I’m off to my step-father’s funeral later today. He was a good old guy, and a gooner too. Not really looking forward to the day.
My condolences.
In other news I think someone is brigading me cuz I was talking about nuclear fission power needing to be considered an option and not just discarded out of fear and now every single one of my comments from like the past day has a downvote on it, lol.
To be clear; there are very good arguments against nuclear fission power. But most of the ones people use aren’t.
Growing pains I suppose. A few weeks ago someone said the same thing on !support@lemmy.world (different political issue).
Yeah I remember seeing something like that. Personally not too bothered, the admins have enough on their plate
Just realised that Partey and Tomi are gonna be gone for January cuz AFCON / AFC Asian cup (which Hong Kong has made!!! Finally!!!)
We really need another player in defence.
13 hours til takeoff…
Brentford away is a really poor draw in the Carabao cup. They’re a tricky opponent, so will actually be a test. Plus they’re a London team with a fairly small stadium, so I won’t have enough away credits to get a ticket.
Good news is, Raya can play apparently. They’re gonna be a problem though.
On this day Mikel and Per joined the team, and the rest is history.
Do we think there will be any more outgoings today and tomorrow?
Outgoings yea, incomings is what I’m thinking about. I doubt the likes of Cedric would be happy completely not playing for a few months. I think Holding will head to Spain, we’ll sort something out for Lokonga, Tavares will officially leave, and Pepe will take a few more days. Cedric is anyone’s guess cuz I’ve not heard anyone interested. Okonkwo I hope gets one for his sake, and Elneny will stay. That’s what I think at least.
I won’t get to know until it’s almost over cuz of my flight though 😅 heading to the airport rn
Have a safe flight! Hope we have some good transfer news for you when you get some internet. Haha.
EXCL: HERE WE GO! Arsenal have agreed the transfer of Musiala from Bayern Munich. Understand fee set to be 30 mil, rising to 50 mil following addons.
I had no fucking idea who to even jokingly suggest here and got stuck on it for several minutes lol, gimme a defender tho please gaffer
Lemmy.world been down for so long today, glad to see it back lol
Eddie, Saka, Rice, Ramsdale all get an England call up.
No Sterling, no Pope. Interesting.
Maguire is still there. How.
Maguire basically doesn’t play for a season under Ten Hag and still is first name to get called up for England.
To be fair I get why he gets a call up, I just don’t think he deserves it over some other people. Like if I were Southgate and the rumours regarding Ben White were true, I’d rather call Maguire up than White, especially with what he’s trying to do with the culture of the national team. I just hope he doesn’t play.
@Astrealix @ironeaglebird why Benny blanco rumors?
@Astrealix @ironeaglebird meant ‘what’?
Word was during the World Cup he had a bust up with staff, possibly Steve Holland (assistant manager to Southgate). Wouldn’t agree with it but it could make sense to not call him up because of that.
Southgate loves that man
Saliba getting called this international break. Lovely.
How was Seaman our last GK of the year before Ramsdale lol, that’s actually mad
Queseda-Thorn getting a senior call up for Costa Rica. Assume it’s to lock him in? Feel like they’ve gotta have better players to call up than an 18 year old youth player lol
Brentford away for EFL Round 3, it’s gonna be tough
Can’t be worse than last season.
Chelsea’s away kit… do they realise the purpose of an away kit?
@astrealix@lemmy.world this is still stuck
