06.08.2025 18:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Arsenal β¦. Boring, ineffective pre-season football
06.08.2025 18:29 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Crawley, Pope β¦ just not up to it at this level.
03.08.2025 11:14 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Arsenal are back π
31.07.2025 12:17 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Oh look! β¦ and again.
13.07.2025 14:22 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Thatβs what happens when spin bowling is not perceived as that important. Many times Iβve seen talented young spinners lucky to be given the βodd overβ because we have an obsession with bowling fast in this country. Our batsmen donβt play spin well.
13.07.2025 14:11 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah, agreed, not all. Heβs a Kiwi anyway!
13.07.2025 11:50 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0β¦ and then we have βbrain-deadβ batting right before lunch. This whole Bazball thing has caught up with them. The Ashes is going to be another painful watch.
13.07.2025 11:48 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The majority of them are public school boys, hence the problem!
13.07.2025 11:19 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0β¦ and neither is Crawley an elite opener.
13.07.2025 11:14 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Ollie Pope isnβt the answer to #3 issues
13.07.2025 10:58 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0That midfield has been utter dross.
05.07.2025 19:48 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0England calamitous tonight
05.07.2025 19:41 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Shame on you, Arsenal!
04.07.2025 14:04 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Just feels like a really bad fit, for some reason.
10.06.2025 20:46 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Doesnβt feel like Tuchel will be in charge of England by the time the WC comes around. Theyβve been awful!
10.06.2025 19:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Mbuemo chose Utd over Newcastle. Crazy!!!
02.06.2025 20:51 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0At the end of the day, weβre all the same, we just like different teams. Seen some of the footage from Liverpool, very distressing. Thoughts are with all those injured, hope everyone one of them pulls through.
26.05.2025 18:40 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Anyone else in the UK got American family or friends asking them to ship over products because the new tariffs make purchases cost-prohibitive?
25.05.2025 09:17 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Champions of Europe!!!!! Well done, ladies!
24.05.2025 17:56 β π 10 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Iβve got that horrible feeling of mistrust again
23.05.2025 21:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Anyone else feel the club will stick to a βone in and one outβ recruitment policy this summer, leaving us with a squad still not big enough to compete on all fronts?
23.05.2025 20:30 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Heβs already won trophies
22.05.2025 17:15 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0π fair enough when used to negate βTotal Footballβ, but donβt think that describes Utdβs play patterns. On the plus side, thatβs them down the drain and another 3-5 years of βtransitionβ. Wouldnβt surprise me if they have further massive money issues.
22.05.2025 08:06 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Better defence????? π Keep drinking the wine!
21.05.2025 21:50 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yeah definitely. Potential for 15th or even 14th next year!
21.05.2025 21:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Give him a long-term contract!
21.05.2025 21:25 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0βStill not goodβphase.
21.05.2025 21:18 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0They had no shots on target that I can remember.
21.05.2025 21:16 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yeah give him a 10 year contract!
