Chris Richards and Takehiro Tomiyasu playing together warms the cockles of my cold dead heart

I know that not loving Argentineans is kind of in vogue right now, but we shouldn’t let that cloud our judgement into thinking that Julian Alvarez isn’t REALLY FUCKING GOOD. The dude is a game-changing talent. If we wanna win the CL, we gotta find a way to roll with dudes like that.

Ah, the rampant anti-Argentina rhetoric is back, baby! Ban them from the next WC because of two players fighting and milquetoast banner! But their real crime? Winning a couple games of football that it was looking like they weren’t going to win!

It seems as if the Pep magic is gone and that city will regress to their mean. I’m reeeeeeally looking forward to this season right about now 😍 #Arsenal #champions

I feel like it’s important to remind everyone that without THAT Martinelli PL goal last season, there’s a real possibility that we don’t finish as champions…

The “I could win a point against Serena” rhetoric is exhausting. People don’t know tennis. She could double fault! Boom, that’s my point! In an actual rally? No, I’d die. But that’s not the question!

I’m gonna do an elaborate “Parent Trap” setup where I try to get Arsenal to send players on loan to RBNY. Ethan would do well with a spell in North America, I’m gonna say!

It’s painful to admit, but the pool of world class left wingers who will be an upgrade on Martinelli is painfully small. Then the probabilities come into question: is it more likely that we land one of them, or that Martinelli makes the leap to the next level? #Arsenal #randomthoughts

I live an Argentina-coded life, but Cuti is better than we give him credit for and he’s not the WORST option for Arsenal as a depth piece… *ducks*

Part of me thinks Arsenal could REALLY get the job done and sign Vini. But a larger, DUMBER part of me feels like this might be a psy-op on the part of Andrea Berta with the goal of normalizing the idea of superstars possibly moving to Arsenal. Either way, I’m good 🤷‍♂️

The Arsenal hate is the clearest example of “they hate us cause they ain’t us” I’ve ever seen. There isn’t a non-oil club in the world that wouldn’t trade places with us right now. #COYG #Arsenal
