Pedro you’ve forgotten about the le grove curse???
We all know Utd are shite but we’re not supposed to say that u til after the game. By saying it openly now, you’ve guaranteed that Antony and Maguire are going to tear us apart new one and end our season. THANKS FOR THAT
Re those rules - they nice and aggressive. Should make a visible impact immediately.
The only problem with the injury situation is when your player is fouled. Think how many minutes Saka would have missed this season whilst the perpetrator of the foul stays on the pitch.
5pm: the parade would start from Emirates Stadium at Drayton Park, travelling along Drayton Park, Aubert Park, Highbury Grove, St Paul’s Road, Upper Street and back to the stadium.
7pm: the parade would arrive back at Emirates Stadium, for a short appearance by the players on the podium above The Armoury store on Hornsey Road.
- bonus structure on International call up , assists ,goals as standard.
Arsenal fans will have to wait until the 30th of November 2024 for the Official announcement.
Many Club's have tried to poach Chidozie but his mentor is Saka . Each prospect in the youth Academy was placed with a first team player this season and they are on hand to give advice and form a mentorship. Chidozie has already instructed his new agent to rebuff all offers .
When he turns 17 the Official announcement will be made , I'm sure just like Nwaneri when we announced six months before that he had signed a professional deal . Then Fabrizio, Orstein and others will release clickbait on how he may be leaving but this is not the case they will be lying . Just like the tabloids got Nwaneri wrong.
The bond between the first team and Hale End has never been stronger.

According to the Ars.com , Jorgi has signed a contract extension.
It doesn't say for how long but I am guessing that would be for one year.
Great news to hear that he wants to carry on sharing his experience with the team.
One thing to say about Jorgi is, that it seems that he does like Arsenal.
If anyone noticed, when the camera panned to the bench at the start of the game vs Bournemouth last Saturday, I saw Jorgi singing North London Forever.
I hate Rodri's guts. But the fact that he isn't in the running for POTY is a joke. And Gabriel not being in it is equally embarrassing. How Van Dijk made it in, I will never know. Even Haaland shouldn't be in there ahead of those two if it was the best players. I accept Saka not being in there because it's not just stats. He has the same stats as Foden but Foden has played better. The same goes for Haaland. Great stats shouldn't just be the metric.
Isak too, I am not sure about. He has had a good season but him Saka, Haaland Saliba, Van Dijk are all in the same level this season for me. It was a coin toss between the 5. But Haaland, Van Dijk and Isak shouldn't have been included ahead of Rodri and Gabriel.
Odegaard, Rice, Foden, Palmer, Watkins are all there on merit for me.
Both Saka and Saliba are nominated but we only allowed to vote for one, that not good, gooners are going to split their vote between our two and some other twat will profit.

Interesting rule changes in the MLS, as you say simple and seem to make sense. They seem unafraid to make changes in the States - if they work great, if not fail early and move on. Europe incl the PL took a quantum leap (for the region) when VAR was introduced. It’s been butchered and nobody wants to stand up to suggest a solution, instead they’re thinking of different ways of justifying its success as is
That Madrid win over Bayern has to be the biggest steal of this season's UCL. VAR, for all the good job, failed me. Or maybe some aspects of the rules failed me. From Madrid's winner to Bayern's disallowed equaliser I think something was missing. Whether referee blew his whistle or linesman raises his goddam flag half a second before the ball is fired into the back of the net doesn't matter. VAR has got to act otherwise there's always going to be questions.
Concerning the new ref rules suggested this is what I would say:
Timed substitution rule: not a bad idea but we do have to take into account the seriousness of the injury. As pointed by others, if a player is badly injured, its very unreasonable to expect them to be off in 10 seconds. Head injuries is one where a player shouldn't be moving at all! So we can't be expecting the player to be up in 10 seconds as this is not the recommended procedure at all.
Off treatment rule: That is a big no. As pointed by Karl, this would deeply be unfair to have one team playing down to 10 men while the other team are still 11. This would then become a farcical strategy to hurt a player to try and gain advantage. How is that supposed to protect a player if teams are targeting each other to gain advantage?
In stadium VAR announcement: a big yes! They already do this in rugby so why can't this be done in football? The answer is simple: this keeps the dodgy calls from happening, a major speciality for PGMOL. They will be the last ones to ever accept this!!
Love the Hato rumours, would be delighted if we got him!

I would put my money on Dortmund winning the CL final. They are so solid in defence and completely no-nonsense in general.
Chido Obi Martin five year deal- excellent news!
Thought he could not sign one till he was 17

All Agreed 👍

Arsenal fans will have to wait until the 30th of November 2024 for the Official announcement.

Think Jorgi sees a much quicker glide path into a coaching gig playing for Mikel Arteta. Have a notion Jorgi's going to be a good manager one day.

I voted for Saka because forwards tend to win these awards but I have mentality of a defender and much prefer Saliba.
The Athletic on twitter -
"With Premier League Young Player & Player of the Year nominations respectively, Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard have created more chances for each other than any duo in the PL this season
Ødegaard has created 22 for Saka
Saka has created 18 for Ødegaard"

Like all three of those changes!
Ok.
