    Well played, that early goal was such a punch in the face. Without doubt you guys are the 2nd best team in the league.

    Reports that Martin Zubimendi to Arsenal is all but a done deal... turns out Rice wasn't quite the world class 6, eh (who'd have thought). Relieved he didn't end up at City, I thought that was inevitable

    Respect to Arsenal fans like you that actually care about trophies and don't want to lose any game to a rival. The mentality in some of your online fan base is wild. I don't get where the entitlement comes from tbh

    Hopefully our attackers want to stay in the 'prank' competition and don't miss open goals intentionally. I like that we value all competitions and are rotating our squad. I'd be disappointed if our fan base were so entitled they disregarded the domestic cups, especially in seasons where it's...

    He was bright but he needs to stay available. Will be important for us to give Mo a rest and I don't want to see Harvey out wide. I'm actually starting to think Harvey might be gone by the end of January. I would put good money that Soucek is one of the first out the door. Would make a lot of...

    There's a lot to be said for this. I found it near impossible to motivate myself to watch LFC games after we sold Torres in 2011. That transfer destroyed me. It was around then I also stopped playing and I really missed it, so that played a part I think. It wasn't until 13/14 that Suarez...

    The cracks are starting to appear in his management. The Spurs game was the worst I've seen him tactically and he was very slow to respond against United. Our performances over the last month have been well below the standard we've set. I initially put it down to losing Konate but even with him...

    Partey's been good this season, I think probably the pick of their midfielders. He offers much more on the ball than either Rice or Jorginho

    How different things could be if we signed Isak instead of Nunez. The guy is pure class. Just goes to show what great scouting can do

    Haha yeah, I remember my detailed response at the time. It was good trolling and I took the bait, fair play. You got me again :lol:

    As bad as Trent was, Curtis wasn't much better. Both the scousers should have been hooked at half time. Slot got outclassed tactically. I would have liked Endo to get involved, he loves that sort of game. Not sure how long Bradley could've played but it would have been worth the risk to bring...

    Same one that called you out on a few nonsense posts that you couldn't back up.

    Credit to United though, that was the best they have looked in a very long time. I was really impressed by Ugarte and Dalot. Will be interesting to see if they can repeat that performance.

    Pathetic comment when you've seen his defence improve out of sight this season and you wait 19 games to go after him. Countless recent articles have covered this, including https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/25/world/europe/arsenal-liverpool-trent-alexander-arnold.html - I expect better analysis...

    Can Cummins make it to the top 10 pacers ever?

    Pup would be my choice, always prioritised keeping the game moving forward and had an aggressive mindset. He had to navigate a pretty poor period quality-wise in Australian cricket. He was also very impressive through the Phil Hughes tragedy which stuck with me. I remember Warne was a big fan...

    No one said otherwise.

    Can Cummins make it to the top 10 pacers ever?

    I wouldn't go that far. Edgbaston and Brisbane tests incite PTSD when it comes to bowling tactics and field choices. He's also partly responsible for the continued selection of Mitch Marsh - that alone hurts his credentials.

    Really meaningful contribution this one, glad you made this point. Just wondering... does it hurt you to see Australian players praised or something?

    Can Cummins make it to the top 10 pacers ever?

    Bit of a silly thread given the guy has achieved almost everything in the sport. The stats don't tell the whole story in terms of importance of wickets. Cummins might not be the greatest ever, but he's phenomenal at taking wickets in the big moments. I've been critical of his captaincy through...

    I was thinking this before. Never again should he be picked now that we have Webster.
