@nuggsy Me too. As someone said on Threads, the accident does show how physically intimidating the squad now is. Probably moved Vieira for his own protection 😁
@nuggsy@GunnersBot The Merino injury a freak accident, but at the least bad time. 6-8 weeks out during which there are TWO breaks for international🤮🤮 football minimises the damage and ALMOST makes me grateful for that abhorrent abomination. Almost
@Astrealix@Aesecakes I've only been following the women's team for 2 seasons, about 1.5 seasons more than necessary to have had enough of Eidevall, but who would be credible contenders for an upgrade? Leah's "my home" signing spiel makes it possible the decision to make Emirates the women's official home ground played a part in her decision. It also suggests the club is really serious about the women's team, so they absolutely deserve better, imo
@Astrealix I am just thrilled that the first Arsenal game I've been able to watch this season is in the lovely 3rd kit and not the eyebleed yellow pukefest
@kleautviool@I_am_the_grass Football needs more Benjamin Whites - I just love so much that for him football is simply his job, one he's very good at, and not his life and/or his reason for being
@Astrealix@throbbingpens The Tigray crisis has killed WAY more people than the Russia-Ukraine war but gets very little coverage in the West, despite the efforts of the head of WHO to keep it in the public eye
@Astrealix@kleautviool I see Wrighty has a bust, a nice compromise, perhaps?
Personally, although I have VERY fond memories of Walcott's Arsenal days, I don't think he makes the cut for the sort of truly iconic status required to be made into a literal icon
@WorldcupCSR@Matt_Sams_314@Astrealix That's what I was thinking - a magnitude 25 on the Richter quake as Gooners the world over literally rofl. To borrow from Bill the Bard "tis a consummation devoutly to be wished" 😁
@Astrealix @GunnersBot
@MHPengwingz @Astrealix And if not, may the finger of blame finally point immovably at EideFAIL

@nuggsy @MHPengwingz That's an amusing typo at the end, kind of apt for the mess Chelsea is in😁
@Astrealix Hong Kong? Amateur league! 😂 A game that starts at 9pm HK time starts at 2AM here
@thatdosbox @Astrealix Try living somewhere where 7AM would be a dream start time, a rare and precious treat 😊
@sensiblepuffin The freeway crossing seen in Bowfinger is in my top 5 comedy scenes evah.

@MHPengwingz @WorldcupCSR I am beginning to wonder whether Ramsdale killed Arteta's pets

@coygsu @Astrealix A sample of 1 is a very narrow base on which to insist there's a problem with a process

@z2k_ @kilcal lots of bottom dwelling northerners forget the Shaky Isles are not less than 2 hours ahead of the Prisoner Island

@WorldcupCSR @Matt_Sams_314 @Astrealix What would that mean for them if he said "hell no, I won't go"?
@Astrealix @throbbingpens I like the 3rd kit, smart move releasing it when many will be desperate to expunge the nightmare vision of the away kit
@Astrealix I wouldn't hold your breath, seems like the PL will do anything but
