Imagine if he gets that bit between his teeth & what an option he can provide off a very strong bench if everyone is fit. What a beautiful story it would be if he can play a defining part in what hopefully will be a glorious year. The romantic in me, hopes so.

An absolute brilliant article on one of my favourite players. Fully aware how biased I am as a half Italian, Roma supporting Gooner.

Riccardo Calafiori and controlled chaos theory

White Breasted Nuthatch, seen in Montreal, Canada.

@adrianjclarke.bsky.social please could you make your brilliant videos available as podcasts. I know there is a lot of visual tactical info shown but it is still worth listening for those that can't always watch videos.

Absolutely brilliant article.

The Flowers in the Dustbin

In his autobiographical novel ‘Fever Pitch’, Nick Hornby writes about Arsenal centre-half Willie Young’s ludicrous professional foul on 17-year-old Paul Allen in the 1980 FA Cup Final defeat to West H...

Can't wait for Eze to be added to this list. Hope it happens this weekend. Roof will be blown off the Emirates.

Anyone know why the full game is still not available on Arsenal? Was hoping to rewatch the game?

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 2d

Exactly, I was thinking Martinelli, then that run by MLS. Then I thought Gabriel....it's a second half worth watching again.

Who's man of the match?

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 2d

I don't know who the commentators are on the Supersport feed here in South Africa but it's weird listening to a level headed & informed commentator. He couldn't understand the noise about Gyokeres & acknowledged the fact that he had scored 3 goals already.

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 2d

Why is Saka still on the pitch?

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 2d

I never understood the noises about Gyokeres. It wasn't like he was missing sitters & not making runs. He works really hard for the team & wasn't like we have provided him with lots of opportunities. Why does everything have to be black & white? No nuance?

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 2d

Although, maybe Nwaneri can come on

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 2d

Ha ha. Yes definitely

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 2d

I think Eze off, merino on?

@arseblog.com regarding the conversation with head injuries. Perhaps like rugby if the ball is no where near the injured player, the medical staff can enter the field to attend the player. Play only stops if the action gets close?

From the UK. I am cabin crew though. So it's part of the job. Some pros and cons. But still I felt your pain.

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 3d

Rewatched the game, you were spot on.

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 3d

You really missed out, it is one of the only specialities of Durban, if you like curry. It is a must. The only warning I would give you though, is that a Durban Curry is very spicy. They hollow a quarter loaf of bread out, then fill it up with curry. A must whenever I land in SA. Try it next time.

I love how Slot is slowly unraveling.

@philcosta.bsky.social not to reduce your ordeal of your trip to Japan. But I have to go to Tokyo for 48hrs for work. #the30 but I try maximise my time there with as much yummy food as possible. Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu. 😜

What a lovely Sunday that was. Felt obliged to watch MOTD when I landed in JNB this morning. Now for a nap. Before having a Bunny.

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 5d

We need to keep up the intensity & get that 2nd goal. Feel like we have dropped off a bit & allowing Fulham back into the game.

Cheech @saffacheech.bsky.social · 5d

Ok. I will go again in 10mins & test that theory.
