To me every time it reads "Get the fuck outta here," especially with the facial expression that goes with it. I've been in New York too long.

Sometime when you really want to boggle your mind, look at the astonishing list of ABSOLUTE FUCKING DIRGE that we signed under Ashley, and the fees we paid for them, and think about how much whinging he did about not being able to wipe our own noses or whatever the fuck it was. The extent of the no-namers that briefly wore our colours really has to be seen to be believed. We spaffed a hundred million pounds on pure dogshit trying to find bargains from France and Belgium because we once lucked into signing Cheick Tiote for 4m and wanted to replicate that twenty more times.

Matty Pattison made 10 league appearances for us - ugh. I'll throw Hendrick in there too as he was fucking awful and a classic Ashley signing. Siem de Jong, Henri Saivet the mystery man, Kenedy (second spell), Thauvin and Cabella...the list goes on. Geremi I actually consider better than several of those, at least at the start of his time with us.

Meanwhile, yet another article on Sky Sports about how he would be the perfect solution to Arsenal's striker problem.

Shola at Hartlepool, 2012. I remember very little of the match, but I definitely do recall a delightful little bairn on his dad’s shoulders loudly insisting “the referee’s a seal!” and giving the Vs throughout the game.

Plenty of pink seats on display too, can’t imagine why. It’s almost as if Arsenal are actually not a good team and have been riding the general shitness of the other “top” teams and living off the red shirt rule. Or maybe they just go off the boil every time they play us because the Saudis have paid them off. :shrug:

Of course it is, but they couldn't give it quickly enough. If that had been given to us they'd be at the fucking monitor for three minutes debating angles and intent.

The best team in the cosmos have somehow struggled to make much of an impact so far. Wonder why the greatest African ever to live, pipping #2 Nelson Mandela and #3 Mansa Musa to the title, has done exactly nowt. Maybe the bald Dutch genius Arne Slot, the heroic tactician and heir to Clough, can figure out why his side can't win a header against a 5'5" centre half.

Shitting it throughout the second half. Some credit has to go to Amorim for identifying the problem and immediately remedying it, but the damage was done (and it was his own barmy idea to select Casemiro and Eriksen in midfield against Bruno, Joelinton and Tonali - anyone could've seen how that was about to proceed.) But we've done it again. 3 points off 4th, 5 off 2nd, Eddie Howe's black and white army!

Suicide football there at the end, that's how they'll get something out of this. Howe will know that and will be blistering our lads up and down the dressing room. We have to keep the pressure up because these are there for the taking.

Hauled off after half an hour, good Lord.

Trips taking the piss there.

You've seen United, now fuck off home!

If that's a prelude I hope this Mazraouhi character is ready for a long night. Just got taken to the cleaners.

Goal goes in, commentator immediately starts talking about Isak transferring to another club. Fuck off.
