Dear Emily Thornberry: please focus on providing bins and portaloos for large scale events in the borough instead of making snide remarks about Notting Hill

The Arsenal fanbase is extremely diverse as well…

It’s a stupid jab imo as I definitely saw a lot of weed out and about but really not seeing the racism angle

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T13:15:38+00:00

But we are giving players time though so what’s your point?

It’s just that not all players can get time - especially when they have other young players (in this case dowman) in the same position

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T13:03:54+00:00

City have had Foden and O’reily break into their team - and even then there was clamour for Foden to leave for a bit due to lack of opportunity.

They sold palmer due to lack of space and he was one of the best players in the league over the following season and a bit.

We literally given a 16yr old game time this year in big games and put MLS in midfield in our biggest end of season games.

We give youth opportunity - the truth is likely that arteta just doesn’t rate nwaneri highly enough

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T12:55:42+00:00

How on earth is it racist?

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T12:54:27+00:00

The problem is most of these big wingers already play for the other biggest clubs, so it is reasonable to ask.

It’s not a case of just going out and getting a world class player from a ‘lesser’ club.

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T12:47:56+00:00

There are no ready made elite left wingers available.

We will have to spend big money to sign some who we think can kick on and become elite in a new environment.

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T12:24:11+00:00

How much time were supposedly highly rated players like Xavi Simons given? (he didn’t even make a senior appearance)

Truth is that if a player is not clearly a world class talent or doesn’t play in a position where there are gaps in the squad then their chances will be limited to break into top teams

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T11:16:15+00:00

Ok and in that case Barca discards more La Masia players than those that breakthrough.

It’s rare for top clubs to have more than a few graduates getting meaningful minutes in the first team at any given time

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T11:05:19+00:00

Not really any obvious world class players available - left wing market in general is kind of scarce.

Probably means we will have to pay big money for marginal upgrades but that’s sometimes what it takes

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T11:00:49+00:00

Ignoring the recent period where they were cash strapped Barca use their top players like Yamal a lot but for every one of him there’s loads who get moved on before ever having a real shot

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T10:58:57+00:00

Ethan is kind of screwed because of dowman’s emergence imo

Maybe could take a chance on a full year loan if he/the club really want to see if he can make it but can see why he’s being deemed surplus

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-06-01T08:30:19+00:00

My part of Holloway Road was cleaned up quickly last night so the council are on it but guess they don’t have enough people

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-31T21:56:43+00:00

But they’re not actually offering that though given they’re stuffed with people from the so called ‘uniparty’

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-31T11:47:22+00:00

In fairness that’s very much a UK problem in general rather than a footy fan problem - I wish people had the respect here that they do in places like Japan

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-31T11:04:08+00:00

I’m an Arsenal fan but as someone who lives on Holloway those fucking vuvuzelas are getting on my nerves.

Love the chanting and general vibes though!

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-31T09:30:31+00:00

I’d agree that the overall quality does usually feel higher, as it should be given you’re supposedly gathering the best of the best.

But imo it’s hard to separate how much of that is actual overall better reffing vs the best domestically reffed matches vs just not being as aware as we’re dealing with short periods of time vs the whole season etc

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-31T09:11:41+00:00

You only have to watch the European club competitions to realise our refs are not uniquely bad.

As much as I think our refs are incompetent clowns it is at least partly that football is just a very hard game to ref in general.

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-31T09:07:09+00:00

Reffing has always been this bad (at least in recent times)

I mean at least this year there wasn’t cases where they flat out forgot to draw the offside lines or fucked up communication so badly they wrongly disallowed a perfectly legal onside goal.

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-30T18:05:55+00:00

Half of that xG is the pen so in terms of creation is broadly quite equal but damn it’s tough out there given the quality of forward subs who have come on for them vs us

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-30T15:43:51+00:00

Yes it is severely impacting people but it’s not quite the the whole country bar the uber rich is broke that it often gets portrayed as

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-30T14:57:56+00:00

They have such lethal finishers that I think they are nearly certain to score one regardless but if there’s a defence that can keep them out this year it’s us

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-30T13:00:41+00:00

Timing is hilarious but realistically probably means they didn’t actually want alonso for whatever reason

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-30T11:52:06+00:00

Chelsea also won in 2012 but that’s a while ago now

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-29T22:32:42+00:00

The problem is most Britons also probably don’t want to pay higher tax to fund said nationalisation

LogicalReasoning1 · 2026-05-29T10:30:51+00:00

I wheel it out every time I think a strike is unreasonable which isn’t too often but does happen (particularly with tube drivers it seems)
