with teams like
Liverpool and Man Utd.
CC ‘But it’s top tier ignorance to think that’s the only way the summer can/should play out. ‘ There may or may not be any suitors for Sokratis or Kola for that matter but there will be clubs which will happily buy Torr and Guendouzi. There will surely be a club at least in EPL which will spend some money to get Holding. Laca too will find suitors if we need to unwillingly sell him. So I am not quite building castles in the air when I say we have players who can help us raise some funds. Surely our… Read more »
There’s a good poster with that ‘Godfather’ moniker
Now he has to contend. with Aubergine/Uruguayan bulldog/Big Perm
Aubergine, stick to one moniker because your stupidity always gives you up regardless of whatever fake handle you’re using.
“If we are going to be serious competitors in the league as opposed to one off cup game we need a strong squad and not just a decent starting eleven.”
A midfield would be a start. The forward line has decent options, the defence has some good options with another strongly linked, CM is currently non existent.
If we must raise some funds, of those played today, sell Elneny, Kolac and Holding before looking at Nelson, Eddie, and AMN
Martinez must not be sold. Who’s the Brentford guy again reported in the media?
Double Martinez’s wages to 40k pw to start with and play him until his form drops which would happen from time to time. Leno can then take his chance …
I feel comfortable when Martinez plays esp. with crosses flying in left and right! I feel exactly the opposite with Leno.
“but there will be clubs which will happily buy Torr and Guendouzi. There will surely be a club at least in EPL which will spend some money to get Holding. Laca too will find suitors if we need to unwillingly sell him. “
Torreira and Holding are attracting loans, not permanent transfers.
Laca and Guen can raise money, but how much? Partey and Aouar are roughly 80 mil. What do you then do about AMN and Emi who want guaranteed game time?
Pedro 29/8/20
“AMN and Martinez CANNOT leave.”
Pedro 17/2/21
“AMN switched off again today and cost us important points”
He’s nowhere as good as he’s rated on here – if he was there’d be clubs offering a lot more than £15 million.
I know it was only a glorified friendly and I know the players were not 100% at it, nevertheless, to see Arsenal play with such discipline, cohesion, unity, efficiency and, dare I say it, professionalism, is a joy to behold.
MC, Chelski and Liverpool(x2), proves that we now have a coach that knows what he’s doing and has the respect of his players.
Well done Arsenal, well done Arteta and, as far as le-grove is concerned, well done Pedro.
17/2/21🤔
Evening, Can’t read too much into the game, but great to get some silverware in the cabinet. Few players missing for us so think we definitely have room to improve, when the likes of pepe, willian, etc, come back. Emi was great, two solid saves and sturdy as anything. Should start against Fulham. Thought bellerin played well and amn was best player on the pitch. No way should he be moved on. Thought arteta got the tactics right, but should have subbed ten minutes earlier, players were badly flagging and you could see the bindippers equalizing a mile off. Cedric… Read more »
Marko ‘Both are considering their futures unless they’re considered starters and both shouldn’t be considered starters. It’s that simple and all in could fetch upwards of 30 million which could help other areas.’ You have already made up your mind that EMI and AMN should not be starters. I know you really really dislike AMN but he is proving many people including you wrong. I don’t know whether anybody else sees it but AMN can be a terrific player and the 20M that we might sell him for may look like a paltry sum of money in hindsight. EMI for… Read more »
Cannot believe the in-game negativity from some of you. We were playing a strong Liverpool line-up who actually had more time to prepare than we did. Very proud of the team even if it really doesn’t matter much in the scheme of things. Have to agree on AMN but it sounds like all the royal fuck-ups over the last few years in the transfer market along with the Covid crunch has caught up with us and we might lose him to strengthen in other areas. -I’m no fan of Eddie and he’s still more of a cup player than a… Read more »
2 trophies in a month. Arteta is rocking the Emirates . Quite an intense game for a preseason match tbh . Glad we won it . Dont believe the papers or twitter , AMN is going nowhere . I thought Bellerin had a good game as well today .
“Xhaka was nothing more than a plodding mass of crap today in the midfield ”
Today?
Well at least we can rejoice in him being one of the outstanding midfielders we’ve seen at Arsenal over the years. I mean in the Annals of Arsenals central midfielders he’s just head and shoulders above Vieira, Cesc, Petit, Silva, Rocky, Davis, Thomas and of course Ian Selley.
lol Marc fabricating post just to prove his point
he flourish in this system so letting him go without even the added English premium would be foolish
sorry I’m all for the sentiment of our academy players playing for us
Salah actually looked like he was getting over Covid?
Also, it really feels like every club other than Chelsea, the Manchester teams and PSG are dead broke.
It’s also hard for teams to offer improved salaries to potential new players as they are all juggling their finances. I’m wondering if the Gabriel deal (and maybe Auba too) are being held up by our own financing issues. If we thought we could get that quick 20m injection of cash from AMN maybe we misjudged Wolves interest level.
If we sell Laca to raise funds, need a replacement 2nd striker in. Can’t count on Eddie who’s a 3rd in line at best. I’d even sell if someone pays £20m+ sell on, or loan fee +commitment to buy. We know Arteta thinks otherwise about Eddie but results speak for itself. What’s he doing relatively well?? May be heads the ball better than Auba… Edouard at 22 would be great if we’d get him for under £30m? The other end of the spectrum , even Giroud would be better than Eddie at least with his flicks and header! But expensive… Read more »
Sky well on the ball with there reporting?
Bernd Leno, on his return to the team following a knee injury, began a seven-pass move playing out from the back as the excellent Bukayo Saka found Aubameyang in his favoured left-side position. For the goal.
JAC
AMN will go to a team below Arsenal and a few years later will make another drop down.
If he was an overseas player £15 million would be seen as amazing business. He made a handful of good appearances – all since he declared he wanted to leave.
Got RVP suddenly staying fit when he’d decided to leave written all over it.
JAC
“lol Marc fabricating post just to prove his point”
I’ve told the site before I’m a Prophet for the Football God’s.
It’s not a fabrication it’s a prophesy.
Gk position sorted, but Emi has to stay. Forward line sorted with Auba, Saka, Willian, Pepe, Martinelli as the main stays. Defense is sorted but AMN needs to stay. We now need a good 6 and 10 to partner Xhaka. Therefore, we can raise funds by selling/loaning Kola, Holding, Papa, Chambers , Torr, Guen, Elneny, Laca. Absolutely no need to sell Emi, and if AMN has to be sold then for fucks sake please get more than a measly 15mil.
CC I read Florentina is willing to take Torr in a loan plus obligation to buy deal which is as good as selling him. Payments are anyway received in tranches, so a loan with an obligation to buy isn’t bad at all. Ideally we should be able to sell a player of Torr quality. Worse players have been sold in transfer market for better money. Laca plus Guen should get us 50M and I am being conservative. If we sell Torrera and Holding, we reach 80M needed for Partey and Auoar. Even if we fail to sell say Torr or… Read more »
Problem might be, the players who we would not want to sell will probably be the ones we can get a decent transfer fee for like AMN and Martinez and the ones we’d not bat an eye if they left might not fetch us any money as it’ll most likely be loans so what do we do really? Keep said players we’re getting money for and go again with what we have? Or take the money and improve that midfield of ours that’s crying for help? It’s all good saying we can get money for Torreira and Guen and Sokratis… Read more »
no point in restructuring the backroom staff if there’s no improvement on the squad so I think we will see more OUTs soon
just keep those that have improved under Arteta coaching, in this case AMN too
Send Willock out on loan, or sell.
Keep AMN.
Eddie has something.
Trying to work out what though.
I wouldn’t Buy another striker if Lacazette leaves and we are signing a CAM/CM like auoar hoping to play Willian LW then I wouldn’t buy another striker. I would just tolerate Eddie as backup till Martinelli returns. We need balance and I would focus entirely on midfield and may be backup LB if kola leaves. A decent midfield and we might be a genuine threat for a top four spot.
TR7 I love that you think Arsenal have dominion over every club in the transfer window to be able to dictate all their transfers with absolute certainty. Wolves want AMN now, if we say no as we wait to try and sell others what stops them saying fuck that and buying an alternative? Then when we don’t sell who we ideally want to sell, Wolves have moved on, and no club AMN wants to move to are in for him in the last week of the window what do we do? Because our refusal to deal with what’s on the… Read more »
Arteta with nearly half the first team players won against a Prem winning Liverpool side playing a near full strength team with 4 or 5 days of training. I would say – ‘Be excited’ Auba scored a beauty again. Do someone here still believe Auba cant perform against big teams and in big games? Amn with a solid 90. Looks like Arteta has crafted a specialised role for our LWB and LCB. When we have possession in the first phase ( i.e when we are playing out from the back) Amn drops into the midfield forming a 4-3-3. He tried… Read more »
Regarding Transfers, I think we need to make tough decisions. We need to restructure our midfield early even if it means making sacrifices. Get our targets in early and we can talk about who we prefer to let go then. We need to generate enough cash first.
Tierney is our Robertson, he’s that good.
I’d argue he’s better technically even if he’s not as robust as Robertson yet.
Marc ‘AMN will go to a team below Arsenal and a few years later will make another drop down.’ I think you are massively underestimating Amn. Sure the sentiment shown by some here after reports of him leaving came out were overblown but Amn can be a crucial asset to any top team. For Wolves with Jonny out he will most probably be starting games and if he is able to improve a few aspects of his game at Wolves I think he will be a very good player. Maybe even a top 6 Prem quality if everything works out… Read more »
It would be a shame to sell AMN and keep Bellerin and Soares.
WE I think if Tierney continues growing with this pace he will be the best LB in the league in the next 2 or 3 years and top 3/5 in the world. I really cant figure out a weakness in his game as a LB yet .Maybe heading but still he gives it all even in that department too and never shies away. Speed , crossing , first touch , passing , dribbling , explosiveness , mentality , bravery , passion . He’s really got it all. Even players like Auba have some weaknesses in their game. But Tierney. Absolutely… Read more »
“Regarding Transfers, I think we need to make tough decisions. We need to restructure our midfield early even if it means making sacrifices. Get our targets in early and we can talk about who we prefer to let go then. We need to generate enough cash first.”
One of the most confused comments I’ve ever seen.
Are we our getting targets in early and then talking about who we sell or generating cash first?
Didn’t see the game, but good result nonetheless.
To be honest, every time I’ve watched Eddie I’ve been underwhelmed – I don’t rate him.
How is the Balogun kid that Brentford are looking to snatch?
Should rethink selling ANM…at least for another season. I’m sure his value will double
I read a comment that Willian would play where Saka played. Not sure if the gent watched the match. There was 3 clear goal scoring oppty created by sake in the first 35 mins.
Auba – took one so pretty good.
Eddie — clear chance inside the box. Had time and if he just fizzed it it would have been 2-0.
Eddie — clear chance just outside the box.
I bet if the 2 chances either went to Auba and Laca we would have been 2-0 or 3-0 easily today because of Saka.
Wasi
“Maybe even a top 6 Prem quality if everything works out .”
So AMN’s not going to be picked up by Barca, Madrid, PSG, City etc any time soon?
Not what you’d think by some on here – exactly what position is he best in?
We still need a dm and cam.
Ceballos isn’t a cam he is techincal midfielder.
We need a playmaker so we don’t just go through the fullbacks and have some diversity to our attack.
We need a dm because we our soft as shit in the middle.
Ideally we have a ball playing dm with technical excellence and the engine of a box to box midfielder.
Window close October 5,
Sell:
Kola
Douzi
Laca
Sokratis
Torreira
Elneny
Loan: Willock and keep ESM, Chambers, Holding and Ozil with surely having to take some of that wage on.
Buy; Aouar, Brozovic (unlikely) back up to that would Rodrigo De Paul, Partey, Fekir, Soumaré.
.
Charlie Again if out of 7-8 players we can’t offload even 5 then well I don’t know what to say. I don’t remember you envisaging such a scenario ever before wherein we would fail to offload the likes of Torr, Guen and Laca. Pretty much every transfer related post of yours in the last 2 months had these 3 names in the exit list and it’s only now that you are doing a what-if analysis on the feasibility of us being able to sell them. Laca is a regular starter for us. Guen was a regular fixture too until the… Read more »
Captain tierney and we
Tierney biggest weakness/only notable one is he is injury prone. That’s a pretty big weakness to have.
Love the player and the footballer though.
Good for AMN called up for England duty for first time.
if we sell laca we can’t start eddie he isn’t very good at all. I was no fan of welbeck but even he was better.
I think if martinelle was fit then it wouldn’t be as bad without laca, but even then does martinelle have the physical strength yet to lead the line game in and game out.
^Raul Sal-llehi^
Can we just appoint you for the gig Sal in all seriousness?
Would be a near perfect window, I’d add in another CF if we were to sell Laca. Don’t trust Eddie who for me doesn’t look cut out for the top level and after that you’re relying on Auba and Martinelli who is coming off of a serious enough injury lay off not to mention who is still only 19.
AMN star does seem yo be on the rise I think we see what he can do this season at the very worst we sell him for double next summer.
I have seen the future and the future is……..
El Neney!
TR7 – Arteta said after the match AMN needs to show that commitment every three days, rather than once every three months. That kind of sums it up if even the manager has question marks in that respect. Also, he is only a serious defensive option as a quasi-wing back, where can couch in that area and use his spindly frame and pace to good effect. Also left-sided seems to suit him better because he can be extremely safe with his passing, whereas on the right he becomes more expansive and the shanks become a regular occurence. To be clear… Read more »
CT
Yeah the boy is class and I love his attitude, he’s a bit of a throwback to the older no-nonsense footballers like Robertson too tbf.
Hilarious that Scotland NT have an identical predicament to ourselves [ROI]. Their two best players by a distance play in the same position at LB in Robertson and Tierney.
Just like Ireland with Coleman and Doherty at RB.
Great match, perfect result. Fantastic Sauce.
Chelsea in 2005 had Makalele.
Arsenal in 2020 has XhakaNeney.
WOAB
The Dog and Duck on Hackney Marshes had some piss head who couldn’t see straight on a Sunday morning in 2005 – I’d still pick him over Xhaka!
