@Orangeiceman10 Notice they never bring up his managerial record.
Can’t help but think that might speak to his judgment

I listen to music I've never heard to try to understand what I've been missing and what made it popular. And I listen with headphones. Clues in the title really

Thierry Henry would start for every team at this World Cup, that is how good he was
We don’t really listen to him
Alvaro Romeo@Alvaro_Romeo
Graeme Souness would start for any team in this world cup. This is how good he was. So listen to him.

@coachcoyne_ It is our money. We pay for all this.
Also. Overpaying on one player means not getting another player. The finances, however boring, do matter. We’re not owned by an oil state. Or a hedge fund with dubious accounting practices.
English
This is some of our fans problem, they act like its their money. Though tbh, I'm never worried about any signing Chels make anymore. This one could work... Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer are best friends
Clive 🏆@clivepafc
I really like £85m Morgan Rogers a lot. At £100m - a bit squeamish I can live without £117m Morgan Rogers Always other players out there
English
@sid_lambert Just about the best centre back I’ve ever seen in the prem. I say that as an Arsenal fan….
English
It’s Jaap Stam’s birthday. You remember him.
Big Dutch fella. Once made pour Pietro Parente shit out his soul during a Serie A game.
Bring yer dinner.
English
@Shamsdale Since we have two injury prone (albeit brilliant) right backs, so probably need one, I think we should. Let Mosquera, timber and white be the CB’s. New guy as RB option or even takes the shirt
English
Not exactly thrilled about the prospect of signing Konsa, but I struggle to think of anyone else who can play RCB at a high level in the PL but would also feasibly be willing to play understudy to Saliba when he returns. Wonder if Arsenal are better off just signing another RB.
English
@RorySmith Because some people will buy them and that makes FIFA money. The World Cup winners are hand models for FIFA’s next money making scheme.
English
There will be a lot of anger about this but to be honest I don't mind it for the players. I mean they have medals but fine, whatever, doesn't do any harm. But what's the point if you can just...buy one?
Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomano
🚨💍 OFFICIAL: FIFA to award the winners of the World Cup with championship rings. It’s the first time in history, following some of the American sports. 30 rings will be made available to the world champions, with a further 1,996 rings going on sale to fans.
English
@thearsenalscout I suppose the only push back is identifying the right back you now definitely need….
English
I don’t understand the need for Konsa (28) if you have Mosquera (22).
Mosquera is significantly bigger, stronger, faster, fresher and brought up on Spanish ball playing football.
Makes more sense to have White compete for RCB & sign a new RB as build up is also critical for us.
English
Kai / Gyok / Merino
Saka / Madueke / Dowman
Ode / Eze / Nwaneri
Rogers / Martinelli / Tzolis
I see a lot of depth, variation and different styles but a lack of star quality.

That would be our CL final attack. Good enough?
English
@Hesfivefootfour That’s no excuse! He should have used his aura.
English
Cannot believe Rice allowed that from the bench
RTR Swipe@RTRSwipe
@SportsUncensrd He's not wrong. Can you imagine Souness (or any other class DM back in the day) allowing Fernandez 2 or 3 seconds (an eternity) to line up his shot from 22 yards out, especially as we had 10 FUCKING DEFENDERS in our box?

@fkhanage I don’t think I know what an £100 million player is anymore. Or £80.
I do think left wing is the most obvious and easiest place to upgrade our attack. But I’m not sure Morgan Roger’s is a left winger/wide forward. As such, it’s a lot of money on faith .
English
@DrRitzyy Reasonable chance he goes out on a loan again with man UTD covering a chunk of the wages. Then he becomes very interesting
English
Interesting, very interesting.
David Ornstein@David_Ornstein
🚨 Marcus Rashford £40m exit clause for all bar #LFC & #MCFC ended July 15. Any #MUFC sale now must be negotiated. Returns to training after break; approaches will be considered (28yo already rejected more lucrative options), otherwise stays @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/74507…
English
@Coo84_ff You can always quibble on ratings, but gotta say, these seem pretty fair to me. Nicely done
English
Night to myself so I’m going to write an honest player by player review of England’s World Cup performance
Disclaimer - I’ve no club bias towards any player in this. Just saying what I saw without club blinkers on like most of you.
Here we go…….
English
@MaxRadwan I don’t particularly rate Mainoo. But I can’t help feeling he was a better solution last night than the 6th defender……
English
Mainoo started every knockout game at Euro 2024 and we were totally overrun in midfield. He isn’t the solution.
𝙁@fuadyabz23
this guy got 0 minutes all tournament. even in adversity tuchel not once looked his way. look at the intent.
English
@OliverKay @CGKnowsBall I’m not sure it’s mad to suggest that his lack of mobility (among other things) might hinder a team in the most important moments against the best opponents. Which, despite all the success, has been England’s ‘problem’ during this wonderful run .
English
@CGKnowsBall Do you realise this has been England's best run of tournament performances ever? In all of those tournaments bar one (Euro 2024, where he looked exhausted but still scored three goals en route to the final) he's been top-class.
To say he is or has ever been "the problem" is mad
English
How do you provide service to a striker who hides in his own half for most of the game?
We have this debate every tournament. Kane is the common denominator in all his failures for club and country. He is the problem.
Oliver Kay@OliverKay
Lots of people slagging off Harry Kane, saying he "never turns up" in the biggest games. Obviously struggled vs Argentina, but he's had a great World Cup, scoring six goals despite mediocre service much of the time. No service whatsoever yesterday. Criticised for dropping deep, criticised for staying up front, criticised for not single-handedly winning the game when the team has completely stopped playing. Think some people need to realise the problem with England isn't Harry Kane nytimes.com/athletic/74489…
English
@ac_eds_ @c00ngolese What are we going to lose? We haven’t won anything.
English
@listenwithpod @c00ngolese England very possibly lose to Congo without Kane. He’ll be a big loss when he retires.
English
It’s honestly not that deep. Spain are currently playing oyazarbal up top, at the euros they had Morata
cole@c_0L_e
Worst part is I’ve just realised Kane will be 36 at the next World Cup. Who the fuck are we gonna start up top? That feels like the last chance for a long LONG time
English
The annual signing that everyone hates for some reason is done. Now we’re waiting for the:
- The signing that will split the fanbase
- Chelsea signings
- The signing everyone will love
David Ornstein@David_Ornstein
🚨 Arsenal reach agreement with Club Brugge to sign Christos Tzolis. Deal for 24yo left winger done at €40m asking price set by #ClubBrugge. Move in process of being finalised - Greece international wanted & prioritised #AFC move throughout @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/73566…
English
@Adesoji1215 @Gideoomatic We’ll have to agree to disagree
English
@listenwithpod @Gideoomatic It definitely would be. Might not be as smooth as it was against France, but they'll still have more of the possession and pass till time runs out. One thing they'll never do sit back and try to defend
English
@henrywinter Why do we have to hope that?
‘All that he has done for the national side’ is the rationale that keeps Ronaldo playing.
English
Let's hope Harry Kane continues to the Euros, breaking Peter Shilton's incredible cap record (possibly in October), then reaching 100 goals, getting a statue for all he has done for English football, the national team and charity... 1/2
English
@fkhanage The positive case for him is that I think this was pretty much Leo when he arrived…..
English
@Adesoji1215 @Gideoomatic Down to ten men? It wouldn’t have been the tiki taka we saw against France now would it?
English
@listenwithpod @Gideoomatic You think if it was Spain against Mexico, the game would have ended the way it did with England?
English
The thing with the ‘look what you could have brought’ discourse is, Tuchel had options and didn’t use them. He chose defenders. Bowen, Foden, Palmer or the reanimated corpse of Dixie fucking Dean would have been getting the same splinters in their arse as everyone else.
