Arsenal FC Thread

[S E P H]

Lots of injuries which is unfortunate. As @S E P H said in a different thread, the PL doesn't matter, get as healthy as you can for the Europe League.

Tierney is a huge loss, but for Europa the one I am hoping comes back is Luiz since we've actually been missing him a lot when he went down.

Malaria?!? Did he catch that on international duty or vacation?

He caught it on international duty with Gabon, but I think it was in the Czech Republic instead of Africa if I recall the story correctly.

Nearly 20 000 people outside the stadium

 

[Power Man]

Took them long enough

 

[Halladay]

It is really loud there. When hey were interviewing Chambers on the field you could hear them.

That was actually quite impressive how loud they were considering that interview was inside the Emirates.

Before people get too happy about Spotify getting involved. Spotify is a company that many artists and publishers do not like. They do not pay the right royalties for songs they play. When they should be paying saying $1 in royalties, they are in fact paying $0.10. There are a lot of law suits in different countries trying to close the loop holes that allows spotify not pay the right royalties

I don't think people care really.

I don't think people care really.

As you said many times. All these rich people are shady anyway. There are levels of shadiness, but Spotify cannot be worse than Kroenke.

Many clubs are owned by shady and shitty billionaires, but sports fans generally at least want one who cares about the club and the on-field product. Kroenke doesn't suck because he's the worst person of all owners, he's far from it, he sucks because he doesn't invest much behind the scenes and clearly wants to pull profit out of the club instead of making a top sports club.

Nah he’s closer than far lol

He caught it in Gabon but was in Prague when his symptoms started because it has a long incubation period. You can't catch malaria in the Czech Republic.

I mean that isn't too far off what other streaming platforms give other artists. Plus it's far and away the most used platform as well.

While I am not musician I know a lot and most of the money is given to the publishers of the music and not the artist or writers of the music. For everyone $1 that an artist would get from traditional sales or reproduction or rebroadcasting of their music..they get $0.10 from spotify for the same amount of sales

sheds some light but if you look around the internet you will find case studies about the problem with spotify and how it pays artists--not publishers but artists

loool

Just another reason we ought to have kept Emi

 

[The Abusement Park]

loool

But their allure!

 

[S E P H]

Do we even know that source? Not surprised, we had the same thing happen under Wenger when players just get fed up with the lack of success and move on. I wanted Martinez as our #1 though, he's so much more commanding in the box and less prone to mistakes. Leno is the better shot blocker, but not by much. Leno's entire career has been pretty much Leverkusen, Stuttgart, and current version of Arsenal lol. Yikes, can't think of anything more bad than that in terms of failed expectations.

 

[Evilo]

Probably got blamed by Arteta in the lockeroom after the latest blooper.

 

[robertmac43]

Alrighty let's play the yearly game; how would you fix Arsenal?

Who's coming in and out? New formations? etc. Let's start the new rebuild!

 

[AB13]

What I do if I'm the Arsenal director today:
Hire 1 of Gasperini, Nagelsmann, Ancelotti, Potter, Fonseca, Allegri or Howe, maybe Jardim, and then give them *time* as they have actually earnt it

That should get us top 4 next season with what I believe is a very, very talented set of players. Sign Soumare in the summer, along with a creative player. Blow the budget on those two and maybe get another CM, a Goalkeeper and maybe a fullback. Leno is nowhere near good enough.

Line up like this

Sczeszny

Celik - Saliba - Gabriel - Tierney

Soumare - Xhaka

Pepe/Saka - ESR/new creative player - Martinelli

Aubameyang
