Well then you haven't had the success in the first place, so there is nothing to diminish...

The success of others does not diminish your own. I'd be very happy for them, knowing the elation I felt when we did it.

Defending 8/10. On the ball ability 2/10. Not good enough - we need an upgrade.

Christ alive you're irritating. Amartey did nothing wrong and actually snuffed out a couple of attacks pretty well when he came on. Removing James from midfield cost us. But because you said Amartey was shit 12 months ago, you've got to make everything fit that agenda. I don't think he's a world beater, or even merits a start for us, but I'd hazard a guess no one else on this forum does either. Give it a rest yeah?

Getting it smashed onto your hand from one yard is not a pen. Controlling a 50 yard pass with your arm is a foul. I agree however, we should not have let that third goal happen regardless, poor defending.

That one hurts. Some of the intolerable bellends on here will try and blame Amartey but he did nothing wrong. If James was spent Shakey should've brought on another midfielder, so he takes the blame for this one. No need to bring on Nacho. Arsenal absolute spawnbags once again. Deserved a point there at least.

His dad is a PE teacher at my old school, he's definitely local.

I think both will have a significant part to play this season. It's so refreshing after years (decades?) of mediocrity or worse in that position to have two genuinely talented players to pick from.

Is there any update on the old perjury business?

With a sell on clause, we're not obligated to accept any bid. With a buy back clause, we are.

I don't understand why James is so bad at shooting. He's a technically proficient player and yet appears to have a brain fart every time he tries to pull the trigger. Baffling.

Shit it may have been, but all of us who are sad enough to stay in on a Friday evening and stream that shite deserve no better.

For sure. Looks significantly more comfortable in himself in this position than any other he's played for us.

Especially if mahrez goes. I don't see how he doesn't merit a place on the squad. At the very least, he clearly provides some creativity going forwards.

I think you all need to calm down a bit. This is a pre season friendly. It's a fitness workout and a chance to try some new combinations. We've clearly been the better team even playing in third gear, and we've got a good few games left to bring everything up to speed for the new season. Lighten up!
