Katyusha

Pedro took too much coke before this game. All that sugar has made him rowdy.

Every single time we start a 2nd-half, our players step up a level. Instantly we see the results of instructions given to them by Conte during the break. What a king.

he loves blue

I noticed that too. This is proof we all see the same moon. I've more faith in CFC fans than astronomers evidently. Hopefully it turns blue soon.

If only we used that Bats to accompany Diego instead of using a still-grieving player. Makes no sense.

If it makes anyone feel better, nobody else has scored yet. A lot of games on today, no goals yet. Might just be something in the air. Probably sent over from China.

If any of us get a ban for doing so I'll personally find the IP address of who runs this and send multiple pictures of my and my cat's assholes.

He makes me wonder if some refs apply for the job, hiding the fact they're colour blind, then don't have the balls to pull out a card unless it's a red. It'd explain some refs performances.

I do, I actually get better stream quality on my laptop vs. the freezing I get every 5 seconds on my PC. I guess that's because I have a wireless adapter for the PC and it isn't plugged into the router. The plus of being on the laptop though, is i get to relax in bed while my cat purrs on my balls.

I'm not even sure how he'd have spoken to some Brazilian TV channel, I mean, he is in London isn't he? Did they just fly over for an invasive chat?

If that's the case I hope it's a fight to the death vs. Costa.

The Chinese PL excites me. China as a country essentially decided that the way to be considered 'modern' and a powerhouse outside of shady/cheap trading with other countries, was to let sport represent them. It's a big ambition, but they want to have the best football league in the world. So, all the biggest companies in China have banded together, some co-owning teams with eachother, and all are looking out for eachother despite competing. On a slightly different note, Shanghai is basically what everyone thinks Tokyo is. Tokyo was futuristic in the 80's & 90's, but nowadays when you go there, they're still stuck in times back then. Yes they have fancy toilets which say a prayer after you poop in them, yes they have a super train system, but the innovation ends there (well, they also have cool sachets of rice which you just plop into water for cooking.) But the buttons on the washing machines are mint-green plastic from the 50's, the architecture is.. quite terrible, unless you really enjoy the small charming houses which can fit 1.5 people in them. Shanghai on the other hand, it's said they move forward 5 years for every 1 year at this current rate. People say it's like the year 2030 there, and I want to go see for myself. But, I absolutely despise China as a whole due to their obsession with slicing endangered tigers in half, leaving them to bleed out on factory floors, then selling their penises. They have a disgusting culture, supplemented with a surface-level of beauty for foreigners. I've no idea why i'm sharing this, I think it's because I took ginseng (thank you Korea).

It's not healthy to rely on one player like we do so much. Today will be like taking the training wheels off, and changing the nice tarmac road we usually use for a steep mountain with deadly trees. This can only make our other players better in the long run.

I actually liked the fact he was tenacious, and at times, a real runner. But, you just can't play for a top side behind the strikers and not register a goal every 3 or 4 games. Which I think he did only at first (when we had MaZaCar ). He benefits most from having the passing players around him, so that he can act as a surprisingly astute and down to earth player. But when you have less of those tiki-chicken-tika players, like our current situation, you need to step up and fill the creative boots left behind (Mata), which he did not. Top players adjust their game, and he couldn't. He even looked uncomfortable in central midfield, always looking like he wanted to go for goal, knowing full well he wouldn't hit the back of the net. A jack of all trades, or a master of 1. You have to pick which you'll be no matter your profession. He's clearly the former (as is Willian, as is Pedro, hence having their days numbered regardless of form). We need more masters.

I really disagree but I'll concede since I'm a noob here. I simply have faith, faith in Arsene being Arsene and faith that Sanchez would press for his release. I know he'd love to win some trophies, and I know Arsenal will never make a bigger sale.

Honestly I believe 1/10 players going to China will get a rush from being a part of their league's growth to being a powerhouse. Knowing you'll forever be known in that country for being one of the few to help them is almost as good as the millions.

50-60m to Le Arse for Sanchez would be incredible and not turned down. But, I don't think Sanchez will be at this level for more than 2-3 years. Although less flashy and perhaps not as good, going by other people's opinions, Dybala would be a worthy acquisition. Or we split the 60m; 30m to Conte & 15m a piece to Costa & Hazard when we win the league
