Lifetime contract IMO.

Always good to see them lose but it would be nice to have them to play more matches before they go out of the CL. So the answer is yes.

I'm fully Finnish, I'll think about it in the sauna.

Funny, because it's true. πŸ˜‚

He should have laid on his back in a submissive position and allowed the goalie to rub his belly. Then he'd gotten off with just a warning.

Remember, a soft penalty is still a penalty.

It's become a theme.

Last game in the premier league besides Man City that worries me. The Toffees have been one of the better away sides all season.

That being the case a lifetime contract for him IMO.

There's also a world in which City go out at the quarter final stage of both the Champions League and FA Cup and fade from the premier league race in the season's last two months. This all happens after they lose the League Cup final.

Was.

So we should hope City get past Real so that they have to play -- and get knocked out by -- Bayern just before our league match with them in April.

Better yet, Port Vale in the final.

09.03.2026 19:19 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Anyone else fancy a visit from Port Vale in the FA Cup quarter finals?

It's been our due, been shockingly unlucky the past few seasons.

Arsenal have won 35 games in all competitions this season. They've only won more in four previous full seasons.

41 - 1970-71
39 - 2001-02
37 - 2003-04
36 - 2007-08
35 - 2025-26, 2004-05, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2016-17, 2018-19

Should be.

Still on for the quadruple.

Are we only allowed to win easily against Sp*rs? I'd enjoy giving a side a good thumping for a change.

Better since Hincapie came on. The goal sapped some of their confidence. Get another early in the second and can cruise from there.

BREAKING via Reuters

Never EVER forget Sp*rs fans wearing City shirts against City. Celebrating City goals against their own team. Son & Pep laughing after F/T after Son's 1-on-1 miss in the last min. Don’t forget. That inbred fanbase deserve EVERYTHING they’re going through at the moment. Fuck them!

I've been loving it.

Don't make me choose.

So true.

Forget the new manager bounce, at Sp*rs you get a new manager thud.

Controversial? We’ve complied with financial fair play rules, had zero red cards, we’re top of fair play table, been awarded only 3 penalties, never surround the ref, we have best goal difference, we’re 16 points ahead of 3rd place, top of CL table, and provide 4+ members of England squad.
