I cannot wait until we unleash ESR this season
Imagine a front line of Martinelli-ESR-Nketiah-Nelson-Saka (yes I know Nelson isn’t a midfielder but let me force him in for the sake of hale end ok)
Big season for him. I really hope he’s up for the challenge.
Tbh I would love to see regular rotation of our attacking players, provided they are all firing. Exciting to see how the boss can vary things up.
Testing a comment from a different Lemmy instance for no other reason than being a nerd.
We stan being nerdy
Most excellent, seems to be working. Just wanted to test out a smaller instance.
Fair warning that iirc sh.itjust.works is also defederated by Beehaw lol
Yeah I know haha. The main reason I created it was because Lemmy world was giving me so many issues but they seemed to have stabilized it. So this is just a back up account methinks. (Though I do like the suffix more than Lemmy.world haha)
Lemmy.world was having problems during the upgrade to the latest version of Lemmy. They fixed it now and I believe everything is going much smoother.
Follow /c/lemmyworld for updates on the instance
Lemmy.world admins are pros and do really well with keeping users informed.
Beehaw defederates too liberally. They’re going to be an echo chamber in a little corner of the world.
still waiting for Rice to be announced
No announcement apparently. Apparently all the ITKs were bullshitting. He’s doing the second part of his medical today and hasn’t even done any media work or contract signing yet. TNAT says he’s expecting the signing in the later half of next week.
I’d be very surprised if he’s not announced by the time we head to Germany.
Players already on the flight

What does ITK actually mean?
I can’t figure out if it’s a sarcastic term or literal…
Gunnerblog seems to use the term a lot but also presents himself as one - I don’t get it.@MutualityWSDEs @I_am_the_grass @bruv99 My understanding is that it’s

😁It’s in the know. Its certainly am ironic term because most believe they don’t know shit.
Like James said though, there are some exceptions like TNAT that clearly have inside information. My general feeling is that the ones you talk less know more. Those that tweet every two hours clearly don’t know shit because 1) things don’t move that fast 2) even if they did, their source isn’t going to give them live updates.
James isn’t an ITK though. He’s a journalist for the Athletic. Journalists have inside information, some of which they report on and some they don’t (either because they can’t validate the information or they’ve been asked to hold off, etc).
@I_am_the_grass
Yeah, ok - ironic and derisive, I guess.
Not heard of TNAT. I don’t really follow news updaters on Twitter, well I definitely don’t at all now cos I don’t have an account.
I do feel like there is a level of elitism &gatekeeping that goes on with these kinds of terms&discourses, when it comes to the established/establishment Arsenal podcasts.
James isnt an ITK but he is literally ITK, but that’s the point I think, he uses the term to create separation&prestige for his ‘brand’.TNAT is teamnewsandtix, aka leakedlineups on instagram — been an ITK for FPL players for a while, but recently has been talking about our transfers as well.
@Astrealix
Ok, thanks!
it’s interesting cuz i’ve found a lot of people that probably know a bit of actual stuff based on what they’ve said
like Purple Panel definitely has some sources as much as I don’t trust that their reporting is as accurate as their arrogance about it suggests.
Woah Spurs just raised GA ticket prices by 20%
Sounds like the kind of thing our club would have done back when Usmanov was still part of the ownership.
Hate how quiet weekend news is… I’m getting pretty hungry, want some rice…
I hear that. I hope he can meet up with the team in Germany - the sooner he starts working with the others the better.
All I’ve eaten all week 🧐
