Who is the most underated player in your native leauge?
Can they fit in our squad?
Im going for Levi Garcia From Trinidad.
6ft tall , strong and can head the ball. Plays RW and CF. Would be a cheap Saka rotation and Plan B striker.
Would give his all for a top EPL job like AFC.
I don’t understand the benefit of releasing ref audio 2 weeks after an incident…I just picture those corrupt rats sitting at a screen rerecording the audio…it should be released immediately once a manager questions a decision, even if its privately with the club!
I don’t understand the benefit of releasing ref audio 2 weeks after an incident
It’s to their own benefit. Damage control.
Tempers cool after 2 weeks, and football fans dont always have long memories. The outrage dies down, and the media circus does it’s part.
2 week later, then can still present a pretty damning clip and likely face little to no consequences.
Interestingly no audio from the Bruno incident too
It just proves they’re not serious about being transparent. If they were, they’d go over the details, release the audio, admit they fucked up and bring about change to the process.
I can’t believe Chelsea have been cheating. Abramovich seemed like such an honest guy and Chelsea has always been such a classy club with the nicest fans. I am shocked.
Not that it’s even significant or matters, but I’ll never forgive the football world for mocking Arsene Wenger when he complained about Chelsea’s doping. It’s not just Chelsea fans. It was pundits, media, Mourinho — everyone kept pretending it was okay. People even came up with cute little numbers and fake scenarios to make it seem like the ground was even for a side with doping levels of Chelsea.
The media even used Chelsea’s spending as a reason to bash Arsenal. We weren’t a serious club in the eyes of the media because we wouldn’t spend like Chelsea was spending. They were used as a yardstick for what a “successful legitimate club” should be spending to win trophies.

Man, what an amazing rags to riches story by those plucky underdogs
India spent 70m to go to the moon whilst a certain club spent 100m on a human beyblade
India always confuses me……there are almost 2B, flood every social media football page and yet they still haven’t produced a quality player
India doesn’t have the proper infrastructure for football to grow yet. Also corrupt officials. We don’t have much good grassroot level coaches and structure.
Cricket is the reason.
I think that the take away here is that football transfer fees are out of control and that we should all termper our spending expectations a bit. This much expenditure is not sustainable for Arsenal FC over the long term.
65m on…. NVM
I hate this damn international break. Just want to see our boys come back healthy and smash Brentford.
Also Ramsdale and his dad need to chill with the interviews. Not a good situation but keep your head down and fight for your spot. Forcing your way out in January may not even be possible.
Forcing your way out in January may not even be possible.
Yep. I highly doubt anyone is offering 30 mil for him in January. Maybe in June. He’s not making the situation better for himself either.
When Leno and KT weren’t getting game time their parents weren’t giving interviews.
If he wants to move it can be arranged during the window but don’t need to come out publicly like that
The two brazilian CONMEBOL qualifiers are going to be huge, especially if Martinelli is going to start in the middle as their training clips have suggested. Probably going to take a small miracle for him not to get injured considering he’s going to be coming up against a rabid Romero and an equally dirty Otamendi but it gives the lad a chance to properly announce himself for the Selecao.
Edu missed the young Brazilian quota last transfer period so I expect he will make up for it this winter
Wellington Silva vibes.
How does vieira and nelson do in the u21 game last night?
Apparently Nelson was really good, no mention of Vieira in article I read but he scored one and missed one pen
Am I the only one who finds it a bit lame for a senior player to come into a u21 match and insist on taking both pens?
Erm I kinda prefer that he takes responsibility I’d find it weird if he was letting kids take the pens off him especially when when we getting whooped (assuming from the score line)
Watched the match, Nelson was really good bar instances when he was trying to do everything himself after we went behind, but then he got an incredible assist out his attempts at hero ball so.
Vieira was basically non-existent other than mucking up two good chances to get us back in by being weak/indecisive. Not exactly encouraging.
You mean how did.
no, they meant how did they do
Howdy do?
NNT running a hit piece on Chelsea modern era. Go on king!
Forget the content, the emotions in an NNT piece is just pure quality.
Find myself agreeing with him more and more recently. I’m quite scared I can’t lie
He’s obnoxious but I do agree with a lot of his takes
His persona doesn’t win many hearts, but he’s right so much more often than he’s wrong. Part of the problem is his insistence on going all in on his hot takes (like how incredible Maguire is)
Maguire was doing well up until the United move. Who knows, what if he move to City with Pep instead. Or even recently, what if he just moved on to West Ham and worked under Moyes.
Alot of the meme mistakes looks like he forgot to defend, is it maybe cuz of the tactics or like the club being to big for him, idk.
Can someone pls link the entire thread here cos I don’t use X
NNT: Basically, everyone knows that Chelsea systematically cheated their way up in the game now.
NNT: That is precisely why they cannot be respected or compared to their more organic rivals. Their trophies and achievements are nothing but the end product of enormous financial doping.
NNT: Fining Chelsea several million pounds for cheating their way to win trophies is so lazy.
NNT: Punishment needs to be an effective deterrent. If you strip them of titles won in those cheating periods, that reduces the incentives for the next serial cheater (City) to come in.
i’ve been getting my ass handed to me on a platter at both work and school
need me some super mik’s motivational speech to keep trudging
If Arteta can bounce back from being 15th in December and not winning a game for 2 months, you can bounce back from getting your ass handed too
Not Arteta, but this is the best advice that I can offer
So Ruben Neves as a Partey replacement in January?
DOGlas luiz or Ruben NEVER? I know what I’m picking. The one with that gf 👀iykyk
have we ever been linked with Palhinha in the past? is he at all a player that we have considered?
i know the Bayern fiasco which happened; and that they may be in for him in January again - but is he a DM that we may consider at all? i know he did sign a new contract in September; and that he’s 28 - but are these reasons for not considering him; or is it his profile / role (on field, i mean)
Imagine we’d managed to get Morata on that loan deal back in Jan 2022. What a timeline that would have been.
Simon Jordan in Talksport right now. Dude is the most insufferable cunt 🤬
Stopped listening to Talksport after Woods left.
