Arsenal need an in-house facial hair stylist/consultant.

If the Red Sox trade Duran now, there might be actual violence in the streets

Before anything happens or doesnโ€™t, I freaking love Trossard.

Thatโ€™s just what new parents look like

Weird that only oil clubs get bailed out like thisโ€ฆ

Chloe Clutchy or Clutchy Kelly? Canโ€™t decide.

Maybe pens arenโ€™t Arsenalโ€™s strong suit

Itโ€™s Arsenalโ€™s womenโ€™s world weโ€™re living in

I feel like thereโ€™s a cohort of Prem teams that only buy players with hyphenated last names

Weโ€™re at the squad-building stage where Iโ€™m annoyed that other teams are buying 50 million plus players even though we donโ€™t need them. Is this how hoarders feel?

Was the shootout just to kill any fleeting joy we may have felt?

Bregmanโ€™s legs mightโ€™ve cost us a win tonight. #redsox

The problem with Shane Gillis is he will tell the most obvious, least-clever, non-subversive, juvenile joke and then stand there like heโ€™s really done something when no one laughs.

The obvious mistake was leaving four Arsenal players on the bench.

Let ten months of self-inflicted anxiety BEGIN!

Whenโ€™s our annual 3-1 loss to a Championship side in a closed-door friendly? Feels like the season canโ€™t start without it.

Sinner was really really good.

Thatโ€™s Dr Evil money weโ€™re paying for OS.

Masterful. Good fit. B.

Feels like every English paper I ever wrote.

Yeah fine, but I really want Eze.

If only heโ€™d have played at the same time as Penix

Weโ€™ve had ranked choice here in Maine for a while now and if you didnโ€™t know already, it is everything. Go get some in your state.

Itโ€™s too hot to have an opinion on another Celtics trade

I bought some magnesium hot chocolate that also works wonders. I think itโ€™s called Moonbrew.

A great way to get more Americans into soccer before the World Cup is to invent a new, very expensive other competition thatโ€™s played on weekday afternoons with 10-0 or 0-0 results only.

17.06.2025 19:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Well thatโ€™s some specious reasoning. I just donโ€™t like the money grab, the host nation (at the moment) and the complete disregard for player health. More of a FIFA indictment than a club affinity post. I didnโ€™t even know a team could qualify that way honestly.
