How long before โ€˜TV offโ€™ in this Newcastle v City game?

They absolutely went for us in our game - theyโ€™ll roll over and have their bellies tickled today.

Do you think itโ€™s a level of arrogance? Ignorance? What is it? Itโ€™s so weird that they had a platform to build in the summer and just went full โ€œnah mate - just do all the goals in the attack, itโ€™ll be fine, weโ€™re Liverpoolโ€ ๐Ÿคท

All they did is metaphorically go โ€œnah - weโ€™re Liverpool mate. Central midfield? Not a problem. Whack Gravenberch in there - thatโ€™ll doโ€

It kind of feels like arrogance to not address some of their deficiencies.

โ€œWeโ€™re Liverpool, weโ€™re awesome, weโ€™ll just lean in to our attacking awesomeness and everything will be โ€˜tip-topโ€

Liverpoolโ€™s whole season has become the โ€˜Aubameyang/ร–zil post contractโ€™ season.

I for 1 am delighted because of smugness of Slot last season and his constant โ€œlosers make excusesโ€ narrative.

Mate - you had a once-in-a-lifetime season where EVERYTHING went your way last year

The press conferences are done, weโ€™re a little clearer on whose around for the NLD (sort of) Having spent the whole week lamenting the massive injury crisis that surrounds the North London Derby this weekend, both Arsenal fans andย them got a bit more of an inkling as to how actually it's not ...

The press conferences done, so what do we know about who is around tomorrow? Sort of...a bit...kind of....not a lot...I don't think anyone expected different though. But here are some thoughts on both pressers anyway - www.suburbangooners.com/2025/11/22/t...

I see this and being the person I am, rather than take comfort in it, I merely think "I bet this effing weekend it'll be the 13%, won't it?"

Tale of two NLD injury squads isnโ€™t what we all suspectโ€ฆ Firstly, a tip of the cap to the Arsenal Women, who beat Real Madrid again in 2025 in the Champions League. Nice work ladies! Always good to see. As for the men, well, they'll all be back now and the...

Think there's more than meets the eye with these two 'injury hit' squads. We know we might be getting one or two back, but The Scum are getting almost all of theirs back for Sunday I think. Some thoughts - www.suburbangooners.com/2025/11/20/t...

This morning I was brushing my teeth and thought โ€œbet Ornstein drops a sadness bomba on us re: Big Gabiโ€

Feels like when it comes to injuries thatโ€™s what weโ€™ve had for about 18 months.

Me no likey.

The goal Eze scored, plus the positions he took up and the fact he replaced Rashford, makes me think about how he's going to need to carve out his own way of playing the different positions he does for Arsenal this season - www.suburbangooners.com/2025/11/14/e...
