Just realised Keira Walsh didn't get nominated for Ballon D'Or. What does she have to do lol

Question for y'all: Nketiah or Jesus to start after the break?

[–] darkufo@fosstodon.org 4 points 2 years ago

@Astrealix @GunnersBot

Eddie for me for 60 mins, then Jesus to run them ragged for 30.

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nketiah, he has shown no reason to be benched and Jesus will need the extra time to get up to speed

[–] WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social 1 points 2 years ago

@coygsu @Astrealix did a rewatch of the last 20 mins of the arsenal Man U game; crazy how Declan went from absolute scapegoat (gave the ball away for garnacho dissallowed goal) to total hero (game winner). If that garnacho goal stood I’d be curious to see how rices performance was viewed. Anywho - doesn’t matter because we WON!

[–] TrustTheProcess@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Nketiah till 60. Then let Jesus bring the chaos when the other team are tired.

Wonder if we will see Raya before the first Carabo match? Maybe Raya at Everton and give Ramsdale our first Champions League match back.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, Everton is an away game, so I'd rather have Ramsdale XD Plus the PSV game is home as well. I know it's been beaten to death but Ramsdale is something else away.

[–] WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@Astrealix @ironeaglebird agreed. I almost wonder if they could split home and away games (Raya home and rams away)

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That I still think is an eh idea, but idk if it's just cuz it's such a unique idea lol. I worry about the chemistry between the keepers and the backline if we do that.

[–] WorldcupCSR@arsenalfc.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@Astrealix yeah there’s a reason why no one does it but I don’t think it’s makes any more or less sense in playing PL vs cup competitions. Both seem a bit arbitrary.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The difference is though, in a cup you'd not play your first choice back-line. So unless we plan on playing like Gabriel away and Kiwior home, I feel like that chemistry is the problem XD

[–] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I did like the Raya was in the team huddle after we scored goals against United. Looks like he's feeling more at home.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah he definitely seems like he's blending well with the squad. I mean more on the pitch though — like, so as to not have Saliba own goal type situations lol

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The inside corner on the 7 on my Saka kit is starting to fray. Given that's an official kit from last year not even that long ago, that's very disappointing tbh

The back of the kits is the worst. I wash my on delicate, basically by itself, and it will still start to wrinkle.

[–] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What setting have you been washing it on?

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

some like "normal" one in whatever the washing machines at my dorm do, I forgot the exact wording of the thing.

[–] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, I've always gone for 'delicate' and washing them inside out with only other arsenal shirts. I've not ruined one yet, but I have so many that none of them get worn too much. Honestly it's getting to a problematic level, definitely more than 30 now....

[–] TrustTheProcess@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I do the same thing

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Once again there be interest in Pepe from Turkey. Wonder if they follow through though.

[–] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

We'll get one kebab and have to pay all his wages and be grateful for the opportunity

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

imma be real — TIL that the frimmy we see with media ain't Emmanuel lol

[–] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Didn't he seem a bit out of shape to you!?

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

He's been retired for a few years I dunno XD been ages since I thought about him

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Hahahaha, I remember having to break this to my mate a year or so ago

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Fabio Vieira now has the same number of PL assists as David Seaman despite >300 less games according to Orbinho

Clearly the goat cuz obviously only goals and assists matter /j

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Gabriel to debut for Brazil tomorrow. Good!

[–] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Someone built an automod for Lemmy: link to post

This could be useful?

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not sure how mention-based pinning matters compared to just pinning ngl XD otherwise, what we need most is just posting match threads which this can't do anyway :P

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Remember how I said one of my professors told us to watch 3B1B? Now one is using ChatGPT to help explain discrete math...

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Tbf he did also point out when it was speaking nonsense, but like, why bring it up at all?? it's the second lecture. Just don't use it if you need anything that's truthful XD

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Amrabat is injured out of his national team. Can't help but feel a bit bad about United's injuries this season so far lol. Then again, they also pay Greenwood, so not too much. Wonder if O'Driscoll has anything to do with it ngl.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Hot take: if we end up with 5 CL spots after the new format comes in, it should go to the FA Cup instead of the league. Fourth place being better than the oldest trophy in the world is already kinda sus, but fifth place would be an atrocity.
