Crabs and rice... I'm Asian so that is a great meal lmao

Same, sounds delicious

If not ethnically Asian, but Australia is part of the AFC so…, anyway crabs and rice is delicious, especially with a little chilli

Am I the only one who isn't liking the media discourse about Rice being the future captain? A bit disrespectful to Ødegaard who is the captain isn't it? Let him perform first then speak.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I completely agree. It’s one thing when the current captain is older, so their could be a passing of the torch. But they’re literally the same age.

Leaders across the pitch. That seems to be Arteta’s style.

Wonder when we'll get the confirmation on Xhaka leaving... I'm not ready

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Neither... I will admit there was a period where I felt like him leaving was the right time. But, I'm so glad he stayed.

He's been one of the more solid and consistent players over the last couple of seasons.

I love the guy :(

Why haven’t we signed Timber yet, EduOut /s

I knew it was only a matter of time, and that City/Bayern wouldn't "over pay" as Rice isn't worth that much to them, but he is to us.

Should be an interesting season given the quality and depth we have, just hope we can avoid the injury bug so we can make another run at the title.

Wonder how Arteta lines us up and who will play where.

Hands down. I still always felt like it was City's title to lose. Yes we were in prime position to win, but Liverpool went toe to toe with them multiple times and only won once.

I'm incredibly happy where we are right now. We've established some nice groundwork to try push for greater heights! :)

Also, genuine question, I've heard TalkSPORT is kinda trashy and click baity. Would that be correct?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Of course it was City's to lose. First off, barely anyone predicted us making top 4. Once we started the season and we were on fire it was "Arsenal haven't been tested". Then came the "they can't keep this up all year", followed by "Without Jesus they will fail".

All year people were quick to dismiss out success and now it's either we win or it's a failure. I can't believe people get paid to talk such nonsense.
