Considering there were clubs still trying to sign Goodwillie, for a lot of people still in the sport all that matters is that they can kick ball good. That needs to change. (Tbh our club can also do a bit of self-reflection as well)

Tbh I think I've come to terms with the fact that clubs won't consider the ethics of playing criminals. The mentality at any of the biggest clubs is win no matter what. You can't seriously expect a club to consider anything other than their image, finances and potential public backlash compared to the benefits of playing the player in question.

Looks like you got out in the nick of time.

Yeah, if I flew a day later I wouldn't have flown all weekend with how the typhoon hit. Folks at home are saying it's as bad as Mangkhut was

Not kidding, Luton fans at home are louder than a packed Etihad.

Rob finally gone...will always remember his first goal after the new hairline 🤣

Still can't believe Declan Rice is an Arsenal player, we have been blessed these few years under Arteta

This will also serve as a transfer deadline day megathread cuz I can't exactly update on transfers from a plane xd Also hello from Dubai!

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Are you flying Emirates? :P

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Yes, actually XD

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It's the best balance between price, timing, and length. I get 4 hours in Dubai and then go on for about a day in total, but cuz I start at midnight HKT and timezones, I land around 2pm which is quite perfect.

Oh that’s actually great!

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Yeah, means by the time I get out of the airport and stuff I can just check in to the hotel I'm staying at until I can move into my dorm, then just grab dinner and conk out

There is a guy opposite me at the gate rn wearing an Arsenal home kit from last year lol

It's such a nice kit

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Worth noting that the WSL doesn't close until the 14th, so we're not gonna see a conclusion to the Earps stuff today.

Also some outgoings could still happen after DLD, as usual

Waiting for Orny to drop a bomb

IMO a LB would be best, Tomi is alright at LB but not great when he needs to invert

Though I trust the gaffer lol

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Will we get an Ornbomb this time? I feel like incomings are all done.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I don't know, but I certainly won't be here to experience it given I get off the ground probably before negotiators are gonna be awake

ironeaglebird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

5 hours to go. If an Ornybomb is coming its being carried by a stealth bomber.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Here's a fun fact: Nick Pope has more xG this season than Mount and AMA. Apparently he got a header in a corner and Mount/AMA haven't had a shot I'm guessing

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Pleased to report that the Arsenal kit is for sale and on display at Dubai Airport XD

And the away kit but not the third kit

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Yo this commentator on beIn be calling Auba "Aboomeyang" 🤣🤣🤣

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Question: would you guys want me to keep the posts at around this time or switch it to EST? I can do both probably, ignoring jet lag lol
