This is ETH in his stupid little hat
Someone called him Peaky Blunder somewhere, and I think about that a lot now.
This may be a hot take but here it is: Barclays and La Liga are the only non banter top leagues in the world. Every other top league is basically a comedy show or a farmers league
England will only have two teams in the CL Ro16 so this is as false as it can get

Jeff Stelling has said the fa cup 3rd round draw should be seeded, as the lower league teams in league 2 and non league are looking for big paydays and TV coverage by playing teams in the prem/championship.
He argues that they should be given their moment in the sun vs a big club, rather than playing each other, getting no TV coverage and getting little to no money from their tie.
I have found it strange how many prem vs prem fixtures have been produced in the domestic cups lately.
On the other hand, prem vs prem means that lower league sides can advance further in the competition. One of us and Liverpool is getting eliminated straight away, that’s a big hitter guaranteed to be out after round 3.
Do you lot agree with Jeff or not?
Yeah makes sense. Makes it harder for them to actually win though. and could mean prem fans aren’t really tuned in until quarters
No. Have the fun of the FA cup is when the Northwesternshire Wanderers FC get to the last 16 or something.
Goes against the fabric of the Cup itself though. Also when a big team draws a big team early on, chances are a lesser team makes it marginally further in the competition too.
I get it, but don’t think it will change and personally don’t think it should
Pep said that modern wingers don’t take enough risks. I agree
sold Jesus, Sterling, Sane and replaced them with Grealish
Ok Pep
Weird how all the ones he buys come as exciting players and then after half a season look like robots lol. Then he sells the ones like sterling who were risk machines…
Says the man the create this “mess”.
Still waiting on PGMOL and the FA to go “Waaaaaaaah, City are meanies!”
Wondering what Howard Webb will present on live TV too. Hooper’s brain scans?
Nah, they’ll own up to this one without a big fuss (no media campaigns and commentators being used to express their disgust at City’s behaviour)
Are r/gunners ready to accept that tomiyasu is world class yet, or shall I come back in another few weeks?
Very good player, not world class yet.
You’ll all come around eventually
He’s not top 3 in any position in the premier league, so obviously not.
A few months of world class performances isn’t enough to make a player world class.
There’s a difference between being in world class form and being world class.
Pope out for the season. Reckon they come in for Rambo now.
De Gea still available?
Fair shout.
He’s probably still free because of wage demands. But yeah could be a good option for them for 6 months.
Its mad to think he’s still free, not great with the ball at his feet, but he saved united from embarrassment so many times last season
We shouldn’t entertain the idea of letting Ramsdale go imo, not in January anyway
Don’t let those geordie cunts have him, fuck Newcastle
Also a stupid move for ramsdale’s career because he’ll be competing with a top class goalie again once pope is fit. Unless we send him on loan which I can’t see us doing as that only benefits Newcastle
You know what, 50mil for him and i actually can see it being a good transfer for all parties involved, Ramsdale behind that geordie crowd will become more insufferable for away fans than Pickford currently is, they will absolutely love him and he wouldn’t have to stress over playing it out from the back, not under Howe at least. We really got to squeeze those geordie bastards for all we can though.
For Saudi FC, 70 million
So City are going away to Villa without Rodri, Grealish, KDB, possibly even Doku and Stones ? Yeah, we might be 6 points clear this week. But this only puts even bigger pressure on that L’pool game we have later on this month. It’s going to be a blood bath.
In Sweden we all know he’s an Arsenal fan. He even said so on a podcast haha.
We also play Villa away next weekend, let’s not get too carried away
No one’s getting carried away though is it ? If we deal with Luton (which we should have) and City lose to Villa, we’re 6 points clear of them, it’s that simple.
Going away to Villa next weekend, assuming we take an L and City win, there’s still 3 points between us. L’pool can only overtake us by 1 point, no matter how you look at it. That’s why i’m saying that Arsenal-L’pool game is going to be a blood bath, whoever wins that game, probably goes top of the league.
Just watched this absolute gem😂😂 so glad our boss will never allow this happen from any of our players. https://youtu.be/hQxcbTBoOzM?si=fuXDaEmHA456xzsB
They compared him to Saka by the way
You know its bad when even their own fanbase is calling him out.
Made this comment after watching that game.

Such a lazy ass player.
Auba regen (and even Auba did more than him after extension)
so glad to have wingers like saka and gabi they always work hard defensively and track back
Random fact: PSV currently have 14-0-0 record in dutch league with 50-6 GD.
Wow the state of the Dutch league must be a dumpster fire right now
Have you seen the state of Ajax atm? Dumpster fire is apt.
Dutch league tax
Bozo league held up by like 3 clubs and one of them (Ajax) is completely shitting the bed right now
They’ve turned it around since they sacked the manager tbf but probably too late to get back into any sort of title race
Man like Ramsdale and Reiss about to be worked extra hard
Eredevisie though
Just commuting to work on the metro in Tokyo and noticed this lady’s socks in front of me. Resisting the urge to trip her, I waltzed past and told her to “mind the gap” in Japanese. In hindsight, she might have thought I was talking about the gap between the platform and the train… Which would explain the puzzled look on her face 😅
Why you taking photos of random women in public?? This is strange
Not that deep
Very odd.
Poor girl was going about her day not know this dude was behind her
Cash, Digne and Luiz one yellow from suspension and face City on Wednesday.
Let’s hope for a violent game which lead to City dropping points and to soften up Villa on the weekend.
Any news on Mikel’s fine/ban?
I got a feeling those fuckers are going to touchline ban him for tougher games, probably Liverpool + West Ham.
