@MHPengwingz @Astrealix And if not, may the finger of blame finally point immovably at EideFAIL

@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 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.

@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

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

@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

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

@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

@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 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” 😁

@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

@Astrealix I don’t want to end up like 80% of #Arsenal Twitter, who are apparently all the greatest experts in football the world has ever known, and love reminding everyone of it. 😀

My other issue with Balogun though does relate to whether he’s willing to stay and fight - strength in depth is great for both injury cover & competitive drive within the squad, I find Flo an unknown quantity in terms of how well he fits into the team mindset Arteta’s building. If he does, great, no Auba 2, plz

@Astrealix Oh sure. My opinion is just that, and worth about as much as a tour of Spurs trophy cabinet.

@Astrealix @little_niggle I definitely see Elneny becoming a Colney fixture, he only signed a 1 yr deal on reduced wages so I don’t think selling him is a priority. I’d rather see Flo go, probably get more for him than Eddie
