Morning all. I see Saka played a full match. Is it too much to hope he gets rested for the next one?
Dont mind Saka playing and getting back to form.
I dont know what it is but somethings off.
He is in two minds sometimes and the chance is gone.
The weather in Paris is a lot better than in Malaysia….
Class, if you’re about, name your place and time and I’ll come up for a coffee.

They could have only expanded by going downwards and the nimbys who live round there would've complained anyway. Also they might not have been able to expand laterally underground because of the proximity of the tube and the actual above ground railway as well as high-rise buildings with all their concomitant underpins and isn't there a river round there too or have I imagined that ?
The entire point of the new stadium was to increase our spending power so when it was paid off we would've been in a better position to sustainably bolster the squad going forward. I can only imagine...
Yup. Wenger is a bit of a "tragic hero" in that respect. But it's incredibly vindicating for him to have signed Mikel, who captained that squad to 3 FA Cup wins (and our first trophies post-stadium move), only for that captain to ultimately succeed him as manager and win the league (post-stadium debt repayment). You can see him smiling internally while those wankers are questioning him.
Wenger did stay several seasons too long, but he'd be even more vindicated (with not achieving the full complement of trophies he might've, had he not had to operate within those tight financial restrictions), if Mikel builds a dynasty of success. 🤞🏼💪🏼
The entire point of the new stadium was to increase our spending power so when it was paid off we would've been in a better position to sustainably bolster the squad going forward. I can only imagine how galling it was for him to have put in all that effort and grief and finally get there only to find clubs skirting that effort entirely. financial doping indeed.
https://youtube.com/shorts/UjvuiiZOgZ0?si=…This is one of the reasons I am so happy we beat ¢heaty before any points deductions, etc... to vindicate what the club stood and stands for when it dismantled the Invincibles and funded the new stadium. We built on those foundations to be able to compete at the very highest echelons, on our financial steam. ❤️
Here's the article the guy was referencing but it's paywalled
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…Incidentally that chart of the hidden payments vs real commercial payments is hilarious. The question about whether ¢115eh suddenly went straight since 2018 that chart makes it look like such an absurd suggestion.
The video guy said it, "if they are able to prove that the Abu Dhabi govt are funding this stuff directly, then they're good"
So it could be nonsense but I've heard others say similar.

What worries me is where he said a state could legitimately fund a company to do exactly what ¢114eh did and it would be fine. 🤨 If true, that part is shocking and seems like it could open the door to a lot of horrible things in the future.
Full Time North Macedonia 0 Jocks 2. Not a great game, North Macedonia were clueless going forward.
He comes off the bench. He scores. It's what he does.

This is from the Scotland game. Awful pass from Andy Robertson resulted in a Scotland player being sent off.

Excellent, thanks BA I'll check it out.

Kovacic yellow this we like to see
Lovely intercept from him there. And say what you want about Kane, but he gave Saka that shot.
He owed Saka that one, shot straight at the goalie when Saka was better placed to score in the first half

Modric going off to be replaced presumably by someone whose legs still work.
Kane 5-0. He had to race Gordon to get there first. Nice through ball by Saka leading to the cross
Nice to give the Croates a good pumping.

Croatia have been absolutely pants. Sitting here with some grassroots club coaches ans we can't believe wamhat we're watching from professional defenders.
Nice run to get into position to tap that in, but other than that not really been much of a threat.
16 was marking Saka but Saka stood still while 16 moved towards the ball, leaving him unmarked.
Croatia will come out fighting in the 2nd half. They’ve been a bit embarrassing so far. They will want to restore some pride.
Could suit England to hit them on the break run up the score. Could be 7 or 8.
Let's face it. Croatia being forced to play Perisic and Modric says it all. Great players in their day, but you can't carry two veterans at this level.

I don’t think he’s been that bad.
But they can afford to give him a rest now.
And he scores!!’
THE CURSE LIVES!
That was Quansah. TAA on the bench
My bad, I was just going by the commentary, they must have messed up. Either way the cross was perfect.

Gordon's not a moron! 3-0!
Anderson sends one into the car park!
The kids are very good at booing. I bet they’ll keep it up for 90 mins.
Gordon just hit the keeper when it looked impossible not to score.
Gordon would be fucking unbelievable for us on the left
I’ll admit when he went to Barcelona I wasn’t that disappointed, I was never that enthused by him, but i seem to have been proven wrong
I'd take him no question

I know what you mean, but it's good and worth a listen. There's stuff in there you won't have heard anywhere else.
I am sure you are right, I just don’t have the patience (I very rarely do podcasts, made an exception for the PA-featuring arsecast, which already took me too long as I had to rewind several times when I was not focussing enough).
I think I am saturating with c114eh stuff. Fucking interlull. They’ll have to find another long interlull to announce the sanctions.
Glad I have got another gig tonight to forget about it all.

Haha. I see what you did there Ollie!
Konsa and Saka start for England. Eze and MLS on the bench.
Game kicks off at 5pm.
Saka's Nations League sojourn seems to be the opposite of Gyok's, in that he seems to have been playing himself out of form. Shame they can't just give him a break. In this match too - playing in front of an audience of 500 children and 200 England fans.
Plasma TV you say?
My Panasonic plasma tv is about 20 years old! VIERA model. Tough like PV4 himself.
Snap!

Just came on here to say that I've just finished listening to the Latte Firm podcast featuring The Magic Hat (Arsenal-supporting guy on Twitter who has been following the C114y case from the beginning) and it's a really good listen. The best one I've heard about all the Sham stuff, in fact (sorry Blogs!) It's on YouTube and Spotify.
My kitchen appliances, all Zanussi, are still going strong after c.20 years, and my Samsung washing machine after 12+ years.

Heh, I remember the model well as it came out when Paddy was at his arsenal peak.
All this talk of shoddy appliances makes me grateful for the set I have. Maytag dishwasher, Frigidaire washer/dryer and fridge, all house originals, must be 20 years old at least

"spunk!" Ha ha. That arsecast with Philippe was a good one. No spoilers except to say it put many a smile on my face. It's well worth your time.
whilst listening, I was walking through a path in my area, so engrossed in the conversation, not paying attention to my surroundings, I suddenly caught movement ahead and found myself barely a dozen feet from a mama deer and her fawn. eek! [backs away slowly] 😂
"with that kind of time and space in the Premier League"
I was going to reply that to hazza yesterday. That other goal for Vik last week, a good finish, to be sure, but the space he had was astonishing. He doesn't get anything like that at home.
Arse!

I heard that story on this American life podcast - I never felt so old
On the subject of our left wing, another potential solution could be to switch Saka, who often attacked down that side to great effect when he played Left Back for us. Or to play Saka and Madueke with...
Yeah agree. Also Dowman can play on the pitch at same time as Saka . Two diamonds
Saha left , Dowman right wing , with noni as well.
No suggesting max for 90 minutes.
But at some point Saka and dowman will be on pitch at same time regularly..

Bosch series 8 washing machines are made in Germany, the rest of the series are mainly made in China and some European countries.
Same with a lot of their tools and white goods.
I see Dowman was sent off for the England U19s.

I only go for German or South Korean appliances now. The rest are seemingly programmed to conk out three weeks after the warranty expires.
I usually trust Japanese appliances too
Interesting. What are the South Korean brands?

All the washing machines are made by the same factory in China and deliberately engineered not to last much over 5 years. The exceptions, they said, are Miele and Bosch which are made in Germany but cost twice as much. Of course, this could all be nonsense, I don't believe everything I see online.
