Will never understand how he was allowed to go all of those years dangerously backing under players leaping for a ball and risking head and spine trauma. And the diving for fouls and penalties.
Can’t even put it all down to just being England captain anymore, as we’ve just seen Rice (England captain in waiting) get fucked by refs.
It's funny when some people can't have a go against Partey now are saying Ode is not good enough. You just can't satisfy these bunch of "fans". Ode is absolutely a gem and easily walks into any top team in Europe. End of discussion.
Nobody is looking at Partey as a long term Arsenal player. I'm defending him for what he gives us now, in the situation we are in and against posters and Pedro being vastly disrespectful to literally our best midfielder since the start of the season. Things like "I don't want to see him in an Arsenal shirt ever again" and this from Pedro "Thomas Partey is killing us. He is the new Elneny, that’s where he should be now he’s done".
Partey is being underappreciated (vastly).
A huge chunk of the Arsenal fans think Odegaard is our best/most important player. Well, imo, this right now is the best Arsenal I've seen in about 15 years (at least). We've been spectacular to watch. Our attacks have been so varied, we are no longer lopsided (to Ode's right side), we are creating for fun (a record xG vs Leicester according to understatdotcom), we defend incredibly well, we are a menace in transition, Martinelli is back to his best, we just beat up a top European team and we played in 2nd gear. Without Odegaard in the team.
I am not gung-ho either way, but my take is that we can give credit to Arteta for figuring out how the team can cope with Odegaard's absence [no small feat considering how vital he is], while recognizing that there are s few players whose absence may impact the team more than him - Saliba, Magalhaes, Saka, Havertz - and Rice. However, my hope is that Arteta has a plan for any of those five - and I think he does.
Via TNT:
“Bayern Munich hadn't lost a UCL group stage game for 41 matches before tonight.
The last manager to beat them was Unai Emery.
He's done it again”
Loving the new CL format so far.
Bayern + Real Madrid both getting done away, and Atletico Madrid taking a hiding in Portugal.
What a save emi Martinez and what a job Emery has done for them over there, big result that one
This Duran guy might actually be the next superstar striker.
Villa's scouting has been super duper elite
Duran for 14 million with add-ons
Rodgers for 8 million, with add ons
Both are serious good players.
I expect that all four of the premier league's clubs in the CL will advance
Same for Spurs and United in the EL
Chelsea will win the conference league
The PL's coefficient will be high enough to get that 5th PL spot for next season.
English Blood & Thunder versus a German Machine. This game is on a boiling pot
How does Kane always get away with stuff.
That’s a tackle a rugby player would be proud of … and they don’t even show him a yellow.
Last season he got away with a blatant elbow to Gabriel that would’ve seen anyone else cop a straight red

Playing for Arsenal cancels that out I guess.
This Bayern - Villa game is a decent watch.
Gnabry went for glory instead of passing to Kane …. Loved seeing how angry that made him lol

Caught in 4k.
That’s a pretty hardcore way to enjoy your sherbet
Villa ahead v Bayern lol.
Never mind. Offside.
No
Villa and Bayern playing very suicidal high lines
If Ode was truly a 2 footer he would be a class up. I get Monreal vibes when he only uses that left peg. 90 percent of time.
we do need another CAM beside Ode. We are make shifting now, but who is his real understudy? is it Nwaneri?
Feynoord winning at Girona. No excuses for us not to. And we have to win the Shakatar game after the international break as well.
Our 5 hardest fixtures first:
Atalanta Away (2nd seed)
PSG Home (1st seed)
Shakhtar Home (2nd seed)
Inter Away (1st seed)
Sporting Away (3rd seed)
When I seen the 3rd pot, Sporting away looked the trickiest fixture we could have got.
But we get our 1st + 2nd seed games out the way first, then our hardest remaining away fixture.
After that at least on paper, our remaining 3 fixtures aren’t too bad, with 2 at home to Monaco + Dinamo Zagreb.
Would be good if we could make the Girona away game redundant, which is on the Wednesday, as we play City at home the following weekend.

I hope I explained myself well.

This is it really.
The problem with Odegaard is, he cant slap errant team mates with his longstuff. Thats why his country man was tapping Generationals backside
You really are a fucking bore Sidney.
