  1. All ticket/travel information thread - 2023/24 edition - Please be careful purchasing tickets

    You’re not. You can apply for 6 together. As in 6 ST holders in one application so sat together.
  2. Is Southgate underrated by the CAF?

    I don’t think so. The fact he brought on Sterling instead of Rashford who was on the form of his life vs France in the World Cup quarters was shocking. The World Cup semi vs Croatia was piss poor management from him too by not giving Vardy more minutes. He got too much criticism for allowing...
  3. Is a yellow for taking off your shirt the most stupid rule in footy?

    It’s a bit ridiculous if it’s about time wasting. Especially this season when they just add the time on now. Considering the amount of time they waste for VAR sometimes, it’s hardly much of an inconvenience when a player takes his shirt off.
  4. Would we ever avenge the 7-0 in our lifetime?

    Think about the hurt. Klopp’s farewell tour, 120th minute goal, Liverpool were 3-2 up only to lose it in the final minutes. Knocked out the cup. This has hurt them.
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I’m still on the fence if I want to keep Hag or not. On one hand; he did great last season with some great football (at least until Feb 2023), played some of the best football we have seen at Ajax, handled some bad situations (Ronaldo, Sancho) very well, bad luck with injuries, no great...
  6. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    He’s basically the FDJ signing we dreamed of and more. My favourite player currently with Garnacho. A pleasure to watch.
  7. Chelsea face new questions over how Roman Abramovich funded success

    I do wonder how the league would have panned out without Chelsea and City’s money. Would we have had a Bayern like monopoly? Would Arsenal stayed elite? It’s quite an interesting butterfly effect.
  8. David De Gea | 2022/23 Performances

    I am a huge fan of the lad, but if we want to go to the next level we need a new number 1 to at least compete with De Gea. I am not even that fussed on the 'ball playing' part of being a goal keeper, but if we had a keeper who could command his area, and gather up crosses it would make a huge...
  9. Fantasy Premier League 22/23

    I am looking at the exact same move currently. Bruno has a better game week next week as well so it might be worth a punt. The thing with Bruno is he either comes up big or does nothing (in terms of FPL). The Arsenal lad is on form though and does play up front. He wasnt picked for Brazil so...
  10. Christian Eriksen | 2022/23 Performances

    This was a huge problem for us when we lost our heads especially. We couldn't keep the ball for more then 1-2 passes in anyway or form. I will never go re watch that match in my life time, but I am 99% sure that nearly every time Wout, Garnacho, Fred received the ball, they gave it straight...
  11. That RW position - Still up for grabs

    I think the manager is trying his best to build a squad currently. If you look at all the forwards they can currently play multiple positions. Ideall our strongest team currently for the manager is- Rashford Wout Antony But we can rotate in Garnacho and Sancho as well. So we have good...
  12. Frenkie de Jong - Part 2 - Chase Harder.

    He's an interesting player. If we can get him without the Saga of last summer I would 100% take him. WIth Eriksen out, I do feel like we miss a good link player between Cas and Bruno. He is a player who can easily fit in with Cas and Eriksen's positions. We are 100%, 1 player short when it...
  13. Fantasy Premier League 22/23

    He was great for me for 2 whole weeks and has cost me massivly in the past few weeks. Really annoying as he was my differential for a bit!
  14. Fantasy Premier League 22/23

    Most people look to have gone with Saka as captain. Hopefully Halaand captainers like myself can take advantage! Are people looking to bench boost on week 29 with all the doubles? I am struggling to get in more then 10-11 doubles at the very most. I dont want to pick up too many players which i...
  15. Fantasy Premier League 22/23

    TAA could be a good shout as captain. He is starting to pick up on the assists trail. Odegaard is another one. I'm not 100% sure but I am pretty certain he has gathered up more points then most Arsenal players lately.
