Anyone scores at will against Barca’s high line.

Pipeline is in full flow. Arsene’s vision of turning us into the new Barcelona really coming on strong. Hale End producing, we even had our Cesc moment bringing Eze back, we’re top of Europe and our league. Now just to get over the line and win all the big trophies. But I believe it’ll come.

You’re missing out. It’s an excellent movie.

One of my favourite jokes from the movie.

That’s fantastic news. We’ve really missed him.

Yeah, hopefully it’s them being smart, noticing an injury early and treating it before it gets too bad.

But it always “random”. Yep. That’s why it’s *always* me, huh? Been to the US at least a dozen times since 2001 and I’ve never *not* been stopped for “random” extra questioning at passport control.

I was thinking rest both, Norgaard’s done well in the CL and Odegaard back means we have someone who can drop deep and help him progress the ball. Myles has to play to get fitness ahead of starting against Wolves with Cala suspended so he’ll also sit in midfield and help Norgaard progress it.

Top 2 seeding means home ties in the 2nd leg of every knockout game. Gives us not only a better chance in Europe but the knock-on effect for our league games after European ties could be a big boost to our title chances. And if we do get pipped to the title, I’d love us to have a CL to shoot for.

Well I’m a brown man with a beard, I’ve never had border agents be good with me, even under previous admins. Been this way since 9/11 and it’s gonna be so much worse under this regime.

Doing God’s work.

Yeah, I want to see us defend competently, if they create something really good, so be it. But I really want a win, because I think we’ll see the benefit of seeding in the latter stages when the fixtures are coming hard and we’re in the run-in. Win tonight and it’s almost guaranteed we finish top 2.

Not sure we do have the breathing room in this game. Arteta will be targeting top 2 for the best seeding, let’s assume 3 against Kairat, I think we’ll need 20 for top 2 so we need at least 2 points in the other 2 games. I think he’ll want to win tonight rather than need a result in Milan.

Not too dissimilar. I’m thinking Merino came off at half time against Villa so I think he should have enough in the tank for this one. I reckon Ethan has more chance against Wolves, which should be an easier game than this one, and then we get a week until Everton.

I’m travelling to the US after the World Cup, in October, and this is making me consider applying for my ESTA now before the changes come, just to get it in. It’s valid for 2 years so hopefully the orange troll will be out of office when I need another.

I dunno. I think I’d prefer 0 injuries and a bunch of goals even if we concede. I just think this makeshift defence is just going to concede goals in the league so we need more goal threat to win games 3-1 or 4-2 instead of 2-0.

My bad…just read that the injury *does* have to be for 60 days. Was not what the piece I read yesterday said so I was misinformed.

Sadly…it’s not…

So much for that…
